Term
Definition
Lysogenic Infection   Process in which viral DNA becomes part of a host cell's DNA  
🗑
Prion   Misfolded protein that causes disease in animals  
🗑
Bacteriophage   Virus that infects bacteria  
🗑
Antibiotic   Compound that can block the growth and reproduction of bacteria  
🗑
Virus   A particle made of genetic material and a capid that can replicate only by infecting living cells  
🗑
Prokaryote   Organism consisting of one cell that lacks a nucleus  
🗑
Prophage   Bacteriophage DNA that is embedded in the host's DNA  
🗑
Pathogen   Disease-causing microorganism  
🗑
Lytic Infection   Process in which a host cell bursts after being invaded by a virus  
🗑
Endospore   Protective structure formed by a prokaryote when growth conditions are unfavorable  
🗑
Binary Fission   How bacteria reproduce; Process in which a bacterium replicates its DNA and divides in half  
🗑
Vaccine   Preparation of weakened or killed pathogens or inactivated toxins used to produce immunity  
🗑
Capsid   A protein surrounding a virus  
🗑
Ribovirus   Viruses that have RNA as their genetic material  
🗑
SARS, MRSA, Ebola, and bird flu are all example of this   Viral Infection / Disease  
🗑
Robert Koch   Identified the specific microbes that caused diseases and came up with four postulates  
🗑
Ignaz Semelweiss   Many women were dying during childbirth, becuase of something called "childbed fever" so he came up with the idea that doctors should wash their hands before delivering babies  
🗑
Edward Jenner   Developed a vaccine against smallpox after observing that people who got cowpox did not get smallpox  
🗑
Louis Pasteur   Developed "germ theory" which proposed that specific microbes acted as disease fighting agents  
🗑
Robert Hooke   Developed his own microscope and invented the term "cell"  
🗑
Antoni van Leewenhoek   One of the first to observe microbes (living, moving, microorganisms)  
🗑
Rudolph Virchow   All cells come from other cells. All diseases are caused by cell that do not work properly.  
🗑
Joseph Lister   After research, he introduced sterilizing clothing and equipment in surgery  
🗑
This theory states that pathogens are what causes disease   Germ Theory of Disease  
🗑
Flagellum   what bacteria uses to move  
🗑
Viroid   infectious RNA that passes through seeds or pollen to cause disease in plants  
🗑
Rod-shaped prokaryotes   bacilli  
🗑
Spiral-shaped prokaryotes   spirilla or spirochetes  
🗑
Round-shaped (spherical) prokaryotes   cocci  
🗑
Antibiotics   Chemicals that kill or slow the growth of bacteria. It only works on living things without a cell wall (AKA humans).  
🗑
Another name for a disease-causing agent   Pathogen  
🗑
Infectious Disease   A disease carried by a pathogen that is transmitted from organism to organism  
🗑
The Use of Koch's Postulates is...   To identify the cause of a certain disease  
🗑
What is the treatment for pathogens?   Prevention  
🗑
What is the treatment for protists (malaria)?   Chloroquine and ACTs (artemisinin-based combination therapy)  
🗑
What is the treatment for bacteria?   Antibiotics  
🗑
What is the treatment for viruses?   Vaccines  
🗑
Conjugation   The transfer of genetic material between two prokaryotes; A process in which some bacteria exchange genetic material  
🗑
Prokaryote   A unicellular organism that lacks a nucleus. Classified into bacteria and archaea.  
🗑
Endocytosis   How a virus gets inside a cell  
🗑
Lysogenic Cycle   The viral DNA combines with the host DNA. Whenever the cell divides, the virus is copied into daughter cells. A trigger causes the Lytic Cycle to start  
🗑
Lytic Cycle   When viral DNA takes over and uses energy from the host to reproduce  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
