Question
Answer
archaea   single-celled, lack nucleus, but archaea live in extreme conditions (extremophiles) and are genetically different according to their 18S rRNA  
🗑
bacteria   single-celled, lack nucleus, but are genetically different from archaea according to their 18S rRNA  
🗑
clade   grouping of organisms based on a common ancestor  
🗑
domain   archaea, bacteria, eukarya  
🗑
eukaryote   have a nucleus  
🗑
genus   groups of species that share a common ancestor  
🗑
species   groups of organisms that can interbreed  
🗑
systematics   studying the relationship of organisms, past, present using evolutionary trees  
🗑
taxonomy   process of naming, describing and classifying organisms  
🗑
8 categories of Linnaean classification   (Domain, Kingdom, Phyllum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species) Dear King Phillip Came Over For Good Spaghetti  
🗑
Scientific name is written   Genus (capitalized) and species (lowercase) all italicized/underlined  
🗑
if archaea are single-celled prokaryotes why aren't they in bacteria   sequences of the 18S rRNA, they're genetically different from another  
🗑
sizes of bacteria, eukaryotic cells, and viruses   Eukaryotic>bacteria>viruses  
🗑
characteristics used to classify bacteria   shape, gram positive/negative, clusters  
🗑
gram positive (Purple)   top layer is a peptidoglycan layer  
🗑
gram negative (the word pink has the letter n- in it)   top layer is an outer membrane composed of proteins and phospholipids  
🗑
3 main shapes of bacteria   cocci, bacilli (rod shaped), spirilla (spirals)  
🗑
why aren't viruses considered alive   viruses don't make ATP, don't have organelles  
🗑
lytic cycle   simple, virus infects cell, has the cell make its' copies and then the cell explodes with the viral particles  
🗑
lysogenic cycle   longer (much like the length of the word lysogenic), it infects a cell, then introduces its DNA into the hosts' chromosomes, the host replicates on its' own and replicates more of the viruses with it. Then the viruses are activated (due to stress)  
🗑
bioremediation   using biology to remove pollutants from the air, soil, water. Like oil-eating bacteria cleaning up the oil spills  
🗑
conjugation   one bacteria projects a pilus to pull another bacteria, sharing bacterial DNA  
🗑
binary fission   bacteria make copies of their DNA and pinch itself into 2 daughter cells  
🗑
endospore   think of undercover, they're inactive, but can be reactivated when their environment becomes safe to do so  
🗑
plasmid   circular piece of DNA found in bacterial cells (used in labs to introduce foreign DNA since they're easily manipulated) can contain genomes that help the bacteria survive (like the ability to use a different food source)  
🗑
pathogenic means   causing disease  
🗑
do prokaryotes reproduce asexually or sexually?   both (binary fission is asexually, but conjugation, transduction and transformation)  
🗑
plant-like algae protists (2 groups)   single celled plankton, multicellular seaweed  
🗑
animal-like protists (3 groups)   amoeba, paramecium, plasmodium  
🗑
fungus-like protists (2 groups)   slime and water molds  
🗑
algae   photosynthetic protists, includes plankton and seaweed  
🗑
amoebas and paramecium   single-celled, predatory, some are photosynthetic  
🗑
diatoms   used in diatomaceous earth because they produce silica glass shell when they die  
🗑
dinoflagellates   some are bioluminescent, some cause red tide, they have 2 flagella one that's a tail, and one in their middle  
🗑
planktons   single-celled algae protist  
🗑
protozoans   single-celled animal-like protists like amoebas and paramecium  
🗑
euglenoids   plant-like photosynthetic protists but are also animal-like since they have an eyespot  
🗑
transformation   pick up DNA from a dead cell  
🗑
transduction   bacterial cells infected by viruses (bacteriophages)  
🗑


   

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.
