Question
Answer
Bioremediation   microorganisms which a contaminated site is exposed to break down the toxins, leaving behind organic products  
🗑
Rickettsias   very small, rod shaped bacteria. few species are pathogenic to humans and other animals, contracted through bites  
🗑
azotabacteria   inhabit the soil and fix nitrogen under aerobic conditions  
🗑
pseudonomads   heterotrophs that produce non-photosynthetic pigments  
🗑
phizobium   species live symbiotically in root nodules of leguminous plants  
🗑
vibrios   mainly marine, some are bioluminescent  
🗑
enterobacteria   include decomposers that live on decaying plant matter, pathogens and a variety of bacteria that inhabit humans  
🗑
Extreme thermophiles   normally grow in hot (45-115 C), acidic environments  
🗑
Extreme halophiles   heterotrophs that live in saturated brine solutions, like salt ponds  
🗑
methanogens   large diverse group of archaea that inhabit oxygen free environments in sewage and swamps, common in the digestive tracks in humans  
🗑
signature sequences   each group has these, distinctive nucleotides sequences in their ribosomal RNA  
🗑
Eubacteria   comprises all other prokaryotes  
🗑
archaea   includes a group of prokaryotes that produce methane gas from simple carbon sources and two groups that live in extreme environments  
🗑
obligate anaerobes   can carrry on energy yeilding metabolism on anaerobically. they can be killed even in low concentrations of oxygen  
🗑
facultative anaerobes   ORganisms which can use oxygen for respiration or can undergo anaerobic resperation  
🗑
chemosynthetic autotrophs   obtain energy by oxidizing inorganic material  
🗑
photosynthetic autotrophs   obtain their energy from light  
🗑
autotrophs   manufacture their own organic molecules from raw materials  
🗑
saprotrophs   organisms that get their nourishment from dead organic matter  
🗑
heterotophs   must obtain organic compounds from other organisms  
🗑
conjugations   two cells of different mating types come together and genetic material is transferred from 1 to the other  
🗑
transduction   a phage carries bacterial genes from 1 cell into another  
🗑
transformation   fragments of DNA released by a cell are taken in by another cell  
🗑
fragmentation   walls develop within the cell, which then seperates into several new cells  
🗑
binary fission   process by which one cell divides into two similar cells  
🗑
budding   less common form of asexual reproduction among bacteria  
🗑
plasmids   small amounts of genetic material in a small end to end of single strand DNA  
🗑
flagella   the locomotion of most motile bacteria  
🗑
capsule   bacteria produced slime or surrounding that surrounds the cell wall  
🗑
Gram negative   cell which does not retain violet stain when mixed in alcohol (peptidoglycan is held within a membrane)  
🗑
gram positive   bacteria which absord and retain violet stain (have thick peptidoglycan layer)  
🗑
peptidoglycan   a complex polymer that consists of two unusual types of sugars linked with short polypeptides  
🗑
spirillum   bacteria in the shape of a long helix, provided it is rigid  
🗑
spirochete   a bacterium with a long helix shape and is not rigid  
🗑
Vibrio   bacterium shaped like a very short helix  
🗑
bacilli   rod shpaed bacteria, may occur as single rods or as long chains of rods  
🗑
cocci   spherical bacteria, occur singly in some species and in groups of independent cells in others  
🗑
bacteria   they are cellular organisms, prokaryotes and their cell structure is fundamentally different from the cells of ther living organisms  
🗑
Transmissiable spongiform encephalopathies   diseases caused by prions, cause infected brain appears to develop holes, becoming spongelike  
🗑
prion   a protein like infectious particle  
🗑
viroids   a very short strand of infectious RNA without any protein or capsid  
🗑
Lysogenic conversion   when bacterial cells containing temperate viruses exhibit new properties  
🗑
lysogenic cells   any bacteria carrying a prophage  
🗑
lysogenic cycle   viral genome becomes integrated into the host bacterial DNA and is then referred to as a prophage  
🗑
temperate viruses   do not always destroy their hosts  
🗑
lytic reproductive cycle   Virus lysis and destroys the host cell (1-attachment 2-penetration 3-replication 4-assembly 5-release)  
🗑
Virus   tiny infectious particle consisting of nucleic acid cor, surrounded by a protein coat called a capsid  
🗑
bacteriophages   viruses that kill bacteria (commonly called phages)  
🗑


   

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.
