Definition

 an organism that causes disease

Term

Ribosome's make chemicals known as

Definition

proteins

Term

Most bacteria are decomposers so they are called

Definition

saprophytes

Term
  • Some bacteria feed on a living host which means they are
Definition

  • parasites

Term

  • Autotrophic bacteria manufacture food by either [blank] or [blank]

Definition

  • Autotrophic bacteria manufacture food by either photosynthesis of chemosynthesis (promoting chemical reactions that release energy)

Term

  • Aerobic

Definition

  • Aerobic: they need oxygen

Term

  • Anaerobic

Definition

  • Anaerobic: do not need oxygen and either decompose dead organisms or convert useless chemicals into chemicals that can be used by other life forms

Term

  • Asexual reproduction in bacteria is often called [blank]

Definition

  • Asexual reproduction in bacteria is often called binary fission

Term

  • Genetic recombination is when bacteria exchange genetic information by one of three ways: [blank], [blank], or [blank]

Definition

  • Genetic recombination is when bacteria exchange genetic information by one of three ways: conjugation, transformation, or transduction

Term

  • Bacteria can survive harsh conditions by forming [blank]

Definition

  • Bacteria can survive harsh conditions by forming endospores

Term

  • A bacterial colony is a simple association of individual bacteria. Bacteria in a streptococcus colony have a [blank] shape, bacteria in a diplobacillus colony have a [blank] shape

Definition

  • A bacterial colony is a simple association of individual bacteria. Bacteria in a streptococcus colony have a spherical shape, bacteria in a diplobacillus colony have a rod shape

Term

  • A gram stain will make a bacteria look either [blank] or [blank]

Definition

  • A gram stain will make a bacteria look either blue or red

Term

  • Gram-negative bacteria are in phylum gracilicutes, gram-positive are in phylum firmicutes. Bacteria with cell walls are in phylum Mendosicutes, bacteria with no cell walls are in phylum Tenericutes

Definition

  • Gram-negative bacteria are in phylum gracilicutes, gram-positive are in phylum firmicutes. Bacteria with cell walls are in phylum Mendosicutes, bacteria with no cell walls are in phylum Tenericutes

Term

  • Phylum Gracilicutes has three classes: Scotobacteria (non-photosynthetic bacteria), Anoxyphotobacteria (photosynthetic bacteria that do not produce oxygen) and Oxyphotobacteria (photosynthetic bacteria that produce oxygen). Phylum Firmicutes has two classes: Firmibacteria (cocci and bacilli bacteria) and Thallobacteria (bacteria of any other shape). Phylum Tenericutes has only one  class: molecules. Phylum Mendosicutes has only one class: Archaebacteria. Many places that are uninhabitable to other organisms will be populated with members of class Archaebacteria

Term

ue-green algae are called [blank]and are photosynthetic

Definition

ue-green algae are called cyanobacteria and are photosynthetic

Term
