Play This Game


Bacteria Structure
#1 What is the structure used for movement? Flagellum
#2 What is the genetic material found inside? (Bacteria) DNA
#3 What is the fluid filled space? Cytoplasm
#4 What is the main structural difference between eubacteria and archaebacteria? A peptidoglycan layer
#5 Where are the ribosomes found? Floating in the cytoplasm
Virus Structure
#1 What is a bacteriophage? A virus that infects bacteria
#2 What are the leg looking structures called on the T4 virus? Tail fiber
#3 What is found in the head of a T4 virus? DNA
#4 What is a virus's protein coat called? A capsid
#5 What is a typical virus composed of? A core of DNA or RNA surrounded by a protein coat
Metabolic Diversity
#1 Use light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water to carbon compounds Photoautotrophs
#2 These organisms are photosynthetic, but they also need to take in organic compounds as a carbon source Photoheterotrophs
#3 These organisms must take in organic material for both energy and a supply of carbon Chemoheterotrophs
#4 These organisms use energy directly from chemical reastions involving ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, nitrates, etc Chemoautotrophs
#5 These organisms can live deep in the darkness of the ocean Chemoautotrophs
Bacteria Growth, Reproduction, and Releasing of Energy
#1 Exchange of genetic information through a hollow bridge that forms between two bacterial cells Conjugation
#2 A ____________ is formed when a bacterium produces a thick internal wall that encloses its DNA and a portion of its cytoplasm Endospore
#3 A group of bacteria that can survive with or without oxygen are known as _________________ ___________________ facultative anaerobes
#4 A type of asexual reproduction in which an organism replicates it's DNA and divides in half producing two identical daughter cells Binary Fission
#5 These type of bacteria live in the absense of oxygen Obligate anaerobes
Lytic and Lysogenic Infections
#1 What is a host cell? The bacteria cell used by the virus as a home for its replication process
#2 The type of viral infection that kills the host cell immediately is called ____________ Lytic
#3 What does a bacteriophage inject once it lands onto a bacteria? its DNA
#4 What is the basic concept of lysogenic infections? A host cell makes copies of the virus indefinately because it integrated it's DNA
#5 What happens when the cell lyses? New bacteriaphages (viruses) get released
Final Question
Describe how lytic infection can lead to a spread of viruses throughout an organism Lytic infection creates hundreds of virus particles that burst out of the cell and leave to infect another bacteria
