Term | Definition |
---|---|
virus | non-living made up of a protein coat and nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) |
nucleic acid | DNA or RNA |
bacteriophage | virus that infects bacteria |
host cell | a virus can only reproduce inside of this |
lytic cycle | rapidly kills the host cell and new viruses are released |
lysogenic cycle | the virus does not immediately kill the host cell but will eventually become harmful |
common cold, influenza, warts, AIDS, chicken pox | all types of viruses |
Vaccination | a weakened or dead virus to stimulate the body to attack the virus if it enters the body again |
Vaccines | used to prevent viruses |
unicellular | one cell |
multicelluar | more than one cell |
prokaryote | cell with no nucleus; bacteria |
eukaryote | cell with a nucleus |
flagellum | a tail used for movement |
binary fission | asexual reproduction done by bacteria |
conjugation | process for bacteria to allow for some genetic variation |
lyme disease, tuberculosis, meningitis, strep throat, tooth decay | all types of baterial diseases |
antibiotics | used to kill bacteria; cannot be used on viruses |
antibiotic resistance | when bacteria evolve or mutate due to improper use of antibiotics |
taxonomy | science of classifying and naming organisms |
binomial nomenclature | 2-word naming system |
genus and species | makes up the name of the organism |
DKPCOFGS | Domain, Kingdom, Phylym, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species (Dear King Phillip Came Over For Good Soup) |
heterotroph | organism that consumes food; has to eat others |
autotroph | makes its own food; photosynthesis |
motile | movement |
archaebacteria | prokaryotic, unicellular, extreme environments |
