Question
Answer
single-celled organisms that do not have a membrane bound nucleus   Prokaryote  
🗑
a protein-carbohyrate compound found in bacterial cell walls   peptidoglycan  
🗑
Archaeal group that converts hydrogen gas and carbon dioxide into methane gas for energy   methanogen  
🗑
Archaeal group of "salt-loving" bacteria   halophile  
🗑
Archaeal group that live in very hot, acidic environments   thermoacidophile  
🗑
rod-shaped bacterium   bacillus  
🗑
sphere-shaped bacterium   coccus  
🗑
spiral shaped bacterium   spirillum  
🗑
coccus bacterium found in chains   steptococcus  
🗑
bacterium that absorb the red dye into their cell wall during a Gram stain; simpler and have more peptidoglycan   Gram-negative bacterium  
🗑
bacterium that reject the red dye in a Gram stain and retain their purple color   Gram-positive bacterium  
🗑
chemicals that kill or inhibit the growth of other microorganisms   antibiotic  
🗑
small, circular, self-replicating loops of double-stranded DNA   plasmid  
🗑
sugars that bind to the cell wall and protect the cell from toxins and chemicals   capsule  
🗑
a fuzzy coat of stick sugars on the bacterial cell wall that allows bacteria to stick to substances and surfaces   glycocalyx  
🗑
short, hairlike projections that help bacteria connect to other bacteria   pilus  
🗑
a thick-coated, resistant structure found only in Gram-positive bacteria   endospore  
🗑
organisms that get their carbon from another organisms   heterotroph  
🗑
organisms that get carbon directly from the air   autotroph  
🗑
organisms that get their energy from sunlight   phototroph  
🗑
organisms that energy from chemicals in the environment   chemotroph  
🗑
coccus bacterium found in grapelike clusters   staphlyococcus  
🗑
prokaryotes that need oxygen to survive   obligate aerobe  
🗑
they can live with or without oxegen   facultative anaerobe  
🗑
organisms that cannot live in the presence of oxygen   obligate anaerobe  
🗑
occurs when a prokaryote takes in dna from the outside enviroment   transformation  
🗑
the process by which two prokaryotes bind together and one cell tranfers DNA to the other through a sex pilus   conjugation  
🗑
a virus obtains a small part of DNA from a host prokaryote   transduction  
🗑
pathology   pathology  
🗑
are toxic substances that bacteria secrete into their environment   exotoxin  
🗑
are toxins substances made of lipids and carbohydrates associated with the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria such as E.coli   endotoxin  
🗑
the evolution of populations of pathogenic bacteria that antibiotics are unable to kill   antibiotic resistance  
🗑


   

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.
