Abiogenesis - Correct Answers-A="without"; bio="life"; genesis="beginning"
Beginning in absence of life. Embraces the idea of spontaneous generation.
Adenosine Tri-phosphate (ATP) - Correct Answers-Energy for life; the energy ALL living things run
on. This energy is manufactured in the mitochondria of cells during cellular respiration.
Agar - Correct Answers-Found in seaweed and commonly used to prepare solid culture media.
Alexander fleming - Correct Answers-Discovered penicillin. Also discovered that mold generated a
substance that kills bacteria
Amino acid - Correct Answers-Building blocks of protein
Antibodies - Correct Answers-Specialized proteins that aid in destroying infectious agents
Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek - Correct Answers-Invented the microscope, establishing that there is life
smaller than the eye can see. Father of microbiology. Scraped from his teeth to gather bacteria.
Aseptic - Correct Answers-Disinfection of the hands and the air with chemicals such as phenol.
Bacterium/ archaeon and eukaryote - Correct Answers-Cellular organisms
Binomial system - Correct Answers-Identifying organisms by their genus and species names
Biogenesis - Correct Answers-Beginning with life
Embracing that living things arise only from others of their same kind.
Bioremediation - Correct Answers-The use of organisms to detoxify and restore polluted and degraded
ecosystems.
Biotechnology - Correct Answers-The manipulation of living organisms or their components to
produce useful products.
Carbohydrates - Correct Answers-the starches and sugars present in foods
Monosaccharides, disaccharide and polysaccharides. Include glucose, fructose, maltose, lactose, sucrose
etc..
Cell membranes are composed of - Correct Answers-phospholipids and proteins
, Cellulose - Correct Answers-polysaccharide consisting of glucose monomers that reinforces plant-cell
walls. A long, fibrous polymer. One of the most common substances on earth.
Chitin - Correct Answers-Polysaccharide found in arthropod exoskeletons and fungal cell walls.
Tough outer shell
Cholesterol - Correct Answers-Group of lipids called steroids. Commonly found in cell membranes
and animal hormones
Classification - Correct Answers-Remember: Dina's kids prefer candy over fresh green spinach
Domain. Kingdom. Phylum. Class. Order. Family. Genus. Species.
Cysteine - Correct Answers-A nonessential amino acid that is related to the essential amino acid
cystine
Enzyme - Correct Answers-a substance produced by a living organism that acts as a catalyst to bring
about a specific biochemical reaction.
Eukaryotic cell - Correct Answers-Contains a nucleus
Ferdinand Cohn - Correct Answers-discovered endospores and clarified that heat would sometimes
fail to completely eliminate all microorganisms.
Five major taxonomic units or kingdoms - Correct Answers-the monera, protists, plants, fungi, and
animals
Four types of nitrogen bases found in DNA - Correct Answers-Adenine, guanine, thymine, and
cytosine.
Fructose - Correct Answers-fruit sugar
Genetic engineering - Correct Answers-Manipulating the genetics of microbes, plants and animals to
create new products. Called GMO's
Glucose - Correct Answers-the form of sugar that circulates in the blood and provides the major
source of energy for body tissues. When its level is low, we feel hunger.
Glycerol - Correct Answers-A three-carbon alcohol to which fatty acids are covalently bonded to
make fats and oils.
Glycocalyx - Correct Answers-a bacterial capsule that is made of a fuzzy coat of sticky sugars
Helminths - Correct Answers-Multicellular animals whose mature form is visible to the naked eye.
Hexose - Correct Answers-6 carbon sugar such as glucose and fructose
Hydrophilic - Correct Answers-Water loving
Hydrophobic - Correct Answers-Water fearing
