resemble plants but contain no chlorophyll is called:
⩥ Mycology. Answer: The study of fungi is called:
⩥ Parasitology. Answer: The study of organisms that are dependent upon
living things for their sustenance is called:
⩥ Prokaryotic. Answer: Bacteria are considered to be:
⩥ Pathogens. Answer: Microorganisms that cause disease are called:
⩥ Genus (capitalized and italicized) and Species (lower case and
italicized). Answer: Bacteria have a two-part name. Which of the
following shows the correct way of showing the genus and species of
bacteria?
,⩥ Chlamydia. Answer: Which term best represents obligate intracellular
parasites that divide by binary fission?
⩥ Virus. Answer: Which term best represents the smallest infectious
agent. These are obligate intracellular organisms that reproduce by
replication in the host?
⩥ Fungi. Answer: Which term best represents plant-like structures that
lack chlorophyll and cannot carry on photosynthesis or produce their
