10 Bacteria - Answer -For every cell in the human body there are...
1st stage - Answer -Stage of v.r. in which the virus attaches to the host; attachment.
2nd stage - Answer -Stage of v.r. in which the virus penetrates the cell and releases its DNA;
penetration.
3rd stage - Answer -Stage or v.r. in which the host transcribes and translates viral DNA as if it were
its own; synthesis.
4th stage - Answer -Stage of v.r. in which new viruses assemble; assembly.
5th stage - Answer -Stage of v.r. in which viruses leave the cell; release.
60 - Answer -Number of roundworms species that parasitize humans.
Aerial hyphae - Answer -Above the plate; contains sexual/asexual spores.
Algae - Answer -Photosynthetic eukaryotes; can be uni- or multicellular. Cell walls composed of
cellulose. Require light, water & CO2 for food production. Produce O2 & carbohydrates.
Ameboid - Answer -Protozoa that produce extensions known as pseudopods, which are important
in locomotion and capturing food.
Animals - Answer -Fungi are the closest relatives of the...
Antibiotics - Answer -Chemicals produced by bacteria and fungi that inhibit or kill other microbes.
Apicomplexans - Answer -Non-motile protozoa; spore forming internal parasites of animals.
Arbuscules - Answer -Structures where the fungus exchanges minerals and nutrients with the
plant root (glomeromycetes).
Archaea - Answer -Single-celled prokaryotes that lack peptidoglycan (and often have
pseudomurein) in their cell walls; generally live in extreme environments.
Ascomycetes - Answer -Large group containing fungi with various lifestyles. (Sac fungi)
Autotroph - Answer -Uses CO2 as principle carbon source.
Bacillus - Answer -Rod-shaped
, Bacteria - Answer -Relatively simple, single-celled organisms with peptidoglycan in their cell walls;
prokaryotes.
Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya - Answer -3 domains
Basidiomycetes - Answer -Mushrooms and puffballs.
Binary fission - Answer -Prokaryotes reproduce by...
Biofilms - Answer -Masses of microbes attached to solid surfaces.
Biogenesis - Answer -Hypothesis that living organisms arise from preexisting life.
Brown algae - Answer -Multicellular algae, includes kelp.
Cell Theory - Answer -All living things are composed of cells and come from preexisting cells.
Cell wall - Answer -Gives prokaryotic cells their shape.
Cellular slime molds - Answer -Live as haploid cells until resources dry up. They then aggregate
into mobile slug, then a fruiting body which produces spores.
Cestodes - Answer -Flatworms
Chemotherapy - Answer -Treatment with chemicals.
Chloroplasts - Answer -Organelles that conduct photosynthesis; originated from photosynthetic
bacteria (cyanobacteria).
Cilliates - Answer -Complex, mostly unicellular protozoa characterized by abundant hairlike cilia
which propel the organism and sweep food into the cell. Not many cause disease.
Coccus - Answer -Spherical.
Complex virus - Answer -Viruses with complicated structures; for example, bacteriophages.
Conidia - Answer -Asexual spores; produced by hyphae via mitosis.
Diatoms - Answer -Unicellular algae with silica cell walls. Abundant in moist habitats and have cool
shapes.
Dikaryotic stage - Answer -A stage of some fungi in which there are two genetically unique nuclei;
each has one set of chromosomes.
Dinoflagellates - Answer -Unicellular algae with two flagella; often produce toxins (causes red
tide).
Domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species - Answer -Taxonomic hierarchy.
Edward Jenner - Answer -Used orphan boy, gave cowpox, boy developed disease and recovered
and was then given smallpox and determined to be immune.
