transduction

The process of ___ occurs when a bacterium internalized bits of DNA from its environment

transformation

Endosymbiosis is the internalization of one species by a host species. According to the endosymbiotic hypothesis, internalized prokaryotes eventually evolved into eukaryotic organelles. (list steps)

1) Ancestral cell with nucleus and endomembrane system. 2) Oxygen metabolizing bacterium begins to be engulfed by ancestral cell. 3) Oxygen metabolizing bacterium is fully engulfed in the cell. 4) Photosynthetic prokaryote begins to be engulfed by ancestral cell. 5) Photosynthetic prokaryote is fully engulfed, resulting in a eukaryotic cell with organelles. (Ancestral prokaryotic cells evolved into the first eukaryotic cells through an inward folding of the plasma membrane and the engulfment and incorporation of other free-living prokaryotic cells. Those engulfed cells functioned as organelles that metabolize oxygen and photosynthesize.)

. Most bacteria (and many other single celled organisms) reproduce via ___ , the process of dividing a cell in half, yielding two genetically identical offspring cells.

binary fission

Fungicides are used to treat fungal diseases of plants. However, experts have warned gardeners that application of a fungicide can sometimes kill the plant as well as the fungal disease. Propose an explanation for how this might happen.

Fungicides might kill fungi that are part of the plant's mycorrhizae (Mycorrhizae are symbiotic relationships between a plant's roots and fungi. Plants depend on mycorrhizae to help provide water and nutrients.)

How did mitochondria and chloroplasts arise in eukaryotic cells?

A ___ is a virus that specifically infects bacteria

What is the primary component of fungal cell walls?

chitin (Chitin is a strong, flexible polysaccharide that is used as the structural material for fungal cell walls. Chitin also makes up the hard exoskeleton of insects.)

The process of ____ involves the building of a physical bridge between two bacteria. DNA then moves across this bridge from a donor cell to a recipient cell.

conjugation

What type of animal tissue contains blood, cartilage, and bone?

connective tissue (Connective tissue includes blood, bone, cartilage, adipose, and loose connective tissue.)

Which of the following is a fungus? a) yeast to make bread b) mushrooms c) truffles d) all are fungi
