Bacteria are usually larger than viruses

Viruses that target bacteria are known as:

Bacteriophages

Which of the following is a characteristic of fungi?

Cell wall made of CHITIN

Virus structure

Contains genetic material either DNA or RNA, and a protein coat.

By analyzing DNA, scientists have hypothesized that _____ are evolutionary ancestors of plant-like protists such as red and green algae.

Cyanobacteria

Scientists hypothesize that the evolutionary ancestor of both plants and fungi were:

Protists

Looking through a microscope at a drop of pond water, you see a unicellular organism with a nucleus and chloroplasts. It is most likely a(n):

Protophyta

Which of the following correctly pairs the name with the shape?

Rod-shape: bacillus

Which is a step in the lytic life cycle of a virus?

the host cell explodes

stages of lytic cycle

1) Attachment: Virus infects host cell 2) Penetration: Virus takes over cell functions 3) Biosynthesis: Virus commands host cell to make copies of virus 4) Maturation: Host cell bursts releasing new viruses to infect other cells 5) Release: Some bacteria use restrict. enzymes

What is a virus?

A tiny, nonliving, particle that enters and reproduces inside a living cell.

Lysogenic cycle

A viral reproductive cycle in which the viral DNA is added to the host cell's DNA and is copied along with the host cell's DNA.

Which of the following is a way scientists classify, or organize, viruses?

ALL answers are correct: by who they infect by the shape of their capsid by how they replicate

Of the following, which group(s) of protists is(are) heterotrophs?

Animal-like and Fungus-like

When antibiotics no longer effectively treat a bacterial infection, it is known as:

Antibiotic resistance

Which kingdom contains the oldest known organism found on earth?

Archaebacteria

What is nucleic acid?

DNA and RNA

All of the following can make up a virus, except:

EXCEPT: Cells MAKE UP A VIRUS: envelope capsid nucleic acid

Which of the following correctly pairs the type of protist with the primary source of nutrition?

Fungus-like: absorption

Which of the following CORRECTLY pairs the group of archaebacteria with the environment in which the group lives?

Halophiles: the Great Salt Lake

Which of the following is NOT a disease caused by bacteria?

NOT CAUSED BY BACTERIA: The common cold CAUSED BY BACTERIA: Tuberculosis Cholera Bubonic plague

Which of the following is not a characteristic of all prokaryotes?
