biology
mushrooms found in the grocery stores are known as
Agaricus bisporis
there are 5 steps in the cycle of lytic viral replication. they are listed in the order they occur.....
Attachment, Penetration, Uncoating, Replication, Release
penicillium chrysogenum is a fungi that produces an
antibiotic
asexual reproduction in which the parent cell separates in two is known as
binary fission
lyme disease is caused by bacteria called
borrelia burgdorferi
the useful substance, align, comes from
brown algae
a bacteria culture will stain Gram-positive if it has high concentration of peptidoglycan in the
cell wall
fungi have the presence of chitin in their cell walls, this is one of the reasons scientist do not
classify fungi as plants
sexual reproduction in some protozoans is known as
conjugation
when the receptor site of the virion and the viral attachment protein of the host cell match up, the virion is able to recognize the
correct host cell
a pathogen is an organism or substance that causes
disease
through the process of viral budding a host cell releases viruses that typically have a lipid covering called a
envelope
through the processes of bacterial conjugation, transduction and trandformation, bacteria share
genetic material
a plant or an animal (even a person) that supports a parasite is called a
host
when something is motile, it can move
independently
the red tide off the coast of Florida , is caused by a dinoflagellate known as
karenia brevis
halophiles live in the Dead Sea, they are members of the
kingdom Archaea
anaerobic environements are just right for methanogens to
live in
the process of a cell rupturing is known as
lysis
if peptidoglycan is found in the bacteria cell wall, it will result gram-positive stain. the peptidoglycan is the material that forms a
molecular bases for it
all members of the kingdom eubacteria are
prokaryotic
rickettsia and viruses are examples of obligate intracellular parasites that must have a host cell in which to
reproduce
a virus is not a eukaryote or a prokaryote, a virus needs a host cell so it can
reproduce inside it
a diatoms tiny exoskeleton is mostly composed of
silicon
fermentation is when the complex molecules breakdown into
simpler ones
hyphae are thread like structures found in multicellular fungi, they group together to form mycelia to perform
special functions
when there is a mutually positive arrangement between species, it is known as
symbiosis
living on the human skin are these microorganisms called
normal flora
when potatoes experience "late blight", it is due to the water mold known as
phytophthera infestans
if someone gets malaria, it is probably due to a protozoan called
plasmodium vivax
a viroid is a pathogenic
RNA molecule
the ability of a virus to cause a disease is known as its
virulence
homeostasis is a self-regulating process that maintains
water levels
