  9. What is the outer capsule on a bacteria used for?
    protection
  10. What are flagella?
    whip-like protrusions that allow a bacteria to move
  11. What are archaebacteria?
    • ancient bacteria that live in extreme conditions
    • love high temperatures and acid
    • halophiles(salt)
    • methane gas(produce methanogens)
    • they usually do not need oxygen or are anaerobic
  12. What are eubacteria?
    • true bacteria that are found in diverse environments
    • most cell walls contain peptidoglycan(carbohydrates)
    • they form colonies or clumps or flaments
  13. Bacteria can be one or more of the following...
    • heterotrophs
    • autotrophs
    • -chemotrophs
    • -phototrophs
  14. Are viruses cells? Why not?
    Viruses are NOT cells because viruses do not grow and have no life span, viruses do not use energy, and viruses reproduce but only in other cells by using that cell's energy
  15. What are viruses made of?
    They are composed of a nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) and surrounded by a protein coat called a capsid. Some viruses also have additional viral envelopes.
  16. What is a capsid?
    A protein coat surrounding a virus
  17. What are the three possible shapes of a virus?
    • polyhedral
    • helical
    • spericle
  18. Viruses' _ allow them to attach only to specific cells. Thus, they can only infect certain organisms, some can affect several different speicies
    capsids

  21. What are the steps to the lytic cycle?
    • 1. Attachment
    • 2. Penetration
    • 3. Biosynthesis(replication)
    • 4. Maturation
    • 5. Release(lysis)
  22. What is different of the lysogenic cycle compared to the lysic cycle?
    the lysogenic cycle is the same as the lytic cycle exceot the viral DNA joins the host cell DNA
