capsule

Front

2 basic types of bacteria encapsulated - has capsule nonencapsulated - doesn't have capsule

Back

Bacilli

Front

Back

Heleminths

Front

Not microscopic but are parasitic Multicellular, eukaryotic Range from very small to meters in length 3 stage life cycle: ovum/egg, larvae, adult Usually in intestine, but can inhabit lung or blood vessels during part of life cycle

Back

Flagella

Front

A long, whip-like filament that helps in cell motility. Many bacteria are flagellated, and sperm are flagellated.

Back

Prions

Front

No nucleic acid or capsids Made of protein particles that have folded incorrectly Attacks the central nervous system

Back

Pili

Front

Appendages that allow bacteria to attach to each other and to transfer DNA

Back

Virsus

Front

Acellular (not alive) and consist of DNA or RNA core surrounded by protein coat that may also have a lipid coat; only replicated when living in host cells

Back

bennifacal Bacteria

Front

The human intestinal tract contains millions of bacteria Many of these bacteria help the digestive process and others produce vitamins The "microbiome" is a big area of research right now

Back

structure of bacteria

Front

Back

staphylo

Front

Back

lytic cycle

Front

a viral reproductive cycle in which copies of a virus are made within a host cell, which then bursts open, releasing new viruses

Back

cell wall

Front

Two main Gram positive Gram negative

Back

Bacteria

Front

(microbiology) single-celled or noncellular spherical or spiral or rod-shaped organisms lacking chlorophyll that reproduce by fission can be found on water and land

Back

strepto

Front

Back

Gram postive

Front

Cell wall is thick (Thick peptidogylcan layer) murien Old name for pepti..

Back

fungi bacteria

Front

Single celled yeasts Multi-cellular molds Eukaryotic Growth promoted by warmth & moisture Multicellular fungi have long filaments called hyphae which form a mass called a mycelium

Back

Cocci

Front

Back

Glycocalyx

Front

The external surface of a plasma membrane that is important for cell-to-cell communication

Back

Protoza

Front

Eukaryotic, unicellular, no cell wall May live independently or be parasitic Pathogenic when parasitic

Back

diplo

Front

Back

Sprilla

Front

Back

gram negative

Front

Describing the group of bacteria that have a cell wall that is structurally more complex and contains less peptidoglycan than the cell wall of gram-positive bacteria. Gram-negative bacteria are often more toxic than gram-positive bacteria.

Back

harmful bacteria

Front

Many bacteria are pathogenic A pathogen is an organism that causes disease and/or infection Some bacterial diseases of humans are tuberculosis, tetanus, and strep throat

Back

Pathogen

Front

a bacterium, virus, or other microorganism that can cause disease.

Back

Plasmids (bacteria)

Front

Small loop of additional dna outside of the main chromosome Several dozen plasmids may be found
