Term
The Lytic Cycle
Definition
Adsorption, Entry, Replication, Assembly, and Release.
Term
Entry
Definition
The virus releases an enzyme that weakens the cell membrane to inject its nucleic acid into the host.
Term
Adsorption
Definition
The virus attaches itself to a host (living) cell.
Term
Replication
Definition
The viral nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) directs the cell nucleic acid to produce viral proteins.
Term
Assembly
Definition
The viral proteins made during replication are then assembled to make viral clones of the original virus.
Term
Release
Definition
Viral enzymes eat at the cells membrane from within causing it to lyse(loosen) releasing the newly formed viral clones that will search for a new host cell to infect.
Term
Virus
Definition
Nonliving particle made up RNA or DNA core, surrounded by a protein coat called a capsid.
Term
Dichotomous Key
Definition
A written set of choices that leads to the name of a particular organism or object.
Term
Temperate Virus
Definition
A non-disease causing virus
Term
Virulent/Pathogenic Virus
Definition
A disease causing virus (HIV, mumps, influenza/flu, cold, polio, small pox, rabies, chicken pox, rubella, yellow fever, infectious hepatitis...)
Term
Phylogeny
Definition
The evolutionary history of an organism.
Term
taxonomy/Systematics
Definition
The science of grouping organisms based on structural and chemical similarities.
Term
Binomial Nomenclature
Definition
A two name, naming system. Devised by carolus Linnaeus.
Term
Coccus

Circular
Term
Bacillus
Definition
Oval
Term
Spirilli
Definition

Term
Staphlo
Definition
clusters of cells
Term
Strepto
Definition

Term
Nutrition
Definition
How and what monerans eat
Term
Heterotrophs
Definition
get their nutrition from others.
Term
Autotrophs
Definition
provide their own form of energy
Term
Respiration
Definition
utilization of energy
Term
Obligate Aerobes
Definition
Must live in the presence of oxygen
Term
Obligate Anaerobes
Definition
must live without the presence of oxygen
Term
Facultative Anaerobes
Definition
can live with or without the presence of oxygen
Term
Binary Fission (mitosis)
Definition
Asexual form of reproduction in which the offspring are identical to the parent cell.
Term
Conjugation
Definition
sexual form of reproduction in which bacteria exchange DNA to form offspring that are not identical to the parent.
