| 6440787638 | flagellum | whiplike structure outside of cell used for movement |  | 16 |
| 6440787639 | pili | thin, short numerous projections that help prokaryotes stick to surfaces and each other, which is important for reproduction | 17 | |
| 6440787640 | cell wall | protects the cell and gives shape |  | 18 |
| 6440787641 | plasma membrane | regulates movement of materials into and out of the cell | 19 | |
| 6440787642 | cytoplasm | contains DNA, ribosomes, and organic compounds required to carry out life processes |  | 20 |
| 6440787643 | ribosomes | site where proteins are made |  | 21 |
| 6440787644 | DNA | carries genetic info inherited from past generations | 22 | |
| 6440787645 | endospore | thick protective wall that protects the cell against harsh environmental conditions, such as heat or drought | 23 | |
| 6440787646 | capsule | layer of polysaccharide and protein that protects the cell from white blood cells; often toxic to host organisms; makes it difficult to treat infections with antibiotics | 24 | |
| 6440787647 | binary fission | prokaryotic asexual reproduction | 25 | |
| 6440787648 | conjugation | exchange of genetic material through a hollow bridge of pili connecting 2 or more cells | 26 | |

| 6440787651 | prokaryotes roles in ecosystems | principle decomposer recycler of carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, and sulfur photosynthesizers nitrogen fixers bioremediaters - process that uses microbes and other living things to break down pollutants | 29 | |
| 6440787652 | tuberculosis | bacteria invade host tissues and use them for nutrients. mycobacterium tuberculosis | 30 | |
| 6440787653 | food poisoning | stapylococcus aureus - normally live in nasal passages clostridium botulinum - cases botulism which can be deadly due to the toxin produced by the bacteria | 31 | |
| 6440787654 | opportunistic infections | normally harmless bacteria can be destructive when introduced to a part of the host that is not adapted to them | 32 | |
| 6440787655 | antibiotics | chemical that kills or slows the growth of bacteria, often by stopping bacteria from making cell walls | 33 | |
| 6440787656 | gram stain | method of using stain to tell two groups of bacteria within kingdom bacteria apart. this was an important technique developed which is helpful in not only diagnosing bacterial infection, but also in determining the antibiotic that the doctor uses to treat the infection | 34 | |
