| 335721689 | Prokaryote | Single celled organism having a cell wall, a single chromosome of circular DNA, ribosomes, and a cytoplasm. | |
| 335721690 | binary fission | The four-step process by which prokaryotes reproduce. | |
| 335721691 | Eubacteria | One of the six kingdoms consisting of bacteria. | |
| 335721692 | Archaebacteria | One of the six kingdoms consisting of archaea. | |
| 335721693 | Bacilli | rod-shaped bacteria that have a large surface area which helps absorb nutirents. They can also dry out easily. | |
| 335721694 | Cocci | spherical-shaped bacteria that are more resistant to drying out than bacilli | |
| 335721695 | Spirilla | spiral-shaped bacteria that can move easily in a corkscrew manner using flagella at both ends. The least common shape of bacteria. | |
| 335721696 | consumer bacteria | bacteria that obtain nutrients from other organisms | |
| 335721697 | decomposer bacteria | recycling bacteria which feed on dead organic material breaking it down to release nutrients for other organisms. | |
| 335721698 | parasite bacteria | bacteria that invade the body of another organism to obtain food. Parasites damage their host. | |
| 335721699 | Six kingdoms | Protista Plantae Fungi Animalia Eubacteria Archaebacteria | |
| 335721700 | What three abilities do prokaryotes have that allow them to live independently? | they undergo cellular respiration they reproduce the move around | |
| 335721701 | What method do bacteria use to reproduce? | binary fission | |
| 335721702 | What are the four stages of binary fission? | cell grows DNA replicates & attaches to cell membrane cell grows larger & the 2 copies of DNA move away from each other cell splits into 2 exact copies | |
| 335721703 | What environment to most bacteria thrive in? | warm and moist | |
| 335721704 | Some bacteria can survive unfavorable conditions by forming what? | a thick, protective membrane. | |
| 335721705 | Bacteria that survive unfavorable conditions by forming a thick, protective membrane are called what? | endospore bacteria | |
| 335721706 | Some bacteria move around using what structure? | a flegellum | |
| 335721707 | Just like eukaryotic plant and fungus cells, what structure do bacteria have that give them shape & help protect them? | a cell wall | |
| 335721708 | Eubacteria that are producers contain what chemical? | chlorophyll | |
| 335721709 | What type of bacteria live mostly in water and are producers? | cyanobacteria | |
| 335721710 | What is lacking in the environments where archaebacteria live? | oxygen | |
| 335721711 | What are the specific places where archaebacteria have been found? | Deep beneath the snow in Antarctica, hot springs of Yellowstone National Park, miles below the earth's surface, Dead Sea, heat vents on the ocean floor, in swamps | |
| 335721712 | Why is it helpful to store food in the refrigerator or freezer? | Because the cold slows down reproduction of bacteria | |
| 335721713 | What characteristic of bacilli bacteria is both a help and a hindrance? | They have a large surface area, so they can take in more nutrients, but are more likely to dry out quickly. | |
| 335721714 | What characteristic of cocci bacteria is helpful? | Their surface area makes them less likely to dry out. | |
| 335721715 | What characteristic of spririlla is helpful? | Their corkscrew shape helps them move easily. | |
| 335721716 | In what ways are archaea different from bacteria? | Their cell walls are chemically different, they do not take in organic materials, not all have a cell wall. |
