Biology Week 10 Chapter 13

Bacterial infections can be treated with this

• antibiotic drug

• endospore

• biofilm

• Archaea

Spores formed for survival, form inside prokaryotic cells when they are under stress, may survive for long periods of time

• biofilm

• endospore

• genetic transfer

• extremophile

Colony of prokaryotes that is stuck to a surface

• Archaea

• genetic transfer

• biofilm

• plasmid

NGSS.HS-LS2-6

Domain, prokaryotes, adapted to live in extreme environments, peptidoglycan absent in most, introns present

• biofilm

• Archaea

• plasmid

• vector

A way prokaryotes increase genetic variation, “grab” pieces of DNA from environment or cells directly exchange DNA with other cells

• endospore

• Archaea

• genetic transfer

• genetic transfer

“lovers of extremes”

• extremophile

• Archaea

• flagella

• vector

Bluish green color, contain chlorophyll, probably responsible for adding oxygen to the air on early Earth

• extremophile

• Archaea

• cyanobacteria

• vector

Small circular pieces of DNA

• plasmid

• genetic transfer

• extremophile

• Bacteria

NGSS.HS-LS3-2

Domain, prokaryotes, peptidoglycan present, introns absent in most

• Bacteria

• extremophile

• Archaea

• vector

Misuse and overuse of drugs have led to bacterial resistance making infections difficult to treat

• genetic transfer

• extremophile

• antibiotic resistance

• flagella
