Lytic Cycle
Hijacking/Producing more viruses - causing cell to burst
Lysogenic Cycle
Integrates genetic material into host genome - Remains dormant until triggered
Virus
Nonliving particles that depend on host cell to reproduce - contain DNA or RNA
Bacteria
Organisms that reproduce independently/ Binary Fission
Binary Fission
Asexual reproduction by separation of the body into two new cells
Conjugation
Transfering genetic material through direct contact
Robert Koch
Germ Theory
Prokaryotes
No nucleus - Cyanobacteria first cell on earth to photosynthesize
Eukaryotes
Nucleus - with organelles
Antibiotic Resistance
Bacteria evolve mechanisms to withstand drugs that would normally kill them
Skin and Mucous Membranes
physical barriers.
Fever or Inflammation
Immune responses that help fight infection
Antibody Production
Neutralize pathogens
Capsules
Large structure
Cell Wall
Surrounds every plant cell
Pili
Hair like cell surface
