sterilization : These techniques rely on extreme temperatures or chemical action to destroy bacteria.
spirillum : A corkscrew-shaped bacterium
lysis : Viral particles break open cells by the process of _____
vaccine : Part of a virus that has been killed or attenuated used to prevent viral infection
antibiotic : Compound that blocks the growth and reproduction of bacteria
cocci : Sphere-shaped bacterium
bacilli : Rod-shaped bacterium
bacteriophage : A virus that infects bacteria
pathogen : Disease-causing agent
lytic : Type of viral infection in which the host cell bursts and is destroyed
flagellum : A structure prokaryotes use to propel themselves
lysogenic : Type of infection in which a host cell makes copies of the virus indefinitely
chemoautotroph : Organism that obtains energy directly from inorganic molecules
photoheterotroph : Is photosynthetic, but also requires organic compounds for nutrition
prion : An infectious particle made of protein rather than DNA or RNA
virus : Is composed of a core of DNA or RNA surrounded by a protein coat
prokaryotic : Single-celled type of microorganism that lacks a nucleus
conjugation : How bacteria exchange genetic material
binary : Bacteria may reproduce by this type of fission
capsid : Outer protein coat of a virus
endospore : Protective capsule that can remain dormant until favorable conditions for growth arise
fixation : The process of converting nitrogen into a form that plants can use is known as nitrogen ________.
retrovirus : A virus that stores its genetic information as RNA
photoautotroph : A prokaryote that carries out photosynthesis
