Across
- 2. A long, whip like structure that helps a cell to move
- 3. Single celled organisms that lacks a nucleus; prokaryotes
- 6. The process of breaking down food to release its energy
- 7. A small, rounded, thick- walled resting cell that forms inside a bacterial cell
- 9. A poison that can harm an organism
- 10. An illness that can pass from one organism to another
- 13. A virus that infects bacteria
- 16. A tiny, nonliving particle that invades and then reproduces inside a living cell
- 18. The process in which a unicellular organism transfers some of its genetic material to another unicellular organism
- 19. A chemical that can kill bacteria without harming a person's cell
- 20. A reproductive process that involves only one parent and produces offspring that are identical to the parent
- 21. A process of heating food to a temperature that is high enough to kill most harmful bacteria without changing the taste of the food
Down
- 1. An organism that breaks down chemicals from dead organisms and returns important materials to the soil and water
- 4. The ability of bacteria to withstand the effects of an antibiotic
- 5. Tiny structure located in the cytoplasm of a cell where proteins are produced
- 8. A reproductive process that involves two parents that combine their genetic material to produce a new organism, which differs from both parent
- 11. A form of asexual reproduction in which one cell divides to form two identical cells
- 12. An organism that lives on or in a host and causes harm to the host
- 14. An organism that provides a source of energy or a suitable environment for a virus or another organism to live
- 15. The region of a cell located inside the cell membrane or between the cell membrane and nucleus; contains a gel like material and cell structure
- 17. A substance introduced into a body to stimulate the production of chemicals that destroy specific disease-causing viruses and organisms
