- 5. - One of the two cycles of viral reproduction, the other being the lytic cycle.
- 9. - Depends on aerobic respiration and uses oxygen as a terminal electron acceptor.
- 11. - A heterotroph is an organism that cannot produce its own food, instead taking nutrition from other sources of organic carbon, mainly plant or animal matter.
- 13. - One of the two cycles of viral reproduction, the other being the lysogenic cycle.
- 15. - A microscopic single-celled organism
- 17. - Surrounds the plasma membrane of plant cells.
- 18. - Microorganisms that are similar to bacteria in size and simplicity of structure but radically different in molecular organization.

Down
- 1. - The injection machinery is responsible for recognizing and puncturing the bacterial host and transferring the viral genome into the host during infection.
- 2. - A bacterium found mainly in vertebrates' intestines and the soil.
