Bacteria/Viruses

2. viruses that can force a cell to transcribe its RNA into the cell's DNA.
4. Archaea which is found in toxic places where oxygen is scarce (some swamps)
5. the protein in cell walls of bacteria that protects them and triggers the immune system
10. as well are decomposers in the body and other organisms that breaks down dead material/cells
13. type of Archaea which lives in boiling environments
14. the process in which a virus infects a cell but does not destroy it which causes multiplication of the infected cell
15. the structure of bacteria which is strands and unattached
17. the rapid infection of one cell which destroys it and spreads virus particles
19. common form of reproduction in bacteria that is asexual
20. the tube-like area in a prokaryotic cell which is a passageway for bacteria

1. habitat of bacteria which is not visible to the eye (DNA collected)
3. (roots back to the Greek prefix) found in salty oceans which is saltier than surrounding waters
6. the non-membrane-bound region in bacteria that contains most of the genetic material
7. a transfer of genetic information from the nucleoid from one bacteria to another
8. prokaryotes that can act as decomposers in extreme environments
9. a carrier of genetic information which is infectious and multiplies with living hosts
11. exterior covers that protect bacteria from drying out
12. the last structure of bacteria which is tube-like and unorganized (sometimes in clumps)
16. the first archaea ever discovered where much acidic action occurs (also in heat)
18. bacteria shape that is often in clumps together
