- 2. Organisms that can live in the presence of gaseous oxygen.
- 6. A prokaryote that can be identified using the technique of gram staining.
- 9. Small DNA structures that replicate independently of the chromosomes in bacteria.
- 11. The process of making a protein.
- 12. Bacteria with a complex cell wall which is composed of a thin inner peptidoglycan cell wall as well as an outer membrane.
- 16. Process by which a new copy of a DNA molecule is made.geneticcode Rules by which the amino acid sequence of a protein chain is determined.
- 17. A semi-fluid substance apart of the cytoplasm.
- 19. Have a nucleus and discrete organelles; these cells make up the domains of plants, fungi, animals, and protists.

Down
- 1. Bacteria with a cell wall composed primarily composed of a thin peptidoglycan cell wall and lacking an outer membrane.
- 3. Procedure for bacteria used to distinguish cell walls of different structures.
- 4. The “nucleus” of prokaryotic cells; not enclosed in a membrane.
- 5. A protein shell that encloses the viral genome.
- 7. Small; lack the presence of a nucleus and discrete organelles; make up the domains Archaea and Bacteria.
