Across
- 6. used in motility (movement)
- 8. methane makers
- 10. nearly all bacteria.
- 13. the smallest organisms
- 15. beginning
- 17. (self-feeder) bacteria operate through photosynthesis like plants. They get sunlight for energy and CO2 for a carbon source.
- 20. duplicate of bacteria chromosome that may later develop into a bacterial cell.
- 21. chemical reactions using energy to grow, survive & reproduce
- 23. infectious agents, tightly folded strands of RNA, smaller than viruses. Cause many diseases in plants destroying millions of dollars’ worth of potato, citrus and other crop plants.
- 24. (identifying, naming and classifying)
- 25. gross damage to the plasma membrane, cell wall or both, allowing the cytoplasm to leak out resulting in cell death.
- 26. needs oxygen
Down
- 1. virus doesn’t take over or kill the host cell right away, but does begin to replicate.
- 2. small self-replicating extra DNA with a few genes.
- 3. enclosing the cell wall, helps this bacteria attach to teeth and other interesting surfaces and protects it from infection fighting cells.
- 4. the most common prokaryotic cells. (true bacteria)
- 5. heat lovers
- 7. infectious, disease causing.
- 9. bacteria that help provide food and oxygen.
- 11. salt lovers
- 12. may cause disease
- 14. no membrane-bound nucleus.
- 16. does not need oxygen
- 18. Damaged Small infectious proteins responsible for rare fatal diseases affecting the nervous system causing brain diseases that affect animals and humans.
- 19. die in presence of oxygen
- 22. ability to move
