Lytic Cycle

Hijacking/Producing more viruses - causing cell to burst

Lysogenic Cycle

Integrates genetic material into host genome - Remains dormant until triggered

Virus

Nonliving particles that depend on host cell to reproduce - contain DNA or RNA

Bacteria

Organisms that reproduce independently/ Binary Fission

Binary Fission

Asexual reproduction by separation of the body into two new cells

Conjugation

Transfering genetic material through direct contact

Robert Koch

Germ Theory

Prokaryotes

No nucleus - Cyanobacteria first cell on earth to photosynthesize

Eukaryotes

Nucleus - with organelles

Antibiotic Resistance

Bacteria evolve mechanisms to withstand drugs that would normally kill them

Skin and Mucous Membranes

physical barriers.

Fever or Inflammation

Immune responses that help fight infection

Antibody Production

Neutralize pathogens

Capsules

Large structure

Cell Wall

Surrounds every plant cell

Pili

Hair like cell surface
