Which type of organism will form endospores when faced with unfavorable environmental conditions?
BACTERIA
Which statement is true about bacteria?
THEY CONTAIN SINGLE CIRCULAR DNA MOLECULES FOR THEIR GENETIC MATERIAL
Bacterial cells pick up free pieces of DNA from the medium-pieces that were released from dead bacteria-in a process called
TRANSFORMATION
One bacterial cell passes DNA to a second cell in the process of

Which type of sexual exchange occurs among bacteria in which DNA is carried into a bacterial cell by means of a bacteriophage?
TRANSDUCTION
A new classification by domains separates traditional bacteria into
ARCHAEA AND BACTERIA
Which type of prokaryotes are able to live in the most extreme environments?
ARCHAEA

Which of the following is considered to be noncellular?
VIRUSES
Which of these is the most accurate description of a virus?
CHEMICAL COMPLEX OF RNA AND DNA PROTECTED BY A PROTEIN
The innermost core of a virus's structure is made up of
RNA OR DNA
Which of the following is NOT true about viruses?
VIRUSES DO NOT HAVE ORGANELLES, THEY HAVE RNA OR DNA AND A PROTEIN COAT AND THAT’S IT
The capsid of a virus is composed of
PROTEIN
Some, but not all, viruses contain ______, located on their outer surface
MEMBRANE ENVELOPE
In order to infect a cell, a virus must
VIRUSES GET INTO HOST CELLS VIA A PROTEIN, CALLED A RECEPTOR. THE PROTEIN MUST BE LOCK AND KEY TO PROTEIN TO INFECTING
Which stage of viral reproduction takes place when the spikes of the virus bind to a specific receptor molecule on the surface of a host cell?
CALLED THE ATTACHMENT STAGE
Viruses are
SMALLER THAN BACTERIA

THE ASSEMBLY STAGE
Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of a virus?
DISEASES CAUSED BY VIRUSES CANNOT BE TREATED WITH ANTIBIOTICS. ONLY BE PREVENTED WITH VACCINATION.
Which statement is NOT true about a retrovirus?
RETROVIRUSES DO NOT CONTAIN DNA, ONLY RNA
When an enveloped animal virus enters a cell, then
THE PROTEIN CAPSID IS REMOVED
Naked strands of RNA not covered by a capsid are
CALLED VIROIDS
Some human diseases appear to be due to protein agents that may convert other proteins in the cell to also become these agents; this new disease protein agent is called a(n)
PRION
Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) or "mad cow disease" is caused by a(n)
PRION
A virus cycle that includes the
REPLICATING AND BURSTING OF THE HOST CELL IS CALLED THE LYTIC CYCLE
A virus cycle were the virus places its genetic material into the host DNA
IS CALLED A LYSOGENIC CYCLE
