The iCHIP allows scientists to:
grow bacteria in the natural environment.
grow large numbers of a bacterial species and harvest large amounts of antibiotic.
grow viruses effectively.
grow a single diverse biofilm to later be tested in the lab.
Punctate, errose, lobate, dry, convex, swarming, yellow, and circular are all terms that describe:
anabolism
cellular morphology
colonial morphology
catabolism
An endospore is a part of certain types of bacteria.
What does an endospore do for a cell - there may be more than one answer to this one.
Acts as a seed or hibernating thing so that the bacteria can wait for better conditions.
Makes the cell less infectious.
Allows the bacteria to survive dry conditions.
Allows the bacteria to survive high temperatures.

- Strepto-and Staphylo- are prefixes that describe: Ocell arrangement virulence spore location morphologyarrow_forwardENDOSYMBIOTIC THEORY is the evolution theory that includes a larger and one smaller cell. The larger cell act as a host and the smaller cell is called the endosymbiont that is engulfed by the host cell. The larger cell referred to eukaryotic cell and the smaller cell represent prokaryotic cell. BIOMOLECULE, also called biological molecule, any of numerous substances that are produced by cells and living organisms. Biomolecules have a wide range of sizes and structures and perform a vast array of functions. The four major types of biomolecules are carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and proteins.

- What is the difference between bacteria and viruses? Bacteria are non-living pieces of DNA or RNA; viruses are single-celled organisms Viruses are killed by antibiotics; bacteria are killed by probiotics Bacteria are harmful and are the cause of major human diseases; viruses are often helpful and can kill harmful bacteria Bacteria are single-celled organisms capable of survival and reproduction on their own; viruses cannot survive and replicate without a host cellarrow_forwardWHICH ORGANISM CAN MOST LIKELY BE CLASSIFIED IN THE DOMAIN BACTERIA?
