20. – 21. Describe the two ways that bacteria are classified
By gram stain…Gram positive have simple
cell walls, Gram negative have complex cell
walls.
By shape….round, rod or spiral…and group
cluster or strips
22. - 23. Name two good things and two bad things that bacteria do for/to us.
Make food for us (cheese, yogurt), create
medicines, digest waste
Cause diseases, spoil food

34. – 35. Are viruses alive? Explain why/why not.
No…can’t reproduce (on own), can’t
metabolize (make/use energy), can’t grow, can’t
perform homeostasis
36. – 37. What is the difference between the lytic and lysogenic cycles for viruses?
Lytic: nucleic acids enter cell, cell makes
new phages, which burst out and kill the cell
(virulent), fast
Lysenogenic: viral nucleic acids become part
of host genome (genes), enters lytic cycle later
(temperate), slow
38. – 39. Name two ways to control viral disease.
Vaccines…prevent before it spreads by
“priming” body’s immune system
Antiviral drugs…there are a few, but antibiotics
DO NOT WORK against viruses
Control the vector…whatever is spreading it
