Viruses, Bacteria, Protists, and Fungi

The genetic material of a virus is found in its

• coat

• core

• coat and core

• nucleus

A virus's proteins are important because they

• contain genetic material

• make new virus particles

• provide energy for the virus

• help the virus attach to its host

Which shape describes some bacterial cells?

• cube-shaped

• bullet-shaped

• spiral

• robotlike

What process results in genetically different bacteria?

• binary fission

• respiration

• conjugation

• asexual reproduction

Viruses are considered to be nonliving because they

• cannot multiply

• use energy to grow

• are smaller than bacteria

• do not show all the characteristics of life

What characteristic do all algae share?

• they are autotrophs

• they are unicellular

• they are multicellular

• they live in colonies

Like animals, animal-like protists are

• autotrophs

• heterotrophs

• unicellular

• prokaryotes

Club fungi are named for

• their food source

• their movements

• where they live

• the appearance of their reproductive structures

How are fungus-like protists similar to fungi

• they are unable to move

• they are autotrophs

• they use spores to reproduce

• they do not have cell walls

The spores that fungus-like protists produce

• grow into new organisms

• produce slime on which the protist can move

• break down food for the protist

• form pseudopods
