Process where spore form changes into vegetative form when conditions improve.

Organelles that produce ATP, the energy currency of the cell.

Small RNA granules involved in protein synthesis, some are free, others attached to ER.

Network for synthesis and transport; has smooth (lipids) & rough (proteins) types.

Flat sacs that package and ship proteins and lipids from the ER.

Sacs filled with enzymes to digest waste and bacteria.

Process by which cells ingest harmful particles; performed by phagocytes.

Immunity produced by T-cells mainly against viruses and fungi.

Humoral immunity produced by B-cells mainly against bacteria.

Resident microorganisms that live in and on the body throughout a person's life.

Microorganisms that temporarily populate a host before disappearing.

Normal flora that cause disease when the balance is disrupted.

Transfer of pathogens through direct or indirect contact.

Spread of pathogens via respiratory droplets within 1 meter.

Pathogen spread through the air over distances greater than 1 meter.

Spread of pathogens through contaminated food.

Pathogen spread by animals, especially insects.

Using microorganisms to remove pollutants from the environment.

The study of organisms too small to see without magnification.

Tiny organisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa, and more.

Organisms with no nucleus, e.g., bacteria and archaea.

Organisms with a mature nucleus, e.g., fungi and algae.

The formal system of organizing and classifying living organisms.

The process where vegetative cells form highly resistant spores.
