enSCOrigin of life n stuff14
Pathogen : an organism that causes disease, and infectious agent
Bacteria : small, single celled organism that usually has a cell wall, and usually reproduces by cell division
Virus : a non-living, infectious particle composed of a nucleic acid and a protein coat; it can invade and destroy a cell
Antibiotic Resistance : the ability of microbes to grow in the presence of a chemical (drug) that would normally kill them or limit their growth.
Cyanobacteria : Bacteria that carry out photosynthesis
Endosymbiosis: A mutually beneficial relationship in which one organism lives within another
Photosynthesis : the process where plants, algae, and some bacteria use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to produce carbohydrates, and oxygen
Evolution : the process where inherited characteristics within populations change over time
Natural selection : The process by which individuals that are better adapted to their environment survive and reproduce more successfully than less well adapted individuals do
Adaptation : a trait that improves an organism’s ability to survive and reproduce
Homologous Structures : a trait that is shared by a group of species because it is inherited from a common ancestor
Analogous structures : pertain to the various structures in different species having the same function but have evolved separately, thus do not share common ancestor.
Biochemical Similarities : similarities involving chemical processes in living organisms
Fossils : the trace or remains of an organism that lived long ago, most commonly preserved in sedimentary rock
