2 types of nucleic acids Correct Answers DNA and RNA
Acid Correct Answers substance added to water releases
hydrogen ions (H+)
Adenovirus Correct Answers are a group of viruses that can
infect the membranes (tissue linings) of the respiratory tract,
eyes, intestines, urinary tract, and nervous system. They account
for about 10% of fever-related illnesses and acute respiratory
infections in kids and are a frequent cause of diarrhea.
Agar Correct Answers cell wall component in seaweed
Alpha hemolysis Correct Answers incomplete lysis of red
blood cells
Amino Correct Answers acts as a base (NH2 or NH3+), found
in amino acids

Atom Correct Answers smallest unit of matter that retains the
properties of an element
Comprised of subatomic particles
Protons, neutrons, electrons
ATP: Energy Molecule Correct Answers Adenosine
Triphosphate
Adenine
Ribose
3 phosphate molecules
Releases energy when the bond is broken between the 2nd and
3rd phosphates
Base Correct Answers substance added water releases
hydroxyl ions (OH-) or binds to H+ removing them from
solution
Beta hemolysis Correct Answers complete lysis of red blood
cells
binomial system Correct Answers A combination of the genus
and species name
