Microbio Topic A/2.1

Organism

Cant be seen by unaided eye

Germ

Rapidly growing cell

Is a virus a microorganism or a cell?

Microorganism

What are some ways microbes can have an effect on our lives?

Decompose organic waste , produce industrial chemicals, produce fermented foods, and or be utilized in manufacturing

Understanding microbiology can allow us to?

Prevent food spoilage, prevent disease occurrence, and learn as well as apply aseptic techniques to prevent contamination in medicine and in microbio laboratories.

What are the Domains of life?

Bacteria, Archea, and Eukarya

When referring to organisms what two names are utilized in reference to it?

Genus, and specific epithet

Archaea

Unicellular organisms that dont have a nucleus or cell walls reproduce via binary fission and live in extreme environments'

Bacteria

Live in our environment, reproduce via binary fission and CONTAIN cell walls (Peptidoglycan) For energy use inorganic/organic chemicals or photosynthesis

Fungi

Eukaryotes, chitin walls, and both reproductive systems as well as utilizing organic substances for energy aditionally yeast are unicellular

Protozoa

(Early Animal) Eukaryotes, protists , absorb or ingest organic chemicals

Algae

Eukaryotes, Protists, cellulose cell walls

Viruses

Acellular, consist of DNA or RNA core with the core surrounded by a protein coat , Only replicated when they are in a living host cell

Multicellular Animal Parasites

Eukaryotes, Multicellular animals and parasitic worms

Cell theory

All living things are made of cells, and cells are the most basic unit of life as well as cells must come from other cells

Resolution

Being able to differentiate that 2 different objects, are indeed 2 different objects

Resolution

Cant shorten wavelength of light because UV is not seen by human eyes

Light Microscope

One lens , magnifying power up to 40x

Compound microscope

Two lenses , objective and ocular

Electron microscopes

Utilize refracted light to magnify object

What are the types of electron microscopes

scanning and transmission

Biogenisis

Theory that life came from pre existing life

Spontaneous life theory

Hypothesis that living organisms arise from nonliving matter

What is a vaccination?

Weakened version of viruses injected into ourselves to produce antibodies

Bioremidation

Bacteria Degrade or detoxify pollutants such as oil and mercury

What did the nutrient broth experiment prove

Life does not spontaneously appear rather pre existing life creates it

What is recombinant DNA technology?

Techniques in which bacteria/fungi produce a variety of proteins including vaccines and enzymes

Normal Microbiota

Microbes present in/on the human body

What do normal microbiota do?

Prevent growth of pathogens/ produce growth factors as well as facillitate resistance factors
additionally create biofilms which are microbes attached to solid surfaces and grow into masses

Influenza A virus

Primarily in waterflow/poultry

West Nile Encephalitis

West nile virus that creates a severe flu which has the transmission from mosquitos who bit birds

Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy

Caused By infectious proteins (prions) from cattle that have been fed sheep

Escherichia Colli 0157:H7

leading cause of diarrhea worldwide

Ebola Hemorrhagic fever

Ebola virus that causes fever, hemorrhaging and blood clotting

Crytposporidiosis

Causes 30% of Diarrheal illness in developing countries

Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (Aids)

causes by Hiv, sexual transmitted infection

Zika

flu like cold that can be passed from a pregnant women to a fetus causing severe birth defects

Chikungunya virus

Virus that collects itself in the joints causing severe pain lasting possibly years after infection

Human EEE

Most common around freshwater hardwood swamps

Microbiome

Organisms in you/around you that dont cause harm

Is he genus capitlized yes or no?

Yes

IS the specific epithet lower cases yes or no?

NO
