New cards

what do microbes do in food

bread yogurt, pickles beer, etc different types of fermenting

2
New cards

ecosystems what do microbes do here

they are important decomposers

3
New cards

diseease do lots of microbes cause harm

no on;ly a few but the few are important

4
New cards

biotechnoology how are microbes important

8
New cards

if microbes dispeared humans would notice:

instantly, no microbes, no digestion, no plants, no humans, no world

9

25
New cards

what led people ot have clues about microbes

van leeuwenhoeknhook

27
New cards

what connected microbes to diease

snow is whom

father of epithermigoly he told them to stop using the handle at the pumpp and theyd stop getting chlorea a water doo doo idease

29
New cards

lister is who

first to use disinfecant used carbonic acid during surgery

30
New cards

semmelweis is who

father of ahnd washing showed that handwashing lowered rate of infections

31
New cards

miasma theroy before microscopes people belvied

diease came from bad air

32
New cards

sanitation and wuarantine sometimes worked even without

germ theroy people would listen based on patterns h

33

supernatural causes e

34
New cards

early observations of microbes were useful but _____ were missing

mechanisms

35
New cards

evne though we knew about micribes this was not enough because scientist stilll had to test 2 things

where microbes came form and wherther they caused diease or not

36
New cards

pasturw swan neck flask expierment explain

asked if microbes are from dust or air or just form from non living life, had one with open air one with open air with filter, one with filter had no microbes but the other one had microbes without the filter

37
New cards

koch proved that microbes caused sickness explain his four postulates of what he did to isolate this truth

find the micribe in sick hosts

isolate and grow it

intoduce it into healthy host

recover the same microbe again

38
New cards

as we know lister was the only one who was able to hse pastur’s ideas into practice by using anseptics this connection proves that

scientifci explinations can change public health practices
