MICROBIOLOGY 210 EXAM 1
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 100%
CORRECT.
Microorganisms - ANSWERToo small to be seen with the unaided eye
Germ - ANSWERRefers to rapidly growing cells; Few are pathogenic
Pathogenic - ANSWERThis means disease causing
Prokaryotes - ANSWERThese do not have a nucleus
Eukaryotes - ANSWERThese have a nucleus
Decomposers, Producers, Chemicals such as Ethanol, Fermented Foods,
Manufacturing, Disease Treatment - ANSWERWhat are the functions of microbes?
Genus and Specific Epithet - ANSWERHow do we classify microorganism names?
(Each has 2 names)
Escherichia Coli - ANSWERTheodore Escherich discovered this; Describes its habits-
the large intestine or colon
Staphylococcus - ANSWERDescribes the clustered spherical cells; Describes gold color
colonies
Morphology - ANSWERThis means shape
Bacteria - ANSWERProkaryotes; Different shapes/sizes; Peptidoglycan cell walls;
Binary Fission; For energy use organic chemicals, inorganic chemicals, or
photosynthesis
Archaea - ANSWERProkaryotic; Lack peptidoglycan; Live in extreme places
(volcanoes, ice cores)
Fungi - ANSWEREukaryotes; Chitin cell walls (sugar derivative); Use organic chemicals
for energy
Molds/Mushrooms - ANSWERAre multicellular, consisting of masses of mycelia,
composed of filaments called hyphae
, Protozoa - ANSWEREukaryotes; Absorbs or ingests organic chemicals; Maybe motile
via pseudopods, cilia, flagella; Can be photosynthetic using light to make energy and
CO2 to produce sugar
Algae - ANSWEREukaryotes; Cellulose cell walls; Photosynthesis for energy; Produce
molecular oxygen and organic compounds
OSE - ANSWEREnding in this means sugar
ASE - ANSWEREnding in this means enzyme
Viruses - ANSWERAcellular; Consists of DNA/RNA; Core surrounded by protein coat;
Coat maybe enclosed in lipid envelope; Replicated only when they live in host cell
Bacteria, Archaea, Eukarya - ANSWERWhat are the classifications of microorganisms?
Endosymbiant Theory - ANSWERBacteria developed the ability to make own energy,
and eukaryotes develop a symbiotic relationship with other organisms
Spontaneous Generation - ANSWERHypothesis that living organisms arise from
nonliving matter; a "vital force" forms life
Biogenesis - ANSWERHypothesis that living organisms arise from preexisting life
Microbes - ANSWERPasteur's S-shaped flask kept what out but let air in?
Heat - ANSWERPasteur's S-shaped flask also showed that microbial life can be
destroyed by what? Which results in blocking from contaminating a solution.
Anthrax - ANSWERRob Koch proved that bacteria causes what and proves that specific
microbe causes a specific disease?
Abundance - ANSWERMicroorganisms has to be found in what in a sick individual, but
not a healthy one?
Vaccination - ANSWEREdward Jenner inoculated a person with cowpox virus, who was
then protected from smallpox; Protection is called immunity
Modern Chemotherapy - ANSWERTreatment with chemicals; Used to treat infectious
disease can be synthetic drugs or antibiotics
Antibiotics - ANSWERChemicals produced by bacteria or fungi that inhibit or kill other
microbes; First was penicillin
Quinine - ANSWERThis what used to treat malaria; Comes from tree bark
