Clinical Microbiology and Infection prevention Test guide.
Microbiology - Answersthe scientific study of microorganisms, that is, of bacteria, fungi,
intracellular parasites, protozoans, viruses, and some worms
Normal flora - Answersmixture of bacteria normally found at specific body sites
Pathogenic - Answersproductive of disease
Virulence - Answersthe relative power and degree of pathogenicity possessed by
organisms
Protists - Answersany member of the kingdom Protista; organisms that include the
protozoa, unicellular and multicellular algae, and the slime molds
Prokaryote - Answersin taxonomy, the kingdom of organisms with prokaryotic cell
structure; that is, they lack membrane-bound cell organelles and a nuclear membrane
around the chromosome
Eukaryote - Answersorganisms in which the cell nucleus is surrounded by a membrane
Capsule or Slime layer - Answersa sheath or continuous enclosure around an organ or
structure
Cilia - Answersthread like projections from the free surface of certain epithelial cells
used to propel or sweet materials across a surface
Flagella - Answersthreadlike structures that provide motility for certain bacteria,
protozoa, and spermatozoa
Spores - Answerscells produced by fungi for reproduction; a resistant cell produced by
bacteria to withstand extreme heat or cold or dehydration
Cell membrane - Answersa semipermeable phospholipid bilayer that separates the
interior of cells from the outside environment and controls movement into and out of the
cell
Nucleus - Answersthe structure within a cell that contains the chromosomes and is
responsible for the cells metabolism, growth, and reproduction
Mitosis - Answerstype of cell division of somatic cells in which each daughter cell
contains the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell
Chromosome - Answersa linear strand made of DNA that carries genetic information
(genes)
Cytoplasm - Answersa gel like matrix contained within the cell membrane that holds all
of the cells internal substructures
Nucleolus - Answersa spherical structure in the nucleus of a cell made of DNA, RNA,
and proteins; the site of synthesis of rRNA
Mitochondria - Answerscell organelles of rod or oval shape that contain the enzymes for
the aerobic stages of cell respiration and are the site of most ATP and synthesis
Golgi apparatus - Answersstacks of membrary bound structures package proteins
inside the cell before they are sent to their destination; important in the processing of
proteins for secretion
Lysosomes - Answerscell organelles containing hydrolytic enzyme capsules used to
break down proteins and carbohydrates to aid in intracellular digestion
Endoplasmic reticulum - Answersorganelle that consist of a network of channels that
transport materials within the cell
Pinocytic vesicles - Answerscompartments made when cells ingest extracellular
material and its contents by invaginating the cell membrane and pinching off
