1. helminths: parasitic worms
2. types of microorganisms: bacteria, algae, protozoa, helminths
3. viruses: noncellular, parasitic, protein-coated genetic elements
4. photosynthetic microorganisms: account for 70% of Earths phtotsynthesis
5. bacteria and fungi: help plants obtain nutrients and protect them against disease
6. pathogens: microbes that cause disease
7. gastric ulcers and some cancers: diseases thought to be noninfectious now found to have a microbial
correlation
8. Abiogenesis: another name for spontaneous generation; life arises from non-living things
9. Biogenesis: life arises only from living things
10. Robert Hooke: coined the term "cell"; developed Cell Theory
11. Anton van Leewenhook: greatly improved lenses for microscopes
12. Louis Pasteur: disproved Abiogenesis; Alcohol Fermentation; Pasteurization
13. Robert Koch: Koch's Postulates to prove causative agent for an infectious disease
14. Joseph Lister: aseptic surgical techniques
15. Ignaz Semmelweis: aseptic techniques, including hand washing by physicians
16. biofilms: accumulation of bacteria; plaque
17. prokaryotic cell: 10x smaller; lack organelles; no nucleus; Bacteria and Archaea
18. eukaryotic cell: larger; have nucleus and organelles
19. nomenclature: assignment of scientific names; binomial
20. 3 domains: bacteria, archaea eukarya
21. Domain Eukarya: plants, animals, fungi, protists, algae, and protozoa
