BIOS242 FUNDAMENTALS OF MICROBIOLOGY
WITH LAB EXAM 2 FINAL SCRIPT 2026
COMPLETE QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS
◉ Robert Koch. Answer: Proved that bacterium causes anthrax and
provided the experimental steps of Koch's Postulate
◉ Edward Jenner. Answer: • Discovered vaccination (or the process
of vaccination)
Did it through using cow parts to vaccinate a child to protect against
small pox
◉ Alexander Fleming. Answer: • Discovered the 1st antibiotic
• It was penicillin and it was totally found by accident
Staphylacoccus agnues
◉ Agostino Bassi. Answer: Believed that silk worm disease was
caused by a fungus
◉ Ignaz Semmelweis. Answer: • 1st person that came up with hand
washing
starting with delivering babies and babies we're dying and then
when they washed their hands the death rate when way down
,◉ Woes. Answer: discovered the 3 domains and they were all based
on the sequences of nucleotides in rRNA
◉ Carols Linnaeus. Answer: established the system of scientific
nomenclature
◉ Spontaneous Generation. Answer: the hypothesis that life arises
from non living matter ; a vital force is necessary fro life
disproven by Louis Pasteur
◉ Biogenesis. Answer: the hypothesis that living cells arise only
from preexisting living cells
divide through the binary fission process
◉ Koch's Postulate. Answer: 1. take sample
2. grow it in a pure sample
3. inject it into the same type of organism but a new one
4. take sample form new organism
5. see that if it's the same microorganism that that's one that was the
culprit
, ◉ exceptions to koch's postulate. Answer: - Viruses like syphailis
and leprosy cannot grow in a artificial media therefore they have to
grow in a tissue culture in order for it to grow like we need it to
- Ethical issues
• Ex: HIV or E. Coli
◉ Microbial genetics. Answer: the study of how microbes inherit
traits
◉ Molecular biology. Answer: the study of how DNA directs proteins
synthesis
protein synthesis- ribosomes
◉ genomics. Answer: the study of an organism genes
has provided new tools for classifying microorganisms
◉ Eurkarya. Answer: -animals
-Plants
- Fungi:
• Distinct nucleus
