JMU BIO 245 Micro Exam 1 Questions
With Complete Answers
microorganisms - ANSWER organisms that are too small to be seen with the
unaided eye
microbe types - ANSWER bacteria, archaea, algae, fungi, viruses, protozoa
Who was the father of western medicine - ANSWER Hippocrates
Who was the father of scientific history - ANSWER Thucydides
Inventor of first microscope - ANSWER Leeuwenhoek
Pasteur's contributions - ANSWER -Fermentation
-Pasteurization
-Vaccines
-Swan neck experiment
Koch's contributions - ANSWER one bacteria= one disease (germ theory of
disease)
Taxonomy - ANSWER classification, description, identification, and naming of
organisms
Linnaeus - ANSWER Swedish botanist who proposed the modern system of
biological nomenclature
Linnaeus's 2 kingdoms - ANSWER animal and plant
who added kingdom fungi - ANSWER Robert Whittaker
who added kingdoms protista and monera - ANSWER Haeckel
who is credited with the 5 kingdom tree - ANSWER Whittaker
Phylogeny - ANSWER Evolutionary history of a species
genetics-based tree of life - ANSWER Woese and Fox
, Woese-Fox System of Taxonomy - ANSWER Based on conserved small subunit
ribosomal RNA sequences (ssu rRNA)
Analysis of these sequences revealed a separate group for the archaeabacteria
called Archaea
An entirely new system was proposed based on domains
3 domains - ANSWER Bacteria, Archaea, Eukarya
Binomial nomenclature - ANSWER A system for giving each organism a two-
word scientific name that consists of the genus name followed by the species
name (Linnaeus)
types of microorganisms - ANSWER Bacteria, Archaea, Fungi, Protozoa, Algae,
Viruses
Two types of prokaryotes - ANSWER Bacteria and Archaea
archaea - ANSWER -found in extreme environments
-not typically associated with human disease
bacteria - ANSWER -wide range of metabolic capabilities
-described in terms of shape
-cell walls= peptidoglycan
algae - ANSWER plantlike protists whose derivatives can be used for human
products
protozoa - ANSWER animal-like unicellular protists
example of protozoa - ANSWER malaria
fungi - ANSWER A kingdom made up of nongreen, eukaryotic organisms that
have no means of movement, reproduce by using spores, and get food by
breaking down substances in their surroundings and absorbing the nutrients
types of fungi - ANSWER yeast, mold, mushrooms
are yeasts unicellular or multicellular? - ANSWER unicellular
multicellular animal parasites - ANSWER Eukaryotes
Multicellular animals
Parasitic flatworms and roundworms are called helminths
Microscopic stages in life cycles
