Microbio Lab 5 Euakaryotic Microbes Parasitology Viruses 2023. Student Name: Access Code (located on the underside of the lid of your lab kit): AC- POW4X5C Pre-Lab Questions 1. What is a model organism, and why is Saccharomyces cerevisiae so often used as one?A model organism are non human species that are used in a lab, allowing scientists to understand biological processes. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is commonly used because it is easy to manipulate its genomic structures. 2. Research and discuss the properties of mold that make them sometimes beneficial to humans, and sometimes potentially harmful. Molds are a type of fungus. They are beneficial to humans as some mold species produce alcohol, citric acid, and cleaning products. They can be fatal because some mold species cause diseases in the body like asthma, or aspergillus. 3. Parasitic helminths are a major cause of disease in undeveloped countries around the world. Discuss the role that microbiologists can and have played in helping to reduce the number of infections caused by parasitic helminths. The microbiologists are able to educate people on how they spread via food and animals. They are able to educate people on the proper practices they should use to prevent the parasitic helminths from spreading.
