2024 Microbiology: A Systems Approach Exam 1: ch 1-5
[VERIFIED]
Medical Microbiology - CORRECT ANSWER--deals with microbes that cause diseases in humans and
animals
-researchers examine factors that make the microbes virulent and mechanisms for inhibitinh them
Public Health Microbiology & Epidemiology - CORRECT ANSWER--monitor and control the spread of
diseases in communities
-USPHS, CDC, WHO
Immunology - CORRECT ANSWER--studies the complex web of protective substances and cells produced
in response to infection
-vaccinations, blood testing, allergy
Industrial Microbiology - CORRECT ANSWER--Safeguards our food and water
-includes biotechnology, the use of microbial metabolism to arrive at a desired product
-microbes can be used to create large quantities of substances such as amino acids, beer, drugs,
enzymes, and vitamins
Agricultural Microbiology - CORRECT ANSWER--concerned with the relationships between microbes and
domesticated plants and animals
-plant specialists focus on plant diseases, soil fertility, and nutritional interactions
-animal specialists- work with infectious diseases and other associations animals have with
microorganisms
Environmental Microbiology - CORRECT ANSWER--study the effect of microbes on earths diverse habitats
-Subdisciplines: aquatic Microbiology; soil microbiology; geomicrobiology; astrobiology
What invented photosynthesis and when? - CORRECT ANSWER-Bacteria, long before plants first
appeared
, Explain how photosynthesis evolved - CORRECT ANSWER--Bacteria first used a process called anoxygenic
photosynthesis which did not produce oxygen
-anoxygenic photosynthesis later evolved into oxygenic photosynthesis, which not only produced oxygen,
but also was much more efficient in extracting energy from sunlight
What accounts for 70% of the earths photosynthesis? - CORRECT ANSWER-Photosynthetic
microorganisms
-bacteria and algae
Hooke - CORRECT ANSWER-First observation of microbes using a single microscope of plants/tree bark
cork "cell"
Leeuwenhoek - CORRECT ANSWER--primitive compound microscope
observed "animalcules" teeth scrapings Father of bacteriology
-Father of Protozoology
Francesco Redi - CORRECT ANSWER-first to begin to disproved Spontaneous
Generation with meat experiments
Shultze/Schwann - CORRECT ANSWER-thought air was source of life bad
experiments
Pasteur - CORRECT ANSWER-- Disproved Spontaneous Generation, "sterile" flasks still on display
- pasteurization, developed Germ Theory
Disease, microbes cause disease-1800s
Koch - CORRECT ANSWER-proved Germ Theory of Disease, anthrax caused by B. Anthracis (1875)
-also developed techniques such as inoculation, pure cultures, isolation, media, prep for microscope
