potentially hazardous (or pathogenic) materials is known as .
Your Answer:
Universal precautions
Universal precautions
Question 2 pts
List at least 3 observations a researcher would be sure to note while
assessing an unknown microbial sample.

,Your Answer:
Size and Shape
The presence of any chemical reaction
Any noticeable motility
A lab researcher would be certain to note:
1. Size and shape
2. Any observable motility
3. Gram status (positive or negative)
4. The presence of any chemical reactions
5. Changes in color localized to the organism or the
surrounding media
6. Capture (or draw) images of any of the characteristics
described above
Question 3 pts
While observing an unknown sample of limited amounts, a researcher
must determine the following observations: (1) the presence of any
motility and (2) its Gram status using the same sample—the liquid sample
cannot be divided. Which would you determine first and why?
Your Answer:
Determining the presence of motility would be my first step, before
determining its Gram status. This is because motility requires the mount
to be wet, while Gram status requires the sample to be heat fixing. If one
choses to begin with the Gram status, the process would destroy the
organism, therefore ruining any chances of accurately determining the
motility.
