CORRECT 100%
Microbiology - ANSWERthe study of microorganisms and the diseases they cause
Bacteriology - ANSWERthe study of bacteria (ex. E. Coli, Staph, Strep, Salmonella)
Mycology - ANSWERthe study of Fungi (ex. yeast, ringworm, mushrooms)
Virology - ANSWERthe study of viruses (ex. HIV, Rhinovirus, Colds, Influenza)
Parasitology - ANSWERthe study of parasites (ex. worms, protozoans)
Protozology - ANSWERthe study of protozoans (ex. paramecium, amoeba,
plasmodium)
Helminthology - ANSWERthe study of parasitic worms (ex. flukes, tapeworms,
hookworms)
Spontaneous Generation - ANSWERthe idea that life just appears
Biogenesis - ANSWERdevelopment of life from preexisting life
Robert Hook - ANSWERScientist in the 1600's who named a cell a cell. Made the first
primitive microscope and while looking at cork it reminded him of a monk's cell.
Antony Van Leeuwenhoek - ANSWER1600's linen merchant Father of microscopes. He
used them to view thread counts and to look at blood and pond water. Labeled Father of
Micrology.
Francesco Redi - ANSWERItalian Scientist in the 1600's proponent of biogenesis.
Redi's experiment was performed with meat and flies to try and disprove spontaneous
generation.
Lazzaro Spallanzani - ANSWERItalian Scientist in the 1700's who experimented with
boiled broth and not allowing air in to try and disprove spontaneous generation.
Rudolf Virchow - ANSWERIn the 1800's determined that cells must come from
preexisting cells, Looked at tissues, known as the Father of Pathology.
Louis Pasteur - ANSWERIn the 1800's tested spontaneous generation using boiled
broth and a flask with a curved neck to prevent organisms from getting in. Disproved
spontaneous generation by allowing air in but not organisms. Also developed
pasteurization used to prevent sick wine.
, Joseph Lister - ANSWER1800's army surgeon who first use antiseptic for surgery. Used
carbolic acid (phenol) which was hard on skin but prevented infection.
Robert Koch - ANSWERIdentified bacteria that caused two infamous diseases, Anthrax
(caused by Bacillus Anthracis) and TB (caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis).
Koch's Postulates - ANSWER1. Whatever agent is causing the disease should show up
every time.
2. The agent should be able to be isolated and grown in a pure culture.
3. Inoculation into a susceptible organism from a pure culture must produce the
disease.
4. The agent must be recovered from the infected and grown again in culture.
Edward Jenner - ANSWERDeveloped smallpox vaccine using tissue from survivors.
Alexander Flemming - ANSWERDiscovered Penicillin (first antibiotic) in 1929 while
trying to grow staph and strep. another organism kept killing his cultures.
Ignaz Semmelweiss - ANSWERHungarian physician worked with childbirth fever and
pressed for hand washing before surgery and delivering babies.
Jonathan Snow - ANSWERFather of epidemiology, identified cholera after mapping
cholera outbreaks in the city found a contaminated water pump.
Florence Nightingale - ANSWERMother of nursing pressed to have clean clinical areas
and clean patients to prevent infection
Hans Christian Gram - ANSWERdeveloped Gram stain (gram+ =purple stain and gram-
= pink stain)
Felix d'Herrelle - ANSWERdiscovered bacteriophages (viruses that kill bacteria)
2 Kingdom classification - ANSWERPlants (flora) and Animals (fauna)
3 Kingdom classification - ANSWERPlantae, Animalia, and Protista (1 celled organisms)
5 Kingdom classification - ANSWERPlants, Animals, Fungi, Protists, and Monera
(mostly bacteria)
This is the classification we will be using
3 Domain classification - ANSWERBacteria - Eubacteria (most bacteria)
Archaea - really primitive bacteria
Eucaryota - everything else
