ANSWERS AND QUESTIONS SURE A+
✔✔Nonpathogenic - ✔✔Harmless microorganisms that may perform useful functions
and are safe to come in contact with since they do not cause disease or harm.
✔✔pathogenic - ✔✔Bacteria are harmful microorganisms that can cause disease or
infection in humans when they invade the body.
✔✔direct transmission - ✔✔Transmission of blood or body fluids through touching
(including shaking hands), kissing, coughing, sneezing, and talking.
✔✔Fungi - ✔✔Single-cell organisms that grow in irregular masses that include molds,
mildews, and yeasts; can produce contagious diseases such as ringworm.
✔✔indirect transmission - ✔✔Transmission of blood or body fluids through contact with
an intermediate contaminated object such as a razor, extractor, nipper, or an
environmental surface.
✔✔germs - ✔✔Nonscientific synonym for disease-producing organisms
✔✔Toxins - ✔✔Various poisonous substances produced by some microorganisms
(bacteria and viruses).
✔✔Virus - ✔✔a submicroscopic particle that infects and resides in cells of biological
organisms
✔✔Cocci - ✔✔Round shaped bacteria that appear singly or in groups
✔✔Staphylococci - ✔✔Pus-forming bacteria that grow in clusters like a bunch of grapes.
They cause abscesses, pustules, and boils.
✔✔Streptococci - ✔✔Pus-forming bacteria arranged in curved lines resembling a string
of beads. They cause infections such as strep throat and blood poisoning.
, ✔✔Diplococci - ✔✔Spherical bacteria that grow in pairs and cause diseases such as
pneumonia.
✔✔Bacilli - ✔✔Rod shaped bacteria, most common bacteria and produce diseases
such as tetanus, typhoid fever, tuberculosis, and diphtheria.
✔✔Spirilla - ✔✔Spiral or corkscrew-shaped bacteria that cause diseases such as
syphilis and Lyme disease.
✔✔mobility - ✔✔Refers to self-movement
✔✔Flagella - ✔✔a slender hairlike extension for locomotion (moving about); move in a
snakelike motion.
✔✔Cilia - ✔✔Much shorter than flagella; requires more to ensure self movement. Move
in a rowing-like motion.
✔✔Active Stage of bacteria - ✔✔Bacteria grow and reproduce in dark,warm, damp or
dirty places.
✔✔binary fission - ✔✔A form of asexual reproduction in single-celled organisms by
which one cell divides into two cells of the same size
✔✔Inactive stage of bacteria - ✔✔Unfavorable conditions, form spherical spores by
coating themselves with waxlike outer shells.
✔✔inflammation - ✔✔A condition in which the body reacts to injury, irritation, or
infection. Characterized by redness, heat, pain, and /or swelling.
✔✔Pus - ✔✔a fluid containing white blood cells, bacteria, and dead cells, and is the
byproduct of the infectious process
✔✔Local infection - ✔✔An infection, such as a pimple or abscess, that is confined to a
particular part of the body and appears as a lesion containing pus.
✔✔systemic infection - ✔✔An infection where the pathogen has distributed throughout
the body rather than staying in one area or organ.
✔✔Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) - ✔✔a strain of the bacterium
Staphylococcus aureus that has become resistant to the antibacterial action of the
antibiotic methicillin, a form of penicillin
