1. what is microbio? Microscopic
Independent unit
Comparatively less complex (simpler than other lives)
Rapid rate of reproduction
Omnipresent (everywhere)

study of microscopic organism that occur as independent, rapidly reproducing
units that comparatively less complex than higher plants and animals. exist almost
anywhere

2. Human relation- borne sterile but rapidly colonized over course of time;
ship w/ Microbio mutual relationship;
human provides factors of multiplication: nutrient (available in intestine), appro-
priate temp/environment, appropriate O2 level

3. Microbes rela- help us provide: critical vitamins (K, etc); aid in food digestion; inhibits colonization
tionship w/ hu- of pathogens, guide our immune system
man

4. Micro organism skin,
observable on intestinal tract,
human body on oral cavity,
external area of urogenital system, nasal cavity

5. sterile areas of blood, brain, internal area of urogenital system (due to chemical composition of
human body urine), bone, bladder, spinal cord area, kidney

6. Can an individual No. Except indiv that are on long term antibiotics, or indiv who had major portion

Prokaryotes (bacteria, Archea);

Eukaryotes (Fungi, Protozoa, Algae & sometimes Helminthes)

Infectious Agents (non living component) --> Viruses, Viroids, Prions

8. Prokaryotes -Genetic material not membrane bound, present in nuclei area, one circular
chromosome (except Vibriocholerae)
-No membranous organelles, only non membranous organelles
- cell wall made of peptidoglycan
- divide by binary fission (fewer structures involved)

9. Eukaryotes -genetic material within nucleus, separated from cytoplasm, found on multiple
chromosomes
- both membranous & non membranous organelles present
- if cell wall present, not made of peptidoglycan
- divide by mitosis

10. Membranous Or- nucleus
ganelles lysosomes
golgi
ER
mitochondria

11. Non membra- ribosomes
nous organelles centrioles (but never in Prokaryote)
cytoskeleton

12. advantage of simple with fewer structures and more efficient metabolic process
lacking membra-
nous organelles
in bacteria
