Microbiology with Diseases/Tested & Confirmed A+
Answers.
Arthropods - CORRECT ANSWERS -Insects and similar organisms such as parasites
and vectors
Robert Hooke - CORRECT ANSWERS -first to observe "small chambers" in cork and
call them cells.
The Cell Theory - CORRECT ANSWERS -idea that all living things are composed of
cells, cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things, and new cells are
produced from existing cells
Antoni Leeuwenhoek - CORRECT ANSWERS -microscopes, first to discover
animalcules (Microbes)
spontaneous generation - CORRECT ANSWERS -Hypothesis stating that life could
arise from nonliving matter.
Abiogenesis - CORRECT ANSWERS -theory that life can originate from nonliving
matter; spontaneous generation
Louis Pasteur - CORRECT ANSWERS -A French chemist, this man discovered that
heat could kill bacteria that otherwise spoiled liquids including milk, wine, and beer.
Swan-necked flasks
Fermentation - CORRECT ANSWERS -Process by which cells release energy in the
absence of oxygen, yeast ferments and makes alcohol and yeast. Bacteria ferments
and makes acid
Pasteurization - CORRECT ANSWERS -treating a substance with heat to kill or slow
the growth of pathogens
Germ Theory of Disease - CORRECT ANSWERS -idea that infectious diseases are
caused by microorganisms developed by Pasteur
Robert Koch - CORRECT ANSWERS -German doctor who identified the bacterium that
caused tuberculosis, anthrax and examined colonies of microorganisms
Robert Koch's contributions - CORRECT ANSWERS --formalizes standards to identify
germs with infectious diseases
1) Simple staining techniques
2) first photomicrograph of bacteria
3) first photomicrograph of bacteria in diseased tissue
, 4) Techniques for estimating CFU/ml
5) Use of steam to sterilize media
6) Use of Petri dishes and gelatin in broth (nutrient agar plates)
7) Techniques to transfer bacteria
8) Bacteria as distinct species
-Koch's postulates became standards for linking a specific organism to a specific
disease
Etiology - CORRECT ANSWERS -study of the cause of disease
Koch's postulates - CORRECT ANSWERS -Suspected causative agent must be found
in every case of the disease and be absent from healthy hosts, agent must be isolated
and grown outside the host. When agent is introduced into a healthy, susceptible host,
the host must get the disease. Same agent must be found in the diseased experimental
host
Semmelweis - CORRECT ANSWERS -Person who advocated hand-washing to
prevention transmission from one patient to another
Lister - CORRECT ANSWERS -First to use disinfectants in surgical procedures
The science of classification - CORRECT ANSWERS -Criteria for identification, arrange
in groups and how evolved a species is
Basic Principles of Taxonomy - CORRECT ANSWERS -Laid down by Linnaeus. He is
known as "father or taxonomy"
Binomial Nomenclature - CORRECT ANSWERS -A system for giving each organism a
two-word scientific name that consists of the genus name followed by the species name
subgroup of a species - CORRECT ANSWERS -strain
Species - CORRECT ANSWERS -Group of morphologically similar individuals that can
successfully produce viable offspring
species name - CORRECT ANSWERS -the two-part scientific name of a species
composed of the genus and the species identifier
Linnaeus system of classification - CORRECT ANSWERS -His system classified
organisms based on characteristics in common, grouped organisms that can interbreed
into categories called species, used binomial nomenclature
binomial nomenclature rules - CORRECT ANSWERS -Always capitalize genus name,
use lower case for specific epithet. Once mentioned and understood, it can be
abbreviated. Ex: H. sapiens, when typed use italics, when hand written underline
