BIO 204 Final Exam Study Guide With Complete solutions
1. Microbiology...: The study of microscopic organisms
2. Aristole 346 BC...: came up with the idea of "spontaneous generation" where life could and did appear
spontaneously from non-living and decomposing matter
3. Francesco Redi 1665...: Disproved the concept of "spontaneous generation"
4. Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek 1673...: designed the microscope
5. Where is the word "bacterium" come from and who was it introduced by ?: The
word is derived from the Greek
It was introduced by Christian Gottfried Ehrenberg in 1828
6. Germ Theory of Fermentation...: A natural process in which alcohol and organic acids are formed
from dissolved sugar in the presence of microorganisms and the absence of air
7. Non-vital...: yeasts seen in fermenting materials are by-products
8. Vital (biological)...: demonstrated the role of yeasts in alcoholic fermentation

, 9. Joseph Lister...: developed the antiseptic surgery sterilization of instruments and the application of carbolic
acid (phenol) to wounds
10. Robert Koch's Postulates...: 1. The same pathogen must present in every case of the disease
2. The pathogen must be isolated from the diseased host and grown in pure culture
3. The pathogen from the pure culture must cause the disease when it is inoculated into a healthy, susceptible laboratory
animal
4. The pathogen must be isolated from the inoculated animal and must be shown to be the original organism
11. Richard Petri...: assistant to Koch
introduced the "petri dish"
12. Walter Hesse...: developed the agar as thickening agent in bacterial cultures
13. Spontaneous generation...: life arises from non-living
14. NOCH makes up how much in the human body?: 96.2%
(3.2% N2, 65% O2, 18.5% C, 9.5% H2)
15. Carbon atom...: - 6 protons, 6 neutrons, 6 electrons
- 2 electrons fill the first shell
- 4 electrons are in the second shell
