PUBH 6011 Week 6 Exam with Complete Solutions Microbes - Answer-microscopic organisms, most microbes are not pathogens but some are, we need a microscope to view them all. three kingdoms (domains) - Answer-bacteria, archaea, eukarya Microbiome - Answer-all of the microorganisms that live in a particular environment, such as a human body, the microbiome is more medically accessible and more manipulable than the human genome. Many are beneficial. uses for microbes - Answer-we make ferme...

What is a pathogen? correct answer A microbial organism that causes disease. What is a commensal organism? correct answer Harmless bacteria that are on our body and can only cause disease if they are accidentally introduced into deeper tissues. Describe the human microbiome. correct answer All the microbes in or on our body. Name the body sites that are most hospitable to bacteria and have their own microbiomes. correct answer Mouth, Respiratory tract, Stomach, Intestines (most hospitab...

Micorbiome correct answer: the complex system of organisms that make up the GI tract (100 trillion) Function of Microbiome correct answer: maintain homeostasis thru interactions from host and microbes Dysbiosis correct answer: Changes in microbiome which may lead to IBS or Other GI conditions Prebiotics correct answer: Healthy type of fiber that acts to promote healthy gut -Ex: Onion, Garlic Probiotics correct answer: Live bacteria that promote healthy gut microbes -Ex: yogurt...

What are some functions of the gut microbiome? - ANSWER-•Supports digestion •support epithelial homeostasis in the gut •Protect against pathogens •Facilitate development of the immune system •Functions as a multifunctional organ that provides metabolic traits not fully evolved in our genome: break down of plant polysaccharides, transformation of conjugated bile acids, synthesis of certain vitamins (i.e. vitamin K) •Postnatal colonization educates immune system so we become tol...

There are as many microbial cells in the human body as there are: human cells. However, ORFs in the microbiome outnumber ORFs in the human genome 95% of the microbes on humans live in: The GI tract (gastrointestinal tract). Different microhabitats support different... ...microbes, depending on temperature, pH, oxygen, etc. Each microhabitat is not homologous (even the same microhabitat can be different on different parts of the body)

CMMB 343 Final Exam How does the microbiome of the human GI tract compare to human genomic cells in the body? (2) 1. approx 1:1 ratio of human cells to microbes (~10 trillion each) 2. The ORFs in the microbiome outnumber the ORFs in our genome 150:1 Define: 1. Microhabitat 2. Microbiota 3. Microbiome 1. Microhabitat -location that supports different microbes (skin, GI tract, etc) -not homologous; skin is a microhabitat but armpit skin different from bicep skin) 2. Mi...
