Antoni van Leeuwenhoek - Answer-The first person in history to view
microorganisms and record these observations.
Protozoa - Answer-Single-celled eukaryotes that are generally motile.
Prokaryotes - Answer-Organisms that include archaea and bacteria.
Louis Pasteur - Answer-Demonstrated that fermentation to produce alcohol is
caused by facultative anaerobes.
Needham - Answer-Provided evidence in favor of the concept of spontaneous
generation.
Koch's postulates - Answer-A set of criteria for establishing a causal relationship
between a microbe and a disease.
Chemical agents - Answer-Used to harm or kill microbes, a process known as
chemotherapy.
,Parasitic worms - Answer-Studied in microbiology because diagnosis usually
involves microscopic examination of patient samples.
Immunology - Answer-The study of the immune system and its response to
pathogens.
Vaccines - Answer-Developed from the work of Jenner and Pasteur, laying the
foundations of immunology.
Basic biochemical reactions - Answer-Primarily involve transfer of electrons and
hydrogen ions.
Semmelweis - Answer-Advocated handwashing as a method of preventing
infections during surgery.
Gram stain - Answer-A technique developed by Hans Christian Gram important for
bacterial identification.
Fungi - Answer-Eukaryotes that have a cell wall; molds are multicellular and yeasts
are unicellular.
Fermentation - Answer-A process caused by facultative anaerobes to produce
alcohol.
Epidemiology - Answer-The study of how diseases spread and can be controlled in
populations.
, Antisepsis - Answer-The practice of preventing infection by using antiseptic
techniques.
Industrial microbiology - Answer-The application of microbiology in industrial
processes.
phospholipids - Answer-Lipids that make up the cell membranes of eukaryotic
cells.
polymers - Answer-Large molecules made up of repeating subunits called
monomers.
starch - Answer-An unbranched polymer composed of simple sugars.
uracil - Answer-A nitrogenous base found in RNA but not in DNA.
dehydration synthesis - Answer-A reaction that involves the removal of water to
form a bond between molecules.
exchange reactions - Answer-Reactions where components are exchanged
between molecules.
Salts - Answer-Produced from exchange reactions in which acids and bases
neutralize each other.
