| A | B |
|---|
| Microbiologist study | bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa, algae and helminthes |
| Prokaryotics | smaller, have no nucleus and no organelles |
| Eukaryotics | larger, have nucleus and organelles |
| All prokaryotics are micro-organisms including | bacteria and arcaea |
| Only some eukaryotics are micro-organisms including | algae, protozoa, milds, yeast and worms and arthropods |
| Viruses are a microbe but are not | cells |
| Antonie Van Leewenhoek | made microscope considered father of bacteriology and protozoology |
| Edward Jenner | Modeled the scientific method; Father of immunology, introduced vaccine for small pox |
| The relationship between death (due to infection) and wealth | wealthy individuals have less communicable and infectious disease than the poor |
| 2 reasons why disease continues to emerge despite vaccines and antibiotics | zoones, which are native to animals but can be spread to humans; microbes are able to adapt to environment |
| Biotechnology | manipulation of micro-organism to make products in an industrial setting |
| An example of biotechnology | using farmed algae to extract a form of oil to be used in place of petroleum products |
| Why were bacteria and fungi some of the first organisms to be genetically engineered | their simple genetic material is easily manipulated |
| Define bioremediation | introduces microbes into the environment to restore stability or clean up toxins |
| Why is bioremediation needed today | control massive levels of pollution as a result of human activities |
| nomenclature | system which assigns names to taxonomic rankings of each microbial species |
| Binomial nomenclature | Assigning 2 names; generic (genus) name followed by species |
| Abbreviation for staphylococcus aureus | S. aureus (has to be underlined or written in italics) |
| ________ name appears first followed by the ______ | Genus; species |
| Two systems of organism classification | Whittaker; Woese-Fox |
| How many kingdoms are in the Whittaker system | 5 Kingdoms |
| How are the kingdoms differentiated from one another | cell structure and type, body organization, nutritional type |
| How many domains are in the Woese-Fox system | 3 Domains |
| How are domains differentiated from one another | The domains are divided into Bacteria, Eukarya, and Archaea |
| What percentage of the earth's photosynthesis are micro-organsims responsible for | more than 50% |
| Which 2 types of organism are involved in decomposition | Bacteria and fungi |
| What two things are wrong with the scientific name Serratia Marcescens | Marcesens is the species and the first letter should be lower case; both genus and species should be italicized or underlined |
| microscope purpose | microorganisms are extremely small and require magnification |
| types of microorganisms | bacteria, fungi, algae, virus protozoa, helminthes |
