Answer
we exert control over microorganise associated with   food materials, agricultural crops, forest trees, ornamental plants, and pathogens that threaten our health or health of animals  
🗑
control metods or treatments tha kill cells are given the prefix   cidal  
🗑
control methods or treatments the inhibit microbial growht but do not kills cells are given the prefix   static

a treatment or method rendering an object free of any viable cells is called   sterilization  
🗑
__ is used to extensively to control microbs associated with food materials, drugs and research chemicals   freezing  
🗑
___ effectively inhibits growht of most microbs by stopping metablic process   freezing  
🗑
___ involves the application of heat at a set temp for a specific period of time to bring about a logarithmic reduction of viable cells present   pasteurization  
🗑
__ is used to control micros in fruit juices, milk , beer, and other food products   pasteurization  
🗑
__ does not kill thermoduric endosporse or hyperthermophilic bacteria   pasteurization  
🗑
Tyndallization aka   fractional sterilization  
🗑
__ involves subjecting liquids to alternate periods of boiling and cooling extended over 3 days   Tyndallization  
🗑
used to sterilize liquids, glass containers, pipette tips by subjecting them to steam heat under pressure simultaneously.   autoclaving (moist heat)  
🗑
__ is used to sterilize glassware or metal instruments potentially damaged by steam.   dry heat  
🗑
_ is used to sterilize wire loops and glass spreader rods (also used for eliminating body parts)   incineration (exposing to open flame)  
🗑
4 physical factos effective in the control of microorganisms   temperature, pressure, radiation, filtration  
🗑
__ cause the formation of thymine-thymine dimers resulting in dletion of type point mutataion, chromosome distortion, and inhibition of replication   ultra violet light  
🗑
__ can be used to sterilize heat sensitive materials like plastices, vaccines, drugs. Used less commonly as it is expensive   Ionizing radiation  
🗑
__ is a static control method used to sterilize liquids and gases as it inhibits their growht by removing them from the medium.   filtration  
🗑
chemicals used in the control of potentially pathogenic microubs ___ the body   outside  
🗑
2 groups of chemical factors effective in the control of microbes   antiseptics and disinfectants  
🗑
__used to control microbes on living surfaces that are mild enought to be used on skin without damaging the eukaryotic cells   antiseptics  
🗑
__ used primarily to control pathogens on non living surfaces   disinfectants  
🗑
chemicals that decrease the surface tension of water. ex soaps and detergents   surfactants (surface active agent)  
🗑
powerful oxidizing agents that can inactivate cellular proteins   Halogens  
🗑
name 4 halogens   chlorine, brominie, iodine, and fluorine  
🗑
5 metal ions used as both antiseptics and disinfectants   copper, silver, zinc, mercury, and lead  
🗑
__ interact with proteins rendering them inactive   metal ions  
🗑
__ cause the addition of methyl or ethyl groups to organic compounds and tend to disrupt protein function   Alkylating agents  
🗑
__reacts with chemical groups (carboxyl, amino and sulfhydryl) and tends to disrupt protein function   Formaldehyde  
🗑
2 Alcohols commonly used as both disinfectants and antiseptics   ethanol and isopropanol  
🗑
__ used in high concentration they denature cellular proteins (cause coagulation) and kill most types of cells   alcohols  
🗑
__ disrupts cellular membrances and kills cells and was used by J Lister as a means of preventing sepsis   Phenol aka carbolic acid  
🗑
__ a powerful oxidizing agent effective against catalase negative organisms and is used as an antiseptic and a mouth rinse   hydrogen peroxide  
🗑
___ are formed by populations of bacteria growing on surfaces of objects and coating themselves with glycocalyx   Biofilms  
🗑

🗑
5 groups of antimicrobial drugs   antifungal drugs, anti viral drugs, anti helminh drugs, anti parasitic drugs and antibiotics  
🗑
are antimicrobial agents originally produced by some type of living organism and used to control bacteria   antibiotics  
🗑
ability of a chemical to control pathogens inside the body without doing damage to tissues is called   differential toxicity  
🗑
___ is influenced by drugs concentration and it's mechanism of action   differential toxicity  
🗑
