question
answer
How much larger will specimen appear with the oil immersion objective   2.5 x larger  
🗑
What lens is required to clearly see the great majority of bacteria   Oil objective(1000x)  
🗑
What controls the amount of light passing thru a specimen   iris diaphragm  
🗑
Is field of small or larger at higher magnification   smaller  
🗑
What lens is good to use for scanning the slide to look for specimens   40x  
🗑
What is the purpose of the oil immersion objective   to resolve objects not easily resolved and provide greater detail  
🗑
As magnification increas what happens to depth of focus   decreases  
🗑
What is order of objectives   red,yellow,blue,white,red  
🗑
What are the three types of bacteral shapes   bacillus, coccus, spirillium  
🗑
What are cells   basic structural and functional units of living organisms  
🗑
What is the size of a typical cell   10-20 micrometers  
🗑
What is the typical size of a bacterial cell   0.5-6 micrometer depending on species  
🗑
What do you use to clean lens of microscope   lens paper  
🗑
What should position should scanning objective be in before putting microscope away   40x  
🗑
The coarse focus knob should only be used with ________   scanning and low power objectives  
🗑
The fine focus knob is used to ________   bring the specimen into sharp focus  
🗑
What is the scanning lens   4x  
🗑
What is the low power lens   10x  
🗑
What is the high power lens   40x  
🗑
What is the oil immersion lens   100x  
🗑
What is the amount of light necessary to get the best image   the least possible  
🗑
What 2 factors does resolution depend on   wavelength and numeric aperture  
🗑
What practical value does the hang drop method have   bacteira can be seen at greater depth  
🗑
What practical value does the wet mount method have   fast way to observe bacteria with greater magnification  
🗑
Whay are microorganisms hard to see in wet mount preparations   They ar eunstained and have no contrast  
🗑
What is the shape of bacillus   rod shaped  
🗑
What is the shape of cocci   round  
🗑
Van Leeuwenhoek   first to observe microbes in suspension  
🗑
Brightfield micrscopy   objects are dark and field is light  
🗑
darkfield microscopy   Objects are light and field is dark  
🗑
What is an innoculating loop   A Nichrome wire held with an insulated handle  
🗑
Before and after it is used the innoculating loop is sterilized by?   flaming until red hot  
🗑
Staining procedures that use only one stain are?   simple stains  
🗑
The ion that is colored in stains is called a   chromophore  
🗑
If the chromophore is a positive ion it is what kind of stain   basic stain  
🗑
If the stain has a negative ion it is what kind of stain   acidic stain  
🗑
A simple stain that stains the bacteria is called a   direct stain  
🗑
A simple stain that stains the background but leaves bacteria unstained is a   negative stain  
🗑
Simple stains are used to   determine the morphology size and arragement  
🗑
A smear is made by   spreading a bacterial suspension on a clean slide and allowing it to air dry  
🗑
How is bacteria heat fixed   after it is air dried you pass it thru the flame several times  
🗑
How can bacteria be chemically fixed   cover the smear with 95% methyl alcohol for 1 minute  
🗑
In negative staining why are bacteria not stained   because of ionic repulsion bacteria and stain both have negative charges  
🗑
Are bacteria heat fixed in a negative stain   No  
🗑
The negative stain is useful for determining   cell morphology or size  
🗑
What kind of stain is the gram stain   differential stain  
🗑
What is the mordant in a gram stain   grams iodine  
🗑
What is the counter stain in a gram stain   safranin  
🗑
Bacteria that decolorize easily are classified as   gram negative  
🗑
What color are all bacteria after primary stain is applied   purple  
🗑
Bacteria that decolorize slowly and retain primary stain are called   gram positive  
🗑
In gram negative cells what does the decolorizing agent dissolve   outer lipopolysaccharide layer and the cv-i washes through the layer of petidoglycan  
🗑
When is the gram stain most consistent   when done on young cultures  
🗑
What are the steps for a gram stain   crystal violet, grams iodine, ethyl alcohol, safranin  
🗑
Endospores are formed mainly by   Clostridium and bacillus  
🗑
Endospores are called   resting bodies  
🗑
When are endospores formed   When essential nutrients or water are not available  
🗑
Once an endospore forms in a cell what happens to the cell   It disentagrates  
🗑
Endospores are impermeable to most stains so how are they stained   Heat is applied to drive stain into cell  
🗑
What are the stains used for endospores   malachite green and safranin  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
