🗑
how do microbial control agents alterate membrane permeability?   alterations: susceptibility of the plasma membrane is due to its lipids & protein components; certain chemical control agents damage plasma membrane  
🗑

🗑
how does antigenic variation benefit a pathogen?   by the time the body mounts an immune response against a pathogen, the pathogen has already altered its antigens & is unaffected by antibodies  
🗑
herd immunity   individuals of a population will be protected from a disease to prevent its rapid spread to those in the population who are not vaccinated; many immune people present in a community  
🗑
morbidity   the relative incidence of a particular disease  
🗑
mortality   the ratio of deaths in an area to the population of that area  
🗑
what factors contribute to the emergence of new infectious diseases?   new strains, global warming/weather pattern changes, widespread use of antibiotics/pesticides, known diseases spread to different regions, animal control measures, unrecognized infections in regions undergoing ecological changes by natural disaster, wars  
🗑
why do certain diseases have to be reported to the US public health service?   provides epidemiologists with an approximation of incidence & prevalence of a disease, info helps officials decide whether or not to investigate, possible to control measures to stop disease from spreading  
🗑
optimal pH for most bacterial growth?   6.5-7.5  
🗑
how can high osmotic pressure be used to control microbial growth?   high concentrations of salt or sugar inhibit microbial growth, loss of water from microbe inhibits metabolic functions of cell  
🗑
biofilms   Surface coating colonies which secrete signalling molecules that recruit nearby cells causing the colony to grow. These cells also produce proteins that adhere to substrate and allow nutrients to reach the center and for wastes to be expelled.  
🗑
culture medium   nutrients prepared for microbial growth  
🗑
how many ATP are produced for each NADH mol?   1 ATP = 6 NADH  
🗑
how many ATP are produced for each FADH mol?   1 ATP = 2 FADH  
🗑
fermentation   a process in which an agent causes an organic substance to break down into simpler substances  
🗑
lactic acid fermentation   The conversion of pyruvate to lactate with no release of carbon dioxide; bacteria only  
🗑
alcohol fermentation   Glycolysis followed by the conversion of pyruvate to carbon dioxide and ethyl alcohol.  
🗑
Linnaeus   binomial system of nomenclature  
🗑

🗑
leeuwenhoek   made microscopes as hobby, using his own bodily fluids as slides  
🗑
