archaea   Prokaryotic (no nucleus) - lack peptidoglycan - found in extreme environments - methanogens (produce methane), extreme halophiles (salt-loving), extreme thermophiles (heat loving)  
🗑
Fungi (fungus)   Eukaryotes - uni/multicellular - no photosyn. - lack peptidoglycan - decomposers - digest food outside body then absorb.  
🗑
Yeasts   Fungi, eukaryotes - unicellular & oval - larger than bacteria.  
🗑
Eukaryotes   Have nucleus w/nuclear membrane  
🗑
Domain eukaryotes includes?   Protists, fungi, plants, & animals  
🗑
Protists   Multicellular - have nucleus - seaweeds  
🗑
Plants   Photosynthetic - producers  
🗑
Animals   Ingest tissues or juices - consumers  
🗑
Molds form visible masses called __.   mycelia - long cottony growths  
🗑
Fungi can reproduce __ or __.   sexually or asexually  
🗑
protozoa (protozoan)   Unicellular, eukaryotic microbes - move w/flagella, pseudopods, or cilia - amoebas - free entities or parasites - sexual or asexual  
🗑
algae (alga)   Eukaryotes, photosynthetic, sex/asex, cell walls w/cellulose - photosynthetic - produce O2 & carbs  
🗑
Viruses   acellular - core of DNA or RNA w/protein coat.  
🗑
3 Domain System   Bacteria (cell wall w/peptidoglycan), archaea (cell wall w/o peptidoglycan), & eukarya  
🗑
How are bacteria, archaea, fungi, protozoa, algae, & viruses distinguished on basis of cellular structure?   Through the 3 domain system.  
🗑
2 major groups of parasitic worms   flatworms & round worms (helminths)  
🗑
Helminths   round worms - start as microscopic  
🗑
Name 3 types of protists   slime molds, protozoa, & algae  
🗑
Name 3 types of fungi   unicellular yeasts, multicellular molds, & mushrooms  
🗑
Cell theory   All living things are composed of cells - Hooke in 1665

What was Robert Hooke's contribution to biology?   Cell theory  
🗑
What was Anton van Leeuwenhoek's contribution to microbiology?   Observed living bacteria & protozoa - microorganisms  
🗑
Spontaneous generation   Life can arise from nonliving matter.  
🗑
Biogenesis   Life can arise only from preexisting living cells - Virchow 1858  
🗑
How did Pasteur contribute to aseptic techniques?   Pasteur showed that microbial life can be destroyed by heat & that methods can block access to unwanted microorganisms.  
🗑
aseptic techniques   Techniques that prevent contamination by unwanted organisms.  
🗑
Pasteurization   Heating to kill bacteria  
🗑
Germ theory of disease   Microorganisms cause diease  
🗑
Koch's postulates   Sequence of experimental steps for directly relating a specific microbe to a specific disease.

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.
