| 4 Classes Of Cellular Macromolecules | Proteins, nucleic acids, polysaccharides, lipids |
| 6 Features of Living Organisms | Movement, Metabolism, Reproduction, Differentiation, Evolution, and Communication |
| Cells as machines | metabolism |
| cells as coding devices | reproduction |
| Legumes | Fix nitrogen for plant use |
| Robert Hooke | First to see microorganisms |
| Antoni van Leeuwenhoek | first to describe bacteria |
| Ferdinand Cohn | founder of bacteriology and discovered bacterial endospores |
| Louis Pasteur | Disproved Spontaneous generation |
| Robert Koch | developed a set of postulates to prove that a specific organism is responsible for causing a specific disease |

| Beijerinck, Winogradsky | studied bacteria in soil and developed the enrichment culture technique |
| Chemolithotrophy aka Chemoautotrophy | obtains energy from the oxidation of inorganic compounds |
| Enrichment Culture | microorganisms are isolated from natural sample in a selective fashion, paying careful attention to nutrient and incubation requriements |
| Nitrogen Fixation | This process consumes ATP but allows the cell to use gaseous nitrogen for all of its nitrogen needs |
