Microbiology Exam 2

2011 Exam 2

QuestionAnswer
Bionary fission single organisms turning into two organisms
ribosomes are made of what? RNA and Protein
Ribosomes function is to do what? protein synthisis

5/10 steps of endospore creation 1.) organism becomes stressed-DNA/RNA replicated 2.)produce layers to surround DNA/RNA 3.) fill membrain with peptidoglycan 4.) Spore coat containing calcium and dipocolinic acid 5.) Dehydration of organism

What is Anabolism? Putting the small things together to build bigger things
Energy of Activation what is used to carry out chemical reactions or processes
Enzymes are what? Biological catalysis that drive chemical reactions
What do enzymes do in the body? Lower the required energy of activation

Anerobic Respiration can not take place in the presence of what? Oxygen
Respiration has a high what? Yield of ATP
Substate Level Phospherylation is what? taking 2 phosphates from a five phosphate chain and creating ATP
Glycolysis creats how many ATP? 2
Pyruvic acid creates what? 3 carbon compound
Fermintation is what? Taking pyruvate and creating something organic
What two things does fermintation not have? Oxygen and doesn't create ATP
What function does the electron transport chain do? solutes go from high concentration to low concentration
What is the Krebs Cycle? take a carbon skeleton and modify it to produce intermediates
What is produced in the Krebs Cycle? ATP
NAD and FAD are converted to what? NADH and FADH
What does the Krebs Cycle give off by use of the Electron Transport Chain protons and electrons
What does the Kreb Cycle both use and create? ATP
How many times does the Kreb Cycle turn to produce one ATP? Twice
what kind of molecules pick up the protons and electrons throughout the Kreb Cycle? Carrier Molecules
For every glucose that is sent through the Kreb Cycle how many ATP are created? 2
In Euchariotic cells ATP is made in what organelle? Mitochondria
In bacteria where is the ATP embedded? Cell Membrain
What is the inorganic electron? It is at the end of the chain serving as the final electron acceptor
Three Groups contained within the ETC? FMN, Qubicranone, Cytochrome
What do the three groups do in the ETC? give and accept electrons to create the Redox Reaction
The ETC is a series of what? Reduction and Oxidation reactions
what is the process called that turns ADP into ATP? Chemosmosis
Protein NADH contains how many ATP? 3
Protein FADH contains how many ATP? 2
What controls microbial growth? Temperature, PH, AW, and Atmosphere
what does AW stand for? Avail of Water
What is a psychrophile? loves the cold temp-10*C / 50*F close temperature to the refridgeorator food spoilage organism once they enter the body they will die
What is a Mesophille? They like medium temperature 37* C/ 98.6*F they are disease causing Organisms
What is a Thermophile? They like heat 60* C/ 120*F they are used in firmentation of food products
What is Pschotophs? -They like to grow in the cold temperature but don't love the cold -They cause food borne pathogens Once they are placed in the refridgeorator they continue to grow -once they are consumed they continue to grow
What is an Acidophile? -They like the acid conditions -They live in the stomach, vagina -used in food firmention
What is an Halophile? -Love Salt -Some are present on the serface of the human body
What is an obligate aerobe? -Must have oxygen -aerobic respiration -we are obligate aerobes
What is an Obligate anerobe? -No oxygen -oxygen will kill them -gangrene causing organisms -they carry out firmintation reactions
What is facultive anerobe? -they can have oxygen or not have oxygen they don't care -CO2 is okay also
What is aerotolerant anerobe? -they tolerate the oxygen but they don't use it -they are used in firmentation or in anerobic respiration
What is an Microaerophile? -they only need a little bit of oxygen -8/10% oxygen -use a condled jar in order to reduce the oxygen and allow the food source to grow
How much times is needed in order to grow the bacteria for lab testing? 18-24 hours
How is microbial growth measured? -serial dillution -filtration -direct microscopic count -turbidomentric assey
What is an colony? dots on a petry dish each colony is one single bacterium
How is tider determined? colony forming units/per millimeter
When is filtration used? whenever you have a large sample size...ie: lake, pond, waterwell
How many hours is needed to allow bacteria to grow when using filtration? 18-24 hours
How big is the sample size for filtration method? 100 mL
How big is the sample size for serial dillution? 1 mL
What is the method used to determine filtration? pour sample through membrain filter and bacteria will not go through the holes thus lying on the top and growiing
When we are counting the sample size what are we counting? living or dead bacteria? Living only
What is direct microscopic count? use a microscope and a petry dish that has a grid on it. usually you count five squares and multiply.
in direct microscopic count are you counting living or dead bacteria? Both
What instrament does tubidometric Assay use? spectrophotmeter
What is the method for measuring using Tubidometric Assay? shine a light through a sample and measure the light in percentage trasmitted through the sample
Tubidometric Assay is a _________method of counting? Indirect
What is sterilization? complete and absolute distruction of all ife forms
What is Disinfection? Destruction of vegatative cells usually used on serfaces
What is Antiseptsis? Disinfection of tissues used on the skin serface
What is santitation? reduce the number of pathogens to an acceptable public health level
What is Bacteriostatsis inhibitation of growth
what is bacteriocidal? killing of organisms
what is asepsis? Absence of pathogens from object or an area `
What is aceptic technique? protect self and patient
What are some things to consider when killing organisms? -70*C will kill all bacteria in 10 minutes -number of organisms trying to kill -different microbes vary in susceptibility
What is the most diffucult organism to illiminate? Prions
what different conditions will affect kill rate and the growth -temperature -ph -if activiely replicating they are easier to kill -warmer temperatures kill things easier -ph is neutral it is easier to kill
What is basic hand wash procedure? 15 seconds of rubbing warm water not HOT use paper towel 25 cent peice of soap
Two ways to control growth of bacteria? Heat or Paseurization
What is the intstrament used to control growth of bacteria by heat? Autoclave
Autoclave Heat under pressure using Steam
What are the three ways pasturization is used to control growth of bacteria? Batch, HTST (high temperature short time), UHT (ultra high temperature)
Batch heat is used in what situation? Mom and Pop businesses where a small amount is heated to 63*C for 30 Minutes
When is HTST used? sometimes it is called "flash" heating where milk is run through tubes at 72* C for 15 seconds
When is UHT used? When milk is run through a celing tube system for 3 seconds at a temperature of 74-140* C it burns the milk but allows it to be placed on the shelves without refridgeoration. Half and Half is pasturized this way.
Two other ways to control growth of microbes other than using heat? Controling PH and The AW
What do you need to do to the PH of an item in order to control growth. Microbes like neutral Ph so making it more acidic makes the microbes less likely to grow
What do you need to do to the Aw in order to control growth? Microbes like water so removing the water makes microbes less likely to grow
