Quiz 6 Oct-17

Osmotic Pressure

QuestionAnswers
Do all microorganisms need water? ~ Yes
Bacteria that can tolerate high salt concentrations is called: ~ Osmotolerant
What is the name of the microorganism that needs high salt levels to grow? ~ Halophiles
What 2 common things are used as food preservatives in high levels? ~ Sugars and Salts
When something is equal in solutes it is called: ~ Isotonic
When something has more solutes than another area it is called: ~ hypertonic
When something has less solutes than an area it is called: ~ hypotonic
What does "Obligate Aerobes" mean? ~ needs oxygen
What does "Obligate Anaerobes" mean? ~ cannot function in the pressence of oxygen
What does "Facultative Anaerobes" mean? ~ grow better with oxygen, but can grow without
When something only needs small amounts of oxygen to live it is called: ~ microaerophiles
Aerotolerant anaerobes means: ~ indifferent to oxygen
Do all organisms produce superoxide (O2-)? ~ yes
Is superoxide good for cells? ~ No, it's toxic by stealing electrons
What is a type of Superoxide Dismutase? ~ Hydrogen Peroxide
Hydrogen Peroxide is toxic to cells and it must be: ~ Neutralized
Obligate Anaerobes lack: ~ Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), and Catalase
Name some major elements that can conrol microbial growth? ~ Carbon, Oxygen, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Calcium, and Iron
How can trace elements help in microbial growth? ~ by enzyme functions
Name 3 trace elements? ~ Zinc, Copper, and Cobalt
When cultivating bacteria, name 4 media we might use? ~ Complex, Chemically Defined, Selective, and Differential
Which media inhibits growth of many organisms, other than the one being sought? ~ Selective
Which media shows a bacteria change a certain ingrediant showing a response? ~ Differential
Which media is made of peptones and extract? ~ Complex Media
Which media is made of a percise mixture of chemicals? ~ Chemically Defined
Name two examples of a selective media? ~ Brilliant Green Agar, and (EMB) Eosin Methylene Blue
What is an example of a differential media? ~ Blood Agar Plates

Name 4 methods to detect and measure bacterial growth? ~ Direct cell counts, Viable cell counts, Measureing Biomass, and Measureing cell products
What is the difference between direct cell counting and viable cell counting? ~ Viable is qualifying a number of cells capable of multiplying and direct is physical counting of each.
What are 2 cell counting instruments used with direct cell counting? ~ Coulter counter and flow cytometers
Which method of measuring bacterial growth is considered an "indirect" method? ~ Measuring Biomass
What are 3 products of a cell that might be used to measure? ~ Acid, gases, and ATP
What are the 5 stages of bacterial growth in growth curve? ~ Lag phase, log phase, stationary phase, death phase, and phase of prolonged decline
What phase does bacteria synthesize macromolecules in preparation for multiplying? ~ the Lag phase
What phase does rapid growth (exponential growth) take place? ~ the Log phase

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
