| What is microbiology? | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | unicellular organisms that lack membrane-bound structures, prokaryotes, can be shaped like a sphere, rod, spiral, or corkscrew-can reproduce both sexually (conjugation) and asexually (binary fission)
🗑
|
||||
| Describe how bacteria can cause disease. Be sure to include how they spread. | show 🗑
|
||||
| Describe how a bacterial infection can be treated. | show 🗑
|
||||
| Explain how to prevent a bacterial infection. | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | microbe surrounded by a protein coating that infects and multiplies in host cells, contain DNA, considered to be not alive. Reproduces by “hijacking” a cell, injecting its genetic material, and making the cell’s organelles create new copies of the virus
🗑
|
||||
| show | Virus reproduction can kill the cell, so after it “hijacks” the cell and it dies, more viruses are able to infect other cells. Spread by transfer of bodily fluids, air, water, etc.
🗑
|
||||
| Describe how a viral infection can be treated. | show 🗑
|
||||
| How can a viral infection be prevented? | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | a large group of eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and molds. Fungus reproduces with spores
🗑
|
||||
| show | Uncontrolled growth disrupts normal cell function. Spores are spread by wind and water and can remain dormant until conditions are optimal for growth.
🗑
|
||||
| Describe how fungal infections can be treated. | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Fungal infections can be prevented by keeping areas dry and avoiding areas that are potential infection zones (gym showers, pools, etc).
🗑
|
||||
| show | organism that derives nourishment or habitat from the tissues or fluids of another organism, feeds off the host
🗑
|
||||
| How can a parasite be spread to other organisms? | show 🗑
|
||||
| Describe how a parasitic infection can be treated. | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Don’t drink unfiltered/untreated water, wear bug repellant when near mosquito infested areas
🗑
|
||||
| What is an outbreak? | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | a widespread occurrence of an infectious disease in a community at a particular time
🗑
|
||||
| What is a pandemic? | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | People used to die from infectious diseases and pandemics at a much higher rate than they do now. People are more likely to die of non-infectious diseases such as cancer or heart disease.
🗑
|
||||
| Explain why this has changed. | show 🗑

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.
