MICROBIOLOGY QUIZ 1

        Help!  

Question
Answer
6 major groups of microorganisms   Algae, Bacteria, Fungi, Helminths, Protozoa, and Viruses  
🗑
1 micrometer=   10 to the negetive 9th meter  
🗑
virus's are in what meter range?   nanometer  
🗑
how many meters are virus's   10 to the negative 9th  
🗑
prokaryotes have no   nucleus  
🗑
3 eukaryotes   fungus protozoa and algea  
🗑
central dogma   dna is turned to rna which then goes to proteins  
🗑
archaea are made up of   eukaryotes  
🗑
why is archaea different from bacteria   because they live in very hot climates  
🗑
3 domains   bacteria archaea and eukaryotes  
🗑
how old are microorganisms   4 million years old  
🗑
when is first fossil evidence   3.5 billion years ago  
🗑
first microorganisms are responsible for creating   aerobic enviroment (oxygen containing enviroment)  
🗑
what is first bacteria and what did it do   cyanobacteria, 3.5 billion years ago, helped create oxygen  
🗑
cyano bacteria are the largest..   portion of biomass on earth  
🗑
cyanobacteria allowed other organisms to   start flourishing  
🗑
what is base of foodchain   microorganisms  
🗑
alexander fleming   discovered pennesilin  
🗑
what about pennesilin?   penicillium colony stopped growth of bacteria- created a halo around colony  
🗑
microorganisms can break down   pollutants in enviroment- bioremediation  
🗑
a lot of organisms able to convert __ into __ from ___   corn into ethanol from fermentation  
🗑
food is spoiled by   microorganisms  
🗑
what helps preserve food?   heat, cold, radiation, and chemicals  
🗑
monosodium, glutamate, critric years are all   microorganisms that work with food  
🗑
microorganisms can be disease agents through   biotechnology  
🗑
insulin is produced from __ and is put into microorganisms to   liver of pigs, manipulate cells  
🗑
microorganisms can be used in gene __   therapy  
🗑
gene therapy example   cystic fibrosis- cant breathe properly because of mucus- caused by single mutation in gene so inject them with protein which allows them to overcome disease  
🗑
biotechnology is   manipulating organisms  
🗑
hooke   first person to discover idea of cells  
🗑
who looked at a cork and developed the word "Cells"   hooke  
🗑
what year did hooke progress in?   1665  
🗑
what was anton von leewekhoek interested in?   looking at cloth under a microscope.. then salivia and pond water  
🗑
what did leewekhoek discover?   "animalcules" which are known as bacteria now  
🗑
what year did leewekhoek make discoveries?   1673  
🗑
pasterurs experiments involved   disproving spontaneous generation theory in 1861  
🗑
how did pasterurs disprove spontaneous generation theory?   took broth and boiled it so everything was killed but eventually if left open the broth will become contaminated and microbacteria will pepopulate  
🗑
thus, pasterurs proved that   living matter does not come from nonliving matter  
🗑
pasterurs also famous for achieving   vaccines for anthrax and rabies  
🗑
who discovered that bacteria causes wine spoilage?   pasterurs  
🗑
who created sterilization and pasteurization?   pasterurs  
🗑
dead zones   heat causes algae which are on top of pollutants like fertilizers are food for it, algea bloom , when they die get decomposed by microorganisms, uses up all oxygen  
🗑
what causes a deadzone?   combination of pollutants and run off and algea feeding off of it  
🗑
first step in stopping deadzones?   controlling the pollutants going into the water  
🗑
bassi realized that   silkworm disease was caused by certain type of fungus  
🗑
berkely found that   the great potato blight was caused by fungus  
🗑
lister realized from pesters work that with use of __ he could   antiseptic agents he steralized his intruments and mortality rate went up  
🗑
koch was first scientist to demonstrate directly the role of   bacteria in causing the diseas anthrax  
🗑
anthrax is caused by   bacillus anthracisi  
🗑
how did koch demonstrate anthax findings?   culture microorganisms from dead cows and inject it to healthy ones and healthy animals died  
🗑
what was this called?   the germ theory  
🗑
that did edward jenner do?   smallpox vaccine  
🗑
how we use microorganisms medically   medical microbiology  
🗑
related to microbiology bc looking how microorganisms trigger immune responses   ummunology  
🗑
looking at microorganisms in our enviroment   microbial ecology  
🗑
dna manipulation from one organism to another- the branch of microbiology where we manipulate genos with microorganisms   microbial genetics  
🗑
taking bits of dna from one organism and giving it to another organisms   genetic engineering  
🗑
genetic engineering allows for thing to   resist its enviroment  
🗑
rna into protein is carried by ribosomes- called   translation  
🗑
dna to rna is called   transciption  
🗑
paramecium-   protozoan  
🗑
with brightfield   uses light, must stain cells, organisms will be dead after staining them  
🗑
darkfield   use condenser, used to look at organisms that dont stain well  
🗑
example of organism used under darkfield   tuberculosis bc doesnt stain wel, smaller cells, like syphilis  
🗑
are cells still dead under darkfield?   yes  
🗑
phase contract   do not stain the cells so cells are alice  
🗑
basic stains have a __ charge and consist of (3)   positive- crystal violet, methylene blue, safranin  
🗑
organisms have slight __ charge so   negative charge so stain is attracted to cells and will bind with them  
🗑
differential stains:   you can differentiate between one type of one organisms to another- one that is typically used with a gram stain  
🗑
all bacteria fall into 2 groups-   one that stain with color with gram stain and another that gives another color  
🗑
what does this depend on?   structure of cell  
🗑
gram stain uses different stypes of stain-   crystal violet, iodine, acohol, and safranin  
🗑
with crytal violet all cells look   purple  
🗑
then you apply   iodine  
🗑
iodine helps   crytal violet enter into cells  
🗑
crystal violet is a   mordant  
🗑
alcohol __ crystal violet from cells   removes  
🗑
then you need a __ which is usually   counter stain, safranin  
🗑
gram pos vs gram neg   positive are ones who retain crystal violet, negative are those who lost violet and gain color from safranin  
🗑
use color to differentiate between   different cells  
🗑
all cells either   gram positive or gram negative  
🗑
2 examples of negative staining   klebsiella, pnemoniae  
🗑
why are these negative staining   have capsules which have slimy layer around cell prevent stain  
🗑
capsules cause pnemonia to be   pathogenic  
🗑
endospore staining   spores found inside cell, very difficult to stain  
🗑
example of endorspore staining   vacillus anthracis, anthrax  
🗑
electron microscopes have far greate ___ than light microscopes.. approx __   resolving power; .2 nm  
🗑
electron microscopes are good for   seeing viruses and on and inside the cells  
🗑
distorations are   artifacts- might not be present in cells  
🗑
how does distorations happen?   electron hitting valleys and troughs, if its a tough secondary electrong that got knocked off arnt going far enough to create an image  
🗑
get light and dark images depending on   structure of cell  
🗑
   
🗑
tem image   binary fission- bacterial cell, dna  
🗑
transmission microscope you can see   inside the organisms  
🗑
transmission electron microscope zoom   10,000 to 100,100 x  
🗑
scanning electron microscope   3 diminsenial imaging and scanning surface  
🗑
scanning electron microscope zoom   1000 10,000 x  
🗑
microorganisms elemt cycling includes   conps  
🗑
