Q

pasteur experiment

A

use sterile liquid with broken neck flask
-microbes grew when the flask was contaminated by air and not when it was closed

Q

sterility

A

-eliminate all forms of life including virus and endospores

17
Q

germ theory

A

disease are caused by microbe growth
-pasteur and koch

18
Q

koch’s postulates

A

experimental steps that verified the germ theory
-found cause of anthrax, tb, cholera
-develop pure culture methods

19
Q

four postulates

A

-microbe must be found in abundance in a diseased organism
-microorganism has to be isolated form the diseased and grown in a culture
-cultures microbe shouls cause disease in helathy orgnaism
-microbe reisolated from the inoculated, sick host and identified as identical to original agent

20
Q

taxonomy

A

-organize, classify and name living things

21
Q

classification levels

A

-domain
-kingdom
-phylum/ division
-class
-order
-family
-genus
-species

21
Q

domain

A

-archaea, bacteria, eukarya

22
Q

microbe 2 names

A

-genus (capitalized)
-species (lowercase)
-get italicized or underlined

22
Q

phylogency

A

-natural relatedness between groups of organisms

23
Q

evolution

A

-all new species orginate from preexisting species
-progresses towards greater complexity
