Chapter 1 Flashcards
(106 cards)
A drop of water, first to observe living microbes & discovered bacteria through his homemade single-lens microscope….{A.v.Lee}
Anton van Leeuwenhoek
Who developed a taxonomic system? A system naming plants & animals and grouping similar organisms together?…{C.L}
Carolus Linnaeus
The only type of microbes not described by Leeuwenhoek are?
Viruses
Is a prokaryotic; meaning they lack a nuclei….their genes are not surrounded by a membrane.
Bacteria & archaea.
Who lacks cell walls and composed of a polysaccharide called peptidoglycan.
Bacteria
The cell walls of BLANK lack peptidoglycan & instead are composed of other chemicals.
Archaea ——>found in extreme environments (oxygen-depleted mud at bottom of swamps) Do not cause diseases.
Who is smaller than eukaryotic cells? They live singly or in pairs, chains, or clusters. Their habitat contains a lot of moisture.
Bacteria & archaea
Contains a nucleus composed of genetic material surrounded by a distinct membrane.
Eukaryotic
Who obtains their food from other organisms? They have cell walls & are eukaryotic.
Fungi
God father of micro? Conducted experiment to prove maggots & flies did not arise spontaneously….{R}
Redi
Multicellular that grow long filaments. Reproduce sexual & asexual spores. They can produces new individual without fusing with one another.
Molds
Unicellular & oval to round. They produces asexually by budding. Sometimes produce sexual spores.
Yeast
Single-celled eukaryotes. Live freely in water, but some live inside animal hosts where they can cause disease.
Protozoa
Unicellular & multicellular. Make their own food from carbon dioxide & water using energy from sunlight.
Algae
Could not been seen until electron microscope was invented. They are acellular (not composed of cells)
Viruses
Advocate of (S.G) boiled seed infusions & mutton gravy flasks which were then sealed. Saw microorganisms some days later in the infusions. It was obvious it got contaminated with microbes from the air…..{Née}
Needham
Who contradicted Needham findings?
Spallanzani’s —–people still believed Needham but later Louis Pasteur finally laid the theory of Spontaneous generation to rest!
Lived by this motto: Work,Will,Success, fill human existence. Repeated the Needham/Spallanzani’s experiment. Sealed flask, bent their neaks into S-shape which allowed air to enter while preventing dust/microbes.
Pasteur
Cloudiness indicates what?
Presence of living organisms.
Observations, a question, hypothesis(potential answer to the question), design/conduct a experiment to test hypothesis, results of experiment leads to accept,rejects or modifies the hypothesis. Then theory or law.
Scientific method
Organisms that can live with or without oxygen is called? Who discovered this?…{Pa}
Facultative anaerobes…….Pasteur, conducted serious of observations & experiments that answered “What causes fermentation?” (Grape juice & yeast)
Because of this person in which microbes are intentionally used to manufacture products. Today pasteurization is used routinely on milk to eliminate pathogens that cause diseases. Eliminates pathogens in juices & beverages….. {Pa}
Pasteur
Who explained the chemical explanation by showing that fermentation DOES NOT require living cells? Demonstrated the presence of enzymes, which are cell-produced proteins that promote chemical reactions….{Ed.B}
Edward Buchner
Who modified the scientific method and proved that a given pathogen caused a specific disease? …{RK}
Robert Koch
