Q

What are the 4 question scientists searched for answers for?

A
  • Is spontaneous generation of microbial life possible?
  • What causes fermentation?
  • How can we prevent infection and disease?
24
Q

Hypotheses proposed living things arose from three processes

A
  • A sexual reproduction
  • Sexual reproduction
  • Nonliving matter
25
Who proposed spontaneous generation?
Aristotle
26
What is Spontaneous generation?
-Living things can arise from nonliving matter
27
What did Redi find in his experiment?
- when decaying meat was kept isolated from flies, maggots never developed - meat exposed to flies was soon infested - as a result, scientists began to doubt Aristotle's theory
28
What experiment was this? - Scientists did not believe animals could arise spontaneously, but did believe microbes could - experiment with beef gravy and infusions of plant material were boild, then tightly sealed. Days later the vials were cloudy implying microbial life spontaneously generated
Needham's Experiment
29
He concluded that Needham failed to heat vials sufficiently to kill all microbes or had not sealed vials tightly enough - microorganisms exit in air and can contaminate vials - spontaneous generation of microogranism does not occur
Spallanzani
30
Louis Pasteur is considered the _________.
The Father of Microbiology
31
Louis Pasteur conducted experiment which ________.
disproved spontaneous generation
32
Pasteur's used "_________" Flask in his experiment.
"swan necks" flask
33
-When the "______" flask remained upright, no microbial growth appeared
"swan neck:
34
In Pasteur's experiment when the flask was tilted, dust from the bend in the neck seeped back into the flask and made the_________.
infusion cloudy with microbes within a day
35
Debate over spontaneous generation led in part to development of ___________
Scientific method
36
Observation leads to _____. questions generates __________. Hypothesis is tested through experiment(s) Results ___ or ____ hypothesis
- Questions - hypothesis - Experiment - suppost oor reject
37
Accepted hypothesis leads to ____/_____
Theory/law
38
Fermentation was used to describe ______ from sugar, Formation of _____, purification of meat, and decomposition of waste
- alcohol | - lactic acid
39
Some believe air caused fermentation; others insisted ______________ caused fermentation
living organisms
40
Vintners funded research to promote production of alcohol but prevent spoilage during fermentation this lead to ___________.
pasteurization and industrial microbiology
41
Pasteur developed
germ theory of disease
42
Robert Koch studied causative agents of disease - ______ - Examined _____ of microogranisms
Anthrax | -Colonies
43
what are the first four of kochs conteibutions
simple straining techniques, first photomicrograph of bacteria, first photomicrograph of bacteria is diseased tissue, techniques for estimating CFU/mL
44
What are the last four of Kochs contributions?
