25
magnification
magnifying something
26
molds
grows in the form of hypha
27
mordant
iodine
28
whey
liquid that separates from the curds
29
Two types of antimicrobial drugs
synthetic drugs and antibiotics (produced by organisms themselves)
30
mycelium
vegetative part of fungus
31
nosocomal infection
infection contracted in hospital
32
parfocal
changed length of magnification
33
prokaryotic
does not have bound nucleus
34
protease
enzyme that breaks down protein
35
protozoa
single celled eukaryote
36
dilution factor
1/dilution
37
pure culture
colonies that are all the same
38
Protein hydrolysis
skim milk agar, casein is a protein-proteases digests protein. If bacteria produce this enzyme then the white casein will be digested on the plate
39
resolution
the amount of detail able to be obtained
40
three types of protists
algae, protozoa, fungi-like protozoa | -slime molds, amoeba, algae
41
spectrum of activity
whether an antibiotic is broad or narrow spectrum
42
characteristics of protozoa
single celled, mobile, heterotrophic, no cell well, eukaryotic
43
Basic dye
contain ions that are positively charged and will be attracted to and color bacterial cells that tend to have negative charges
44
Acidic dyes
ions that are negatively charged and are repelled by bacterial cells, stains background
45
working distance
distance of object to lens
46
yeasts
single cell fungus
47
simple stain
basic dye, methylene blue, safranin, crystal violet
48
differential stain
gram stain, | -stain with primary stain then counterstain
49
Staining gram stains
``` 1-clean slide 2-six bacteria on slide 3-primary stain of crystal violet 4-mordant of iodine (crystalize) 5-decolorized with alcohol 6-counterstain of safranin ```
50
special stain
endospore, flagella
51
special stain
endospore, flagella
52
three types of protists
algae, protozoa, fungi-like protozoa - slime molds, amoeba, algae - heterotrophs, autotrophs, saprotrophs ,
53
scanner
40x, red
54
low power
yellow, 10x*10x=100x
55
high power
blue, 40x*10x=400x
56
oil immersion
black and white, 100x*10x=1000x
57
three domains
bacteria, archaea, eukaryota
58
four kingdoms
animals, plants, protists, fungi
59
characteristics of protozoa
pseudopodia, flagella, cilia, parasite
60
four kingdoms
animals, plants, protists, fungi
61
three things needed to grow bacteria
nutrients, avoiding contamination, isolate different species
62
agar
easily rehydrated, a polymer of galactose, can be digested
