Intro

Question 1

Answer 1

Bacteria–Bacteriology
Viruses–virology
Parasites–Parasitology
Fungi–mycology

Question 2

Pathogenic

Answer 2

is disease producing

Question 3

What did Hooke discover?

Answer 3

He discovered the cell, and cell theory

Question 4

Van Leeuwenhoek discovered what?

Answer 4

Bacteria and called them animalcules

Question 5

Pasteur disproved what theory?

Answer 5

He disproved he theory of spontaneous generation

Question 6

What is the theory of spontaneous generation?

Answer 6

living things are derived from inanimate objects

Question 7

How did Pasteur disprove the theory of spontaneous generation?

Answer 7

He experimented using the swan necked flasks or the u tubes. In the swan neck flasks there was lots of media and bacteria growth, but in the U tubes there was no growth because bacteria got stuck in the U.

Question 8

What is Media? What is it made up?

Answer 8

Media is a material that organisms can utilize to grow on and in. Media is made up of water, sugars, proteins and fats.

Question 9

Define Proof of Biogenesis. Who is known for this?

Answer 9

Living cells arise only from pre-existing cells. Pasteur.

Question 10

Pasteur is also known for his work in pasteurization and fermentation. Explain the difference between the two.

Answer 10

Pasterization is a fast heating and a fast cooling, it doesn’t kill all bacteria but puts them in a foggy state where they cannot reproduce. Fermentation eats sugar and creates waste products (i.e. when milk is left out and soiled the sour taste is the bacteria’s waste)

Question 11

What type of waste does a bacteria produce when it eats a sugar?

Answer 11

The waste product of a bacteria when it eats a sugar is an acid.

Question 12

Answer 12

fight infection

Question 17

Paul Ehrlich

Answer 17

Found and studied antibodies in immunity. He worked with syphilis.

Question 18

Chemotherapy

Answer 18

Treating a disease by chemical substances

Question 19

Culture

Answer 19

Question 20

Define the two types of culture.

Answer 20
