tips for success
When studying, this cognitive framework or mental structure helps individuals organize and interpret new information, making it easier to understand and remember complex concepts.
What is building a Schema?
This scientist proved that microorganisms can cause disease by developing a set of "postulates" named after him.
Who is Robert Koch and Koch's Postulates
This scientific principle states that living organisms can only arise from other living organisms.
What is biogenesis
Type of prokaryote without a peptidoglycan cell wall
Archaea
This bacterium is used in yogurt production and contributes to its tangy flavor.
What is Lactobacillus bulgaricus?
Spaced repetition is a very powerful study tool where you first immerse yourself in the material, take a break, then repeat your practice of the material. What does Dr. Osborn like to call this study technique?
What is the shampoo method?
Which scientist accidentally discovered penicillin?
Alexander Fleming
Francisco Redi's experiment showed that maggots could arise from rotting meat and was a key component of the theory of what?
Spontaneous generation
Type of photosynthetic eukaryote whose Cell wall is made of cellulose
algae
This type of microorganism moves using whip-like structures called flagella.
What are flagellates
Even when the colors are different, too much of this can make everything seem the same, which is effectively equivalent to not doing it at all!!
What is Highlighting, or highlighting overkill
Along with developing fermentation and pasteurization, this scientist definitively disproved spontaneous generation, kicking off the golden age of microbiology and the germ theory of disease
Who is Louis Pasteur
The scientific name for a domestic dog is Canis lupus familiaris. What does "Canis" refer to?
What is the genus?
This multicellular eukaryote has a Cell wall made of chitin, almost always interconnected by a mycelial network and are known as decomposers
what is fungi
These single-celled microorganisms are often used to make bread rise and produce carbon dioxide gas.
What are yeasts
Time of the day when you are most rested, alert, and ready to focus? Schedule your study session for this time!
What is your Golden time!
This scientist noticed that milk maids who contracted cowpox where immune to smallpox. He went on to develop the smallpox vaccine
Who is Edward Jenner
In regards to Pasteur's experiment to disprove spontaneous generation, what instrument or design Provided the physical conditions for trapping airborne contaminants and preventing microorganisms from entering the flask.
S- shaped flask
This type of Eukaryote is Unicellular, and has a complex cell structure that lacks a cell wall
examples include amoebae's and flagellates
What is Protozoa
What jelly-like substance obtained from the cell walls of red algae is often used as a substrate in Petri dishes?
Agar
This study tool can be utilized by doing the Extra Credit Unit Mini-Lessons, which are videos that include your voice discussing a topic in your own words.
What is re-teaching concepts?
This scientist classified different strains of streptococci based on their cell wall components, also known as serotyping
Who is Rebecca Lancefield
Each of the following organisms would be considered a microbe EXCEPT
yeast, bacterium, mushroom, virus or protist
What are mushrooms?
macroscopic fungi and are not typically classified as microorganisms.
These microorganisms do not fit neatly into the traditional classification of living organisms because they are not technically living on their own and require a host to replicate
they are typically grouped and studied based on their characteristics and properties.
What are viruses?
What bacterium, better known in its partially abbreviated name, is Gram-negative and rod-shaped? It had a famous outbreak in 1993 when “Jack In The Box” inadvertently spread it across four states.
What is E. coli
