Microbes
The Scientific Method
Taxonomy
100
He was the first to observe microorganisms that he called Animalcules.
Who is Leeuwenhoek
100
He was the first to discover the etiological (causitive) agent of disease by isolation. He was also the first to take a picture of a microbe.
Who is Koch
100
Small organisms that can't been seen without a microscope.
What are microbes
100
Observation, Question, Hypothesis, Experiment, Results, and Conclusion
What are the steps in the scientific method
100
They lack a nucleus, are small, unicellular, and use binary fission to reproduce. The first one has a cell wall with peptidoglycan, is ubiquitous, and can cause disease. The second has a cell wall without peptidoglycan, are often found in extreme environments, and do not cause disease.
What is Bacteria and Archaea; the two types of Prokaryotes
200
He developed the taxonomic system for naming all living organsims
Who is Linnaeus
200
He developed a technique for applying different stains to different groups of bacteria, allowing them to be identified based on their cell wall composition.
Who is Gram
200
They can be used are decomposers, used for bioremediation (clean up toxic chemicals), food production, antibiotic production, gene therapy, protection from disease, and cause of disease.
What is the importance of microbes
200
A basic protocol for problem solving Foundation for discovery and investigation Objective and rational investigation of phenomena
What is The Scientific Method
200
These Eukaryotes can be uni or multicellular, they're autotrophic, and categorized based on color and composition of cell wall.
What is Algae
300
He proved biogenesis once and for all therefore developing the Germ Theory of Disese
Who is Pasteur
300
He was the first to discover how to build immunity to pathogens through vaccination.
Who is Jenner
300
Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes
What are the two main types of Microbes
300
Experimental Variable, Control Group, Test/experiment group, Large sample size
What are the 4 components of a good experiment?
300
Both of these are more difficult to kill than bacteria, they're heterotrophic/decomposer and have a cell wall of chitin. The first is multicellular, produces a cottony growth, and reproduces sexually or asexually. The second is unicellular, and reproduces asexually via budding.
What are molds and yeasts, two types of Fungi which are Eukaryotes.
400
Required medical students to wash their hands after dealing with cadavers and prior to entering a delivery room; thereby reducing the mortality rate in birthing mothers.
Who is Simmelweis
400
He laid the foundation for Epidemiology (the study of the spread and possible prevention of disease) by studying a Cholera outbreak in London.
Who is Snow
400
Bacteria and Archaea
What are the two types of Prokaryotes
400
Does not receive experimental variable
What is the control group
400
These Eukaryotes are unicellular, heterotrophic, aquatic, reproduce sexually or asexually, and are classified by their method of locomotion.
What are Protozoa
500
He applied Pasteur's germ theory of disease to try and prevent infection in wounds by spraying them with chemical disinfectant.
Who is Lister
500
He discovered the first antibiotic, penicillin (a chemical created by a fungi); leading to the birth of modern Chemotherapy. The treatment of deisease with chemicals
Who is Fleming
500
Fungi, Protozoa, Algae, and Helminths
What are the types of Eukaryotes
500
The experimental variable
What is the ONE variable to be changed in an experiment
500
These Eukaryotes are multicellular animals, most are free living, very few are parasitic/cause disease. Two main groups are Flatworms and Roundworms (nematodes).
What are Helminths
