Where is Bacteria found?

On or in just about every material and environment on Earth.

100

What are fungi?

Any of a group of spore-producing organisms feeding on organic matter, including molds, yeast, mushrooms, and toadstools

What is a Virus?

A submicroscopic infectious agent that replicates only inside the living cells of an organism

100

What is agar?

A solution that enhances the growth of bacteria.

Tiny living things that are found all around us and are too small to be seen by the naked eye. 



Microbe

List three diseases Fungi can cause from our PowerPoint:

Athlete's foot

Ringworm

Yeast infections

Most biologists consider viruses to be_________ because they don’t exhibit all the criteria for life

Three main areas of Pathology from our PowerPoint?

1.  Bacteria

2.  Fungi

3. Viruses

List three benefits of Bacteria from our PowerPoint:

  • Making drugs, such as antibiotics and vaccines.

  • Making biogas, such as methane.

  • Cleaning up oil spills and toxic wastes.

  • Killing plant pests.

  • Transferring normal genes to human cells in gene therapy.

  • Fermenting foods

300

List three Benefits of Fungi

  • The majority of grasses and trees require a mycorrhizal relationship with fungi to survive.

  • Yeasts have been used for thousands of years in the production of beer, wine, and bread.

  • Fungi not only directly produce substances that humans use as medicine, but they are also versatile tools in the vast field of medical research.

  • Some fungi attack insects and, therefore, can be used as natural pesticides.

A cell in which a virus replicates is called the____

host cell

List three portals of exit from our PowerPoint

By coughing or sneezing

Through removal of blood

By an insect bite

In the feces 

Through an open lesion

In the urine

Bacteria are classified into four groups according to their basic shapes. Can you name them?

Spherical (cocci)

Rod (bacilli)

Spiral (spirilla)

Comma (vibrios)

List four Examples of Fungi from our PowerPoint:

Mushrooms

Toothed Fungus

Puffball

Yeast

Mold

400

What are the two Viral Replication Cycles from our PowerPoint?

Lytic cycle

Lysogenic cycle

400

List three disease categories from our PowerPoint

Food and Water borne - pathogen is in a food or water source


Blood Borne - carried in blood or other bodily fluids 


Zoonotic - carried by animals


Airborne - carried by the air, often affect respiratory tract

500

List at least five parts of the structure of Bacteria and their functions.

 

Cell wall

Protects and gives shape 

Outer Membrane

Protects against antibodies

Cell Membrane 

Regulates movement of materials, contains enzymes important to cellular respiration 

Cytoplasm

Contains DNA, ribosomes, essential compounds 

Chromosome 

Carries genetic information. It is circular

Plasmid

Contains some genes obtained through recombination

Capsule & Slime Layer

Protects the cell and assist in attaching cell to other surfaces

Endospore

Protects cell against harsh environments

Pilus

Assists the cell in attaching to other surfaces

Flagellum

Moves the cell

500

What popular Medicine comes from Fungi?

Penicillin

500

How are viruses named?

the diseases they cause

or the organ or tissue they infect

Today, most viruses are given a genus name ending in the word “virus” and a species name
