Protozoa
100
This area of microbiology is concerned with the occurence of disease in the human population.
What is epidemiology?
100
This type of media is characterized by containing an undefined nutrient source (like beef extract) as one of its ingredients.
What is nonsynthetic or complex media?
100
These organisms are not considered living because they cannot reproduce without the help of host cells.
What are viruses?
100
Algae are which: anaerobic or aerobic eukaryotes or prokaryotes
What is aerobic and eukaryotes?
100
A strawberry cervix is diagnostic of what protazoa infection
What is trichomonas vaginalis?
200
This process involves the deliberate alteration (changing) of an organisms DNA to make it do something it may not ordinarily do.
Biotechnology?
200
This material comes from red algae is used to solidify media.
What is agar?
200
These long structures are the primary locomotion (movement) structures in bacteria.
What are flagella?
200
Kelp and seaweed are macroscopic and can also be called...
What is red and brown algae
200
Protozoa obtain nutrition in what way
What is phagocytosis or absorption?
300
This early microbiological pioneer is credited with developing the very first microscope.
Who is Anton van Leeuwenhoek?
300
This type of culture contains more than one known species.
What is a mixed culture?
300
This structure is used by gram negative bacteria for the transfer of DNA from cell to cell.
What are pili?
300
This rapid-spreading, colorless algae led to the Irish potato blight in the 1850's by infecting potato plants
What is phytophthora infestans?
300
This protozoa infection causes amoebic meningoencephalitis (severe head ache, fever, disorientation, leading to coma and death <10days) and is inhaled via water spray in swimming pools
What is naegleria fowleri?
400
This process refers to the spontaneous generation of organisms from nonliving matter.
What is Abiogenesis?
400
This feature of a microscope is improved as the wavelength of light decreases.
What is resolution?
400
This structure is located outside the cell wall of bacteria and can take the form of a capsule or a slime layer.
What is the glycocalyx.
400
Unicellular, bioluminescent algea with flagella that can cause major fish kills by producing toxins that shellfish and fish ingest.
What are dinoflagellates?
400
Female mosquitos transmit the disease malaria, caused by this protozoa organism, also explain the two life cycles this protozoa has
What is plasmodium falciparum...in tropical and subtropical regions...one life cycle is in humans (in the liver) the other is in mosquitos. Symptoms include fever chills weakness anemia spleen enlargement and possibly death
500
This early microbiologist is most responsible for finally laying the theory of spontaneous generation to rest.
Who is Louis Pasteur?
500
This type of microscope takes advantage of differences in the density of the specimen to show good images of the inside of cells.
What is the phase contrast microscope?
500
These structures are produced by bacteria as a means of survival when they are exposed to environmentally adverse conditions.
What are endospores?
500
The symbiotic relationship between algae, _____ and ______ result in ______ which grow on rock surfaces and tree trunk
What is fungi and cyanobacteria resulting in lichens
500
The protozoa causing African Sleeping Sickness, mode of transmission, ans symptoms
What is trypanosoma brucei gambiense, transmitted by the tsetse fly and other biting insects, symptoms include extensive swelling of the lymph nodes, anemia/cardiac/endocrine/kidney disease; encephalitis and menigitis and bouts of confusion with coma like sleep during the day.
