Linnaeus - Correct Answer-established the system of scientific nomenclature. Genus and Species - Correct Answer-Two names of any organism. Serotypes - Correct Answer-Most bacterial species contain subspecies or what which are variations within a species. Three Domains - Correct Answer-Eubacteria Archaea Eukaryotes Bacteria - Correct Answer-Prokaryotes Unicellular

Peptidoglycan is found in their cell wall Reproduce by binary fission Extremely diverse What do bacteria do for energy? - Correct Answer-For energy, bacteria may use organic chemicals, inorganic chemicals, or photosynthesis depending on species. Archaea - Correct Answer-Prokaryotes similar to bacteria Unicellular Lack peptidoglycan Usually live in extreme environments Have not changed structure and physiology for centuries Fungi - Correct Answer-Eukaryotes Chitin in cell walls Use organic chemicals for energy (not photosynthetic) Larger than bacteria, some reproduce sexually Many produce reproductive structures like mushrooms and sporangia. Protozoa - Correct Answer-Eukaryotes Absorb or ingest organic chemicals Very few species are photosynthetic Some are serious parasites in humans Mostly unicellular and motile via pseudopods, cilia, or flagella Algae - Correct Answer-Eukaryotes Cellulose cell walls Unicellular and Multicellular forms usually found in aquatic systems Use photosynthesis for energy Produce molecular oxygen and organic compounds Are a food source for many organisms Viruses - Correct Answer-Acellular (non-living) Consist of DNA or RNA core Obligate intracellular parasites When are viruses replicated? - Correct Answer-Viruses are only replicated when they are in a living host cell

Antibiotics - Correct Answer-chemicals produced by bacteria and fungi that inhibit or kill other microbes. Paul Ehrlich - Correct Answer-1910; developed and synthetic arsenic drug, salvarsan, to treat syphilis. Sulfonamides - Correct Answer-1930s; were synthesized and are commonly prescribed as sulfa-drugs Alexander Fleming - Correct Answer-1928; discovered the first antibiotic on accident; penicillin. Biotechnology - Correct Answer-is the use of microbes to produce food and chemicals Genetic Engineering - Correct Answer-through this, bacteria and fungi can produce a variety of proteins including vaccines and enzymes. Gene Therapy - Correct Answer-missing or defective genes in human cells can be replaced by this. Genetically Modified Bacteria - Correct Answer-are used to protect crops from insects and freezing. Resistance - Correct Answer-the ability of the body to ward off disease. Zaccharias Janseen - Correct Answer-is credited with making the first compound microscope in the 17th century. Joseph Listers Father - Correct Answer-made the first one capable of viewing microbes in the mid-19th century. Compound Microscope - Correct Answer-the image from the objective lens is modified again by an ocular lens. Illuminator - Correct Answer-Light source Condenser - Correct Answer-lenses that direct light rays through the specimen.

Resolution - Correct Answer-the ability of the lenses to distinguish two points and fine detail and structure. Refractive Index - Correct Answer-is a measure of the light-bending ability of a medium. Immersion Oil - Correct Answer-is used to keep light from bending. Brightfield Illumination - Correct Answer-Dark objects are visible against a bright background Most small specimens are killed and stained with colored dyes. Some larger and motile specimens may be viewed. Darkfield Illumination - Correct Answer-Light objects are visible against a dark background Used to examine living or unstained organisms suspended in liquid. Smear - Correct Answer-a thin film of a solution of microbes on a slide Chromophore - Correct Answer-dye that carries a charged particle Mesophiles - Correct Answer-25-40 degrees Celsius Thermophiles - Correct Answer-70-80 degrees Celsius Psychrophiles - Correct Answer-15 degrees Celsius Psychrotrophs - Correct Answer-22 degrees Celsius Carbon - Correct Answer-is required by all organisms to form structural organic molecules and as an energy source. Nitrogen - Correct Answer-is a limiting factor in many ecosystems and is found in amino acids and proteins Sulfur - Correct Answer-is found in amino acids, thiamine, and biotin. Phosphorus - Correct Answer-is found in DNA, RNA, ATP, and membranes.
