Study of microorganisms that includes unicellular, multicellular, or acellular

Microbiology

Study of parasites and their hosts and their relationships with each other

Parasitology

Organisms change over time as a result of changes in heritable physical or behavioral traits

Theory of Evolution

Who is the man behind the theory of evolution?

Charles Darwin

Is the production of new living organisms or organelles

Biogenesis

Is the natural process by which life has arisen from non living matter, such as simple organic compounds

Abiogenesis

States that many diseases are caused by the presence and actions of specific microorganism within the body.

Germ Theory

Name 7 microbes

Bacteria, virus, fungi, protozoa, algae, archaea, lichen

Includes bacteria and archaea.


They are unicelular

Prokaryotes

Unicellular


Prokaryotic (no distinct nucleus)


Cell walls composed of carbohydrates and protein complex called peptidoglycan

Bacteria

-Can swim using appendages called flagella


-reproduce by dividing into 2 equal cells and process called binary fission

spherical/ovoid

Cocci

Rodlike

Bacilli

Corkscrew/ curve

Spiral

Spirals which are helical and flexicle

Spirochetes

-Have cell walls composed of a substance called chitin



-unicellular/multicellular

Fungi

-Yeasts, molds


Mold form visible masses called

Hyphae

mold mycelia

Bread and fruit

Organisms with nucleus containing DNA surrounded by special envelope nuclear membrane

Eukaryotes

Unicellular; get nutrients from living house move by pseudopods, flagella or cilia

Protozoa

Amoeba move using extensions of the cytoplasm called pseudopods (false feet)

unicellular; produce oxygen and carbohydrate;


can do photosynthesis

Algae

Acellular;


Contain one type of nucleic acid DNA or RNA


Virus

Any of the many thallophytic plantlike organisms that consists of a symbiotic association of algae or cyanobacteria and fungu

Lichen

Used by humans as food, sources of medicine and dye, provide food supply for the caribou and reindeer

He discovered the cell ;


Marked the beginning of cell theory that all living things have cells


Robert Hooke (1665)

Microchips lacked striking technique

(1673-1723) First to observe live microorganism using magnifying lens "animalcules" saw it through his single lens microscope

Anton van Leeuwenhoek

Author of Spontaneous Generations (life could arise spontaneously from non living matter)

1668


-3 open jars w/ meat (has maggots)


-3 closed jars w/ meat (no maggots)


-3 open jars w/ gauze (no maggots even air can enter )

Francisco Redi

1745


-He found that after heating nutrient fluids before pouring into covered flask, the cooled solution soon had microorganisms.



-He claimed that microbes developed spontaneously from the fluids.

John Needham

1765


-Suggested that germs from the air probably entered Needham's solution after they were boiled.


-showed that nutrient fluids heated after being sealed in a flask did not develop judicial growth

Lazzaro Spallanzani

Responded that vital force is necessary for spontaneous generation were developed by heat.

-Showed the impotence of 0 to life


-criticized that there was not enough oxygen in the sealed flasks

Laurent Lavoisier

He said that microbes are present in the air and can contaminate sterile solution but air itself does not create germs

Louis Pasteur

Resolved the issue of spontaneous generation

Used phenol (carbolic acid) to kill bacteria in surgical wounds

Joseph Lister

Established a sequence of experimental steps for directly relating a specific microbe to a specific disease known as koch's postulate

Robert Koch

He fired the 1st shot of chemotherapy revolution Salvarsam drug for syphilis

Paul Ehrlich

He discovered penicillin from fungus

Alexander Fleming

-To magnify diff types of soil


-used by palmist, skin specialist, to see details of stamp

Simple microscope

Magnify up to 1000;


Very short focal length and eyepiece with longer focal length

Compound microscope

-Dna is not enclosed within a membrane


-Has one circular chromosomes


-DNA is not associated with histones


-Lack membrane enclosed organelles


-Cell walls contain polysaccharide peptidoglycan


-binary fission

Prokaryotes

-DNA is found in the cells nucleus-Has multiple chromosomes-sssociated with histones-have a number of membrane enclosed organelles-Cell walls are present-divided by mitosis

Eukaryotes

If the substance is unorganized and only loosely attached to the cell wall

Slime layer

Which flagella arrangement that is distributed over the entire cell

Peritrichous

Divides in 3 planes and remain attached in cube like groups of 8

Sarcinae

Those that divide in multiple places and form growls clusters or broad sheets

Staphylococci

Bacterias that look like curved rods

Vibrios

A protein found in the hair like appendages and hard for attachment of some gram negative bacteria.

Pilin

Can occur at the poles of the bacteria cell or they can be evenly distribute over the entire surface if the cell.

Fimbriae

Usually longer than fimbriae and only one or or 2 every cell joins bacterial cell in preparation for the transfer of DNA from one cell to another

Pili

Prevent bacterial cell from rupturing


Maintains shape of bacteria

Cell wall

A type of passive proces wherein the net movement of molecules is from high to low concentration

Simple diffusion

Site of protein synthesis, site of some antibiotic action

Ribosomes

The process in which pseudopods are used to engulf particles and bring them into the cell and used by WBC to destroy bacteria substances

Phagocytosis

Fluid portion of cytoplasm

Cytosol

Threadlike mass that appears when the DNA and its associated proteins are not reproducing.

Chromatin

Part of the microscope where a steady light source is used in place of a mirror

Illuminator
