Unit 1 Study Guide
Chapter 1
- Which one of the following is not a role for bioremediation?
Curing infectious diseases
- All of the following are examples of new emerging infectious diseases except
Chickenpox
- Normal microbiota: Beneficial microbial inhabitants of the body
- Golden Age of Microbiology: Rapid discovery of basic microbiology principles - Re-emerging diseases: Once controlled by preventative public health measures they are now on the rise - Prions: Resistant to the usual sterilization procedures for pathogens - Spontaneous generation: The converse of biogenesis - Acellular infectious agent: Chemical composition includes RNA or DNA
- In the scientific name Bacillus anthracis, the term Bacillus is the genus name
- include the agents responsible for stomach ulcers and plague: Bacteria
- are prokaryotes: Bacteria
- impart distinctive flavors in foods such as yogurt and cheese: Bacteria - are obligate intracellular parasites: Viruses - have a protein coat that surrounds the genetic information: Viruses - include molds and yeasts: Fungi - contain the protozoa and algae: Protists - derive their energy from degrading organic materials: Fungi - are the most metabolically diverse group: Bacteria
- Which one of the following sequences exhibits increasing size?
Viruses to bacteria to protozoa
- Which one of the following would be consistent with the idea of spontaneous generation? Sick people give rise to microorganisms in their body
Chapter 3
- The gram stain technique is valuable in distinguishing: different types of bacteria
One of the below is wrong - permit eukaryotic motility: Flagella - are involved in group translocation: Chromosomes - Contain components of the electron transport chain for ATP generation: Plasma Membranes - may have peritrichous or polar arrangements: Flagella - are linear rods contained within a nucleus: Chromosomes - replication is followed by binary fission: Chromosomes - are closed circular
