front 1 morphology | back 1 the shape of an organism’s cells |
front 2 culture | back 2 grow bacteria from samples to observe how grow and gross morphology |
front 3 diagnostic microbiology | back 3 isolate and identify bacteria from a patient sample |
front 4 normal flora | back 4 bacteria that live with us all the time |
front 5 pure cultures | back 5 samples with only one type of bacteria, necessary for accurate study |
front 6 Petri dish | back 6 clear plastic container used to culture bacteria |
front 7 colonies | back 7 the groups bacteria grow in |

front 19 How do cocci group? | back 19 individual cells, groups of two (diplococci), four (tetrad), eight, or form chains |
front 20 How do spirilla group? | back 20 always individual cells |
front 21 Gram stain | back 21 a test that differentiates bacteria into one of two groups based on their cell wall composition |
