36.

endospores is called

sporogenesis

37.

engulfing of large particles through plasma membrane

38.

Even though the germ theory of disease was not demonstrated until 1876, why did Semmelweis (1840) and Lister (1867) argue for the use of aseptic techniques?

Though the theory was not completely known, Semmelweis and Lister observed healthier or more positive results from their patients with their new procedures.

39.

Explained fermentation

Pasteur

40.

Find at least three supermarket products made by microorganisms. (Hint: The label will state the scientific name of the organism or include the word culture, fermented, or brewed.)

Yogurt, beer, cheese.

41.

Lister

43.

Formation of new cell from an endospore is

germination

44.

formed by shared electrons

covalent bond

45.

forms secondary structure of proteins

Hydrogen bond

46.

Fungi

47.

Giraffes, termites, and koalas eat only plant matter. Since animals cannot digest cellulose, how do you suppose these animals get nutrition from the leaves and wood that they ingest?

The animals have cellulose-degrading bacteria in specialized stuctures in the digestive tracts.

48.

mordant

54.

How did the theory of biogenesis led the way for the germ theory of disease?

Koch would then be able to hypothesize what may be causing a disease (a living organism) enabling him to conjecture what he should observe in a sick host.

55.

In Gram stain, one step could be omitted and still allow between gram-positive and gram-negative cells. What is that one step?

Step 1 can be omitted. Safranin can be omitted.

People believed all microbial disease would be controlled during the twentieth century. List three reasons why we are identifying new diseases now.

Microorganisms are ubiquitous; it would take a great effort to catalogue all the species.Microorganisms mutate into different strains; thus new diseases are created. With the leaps of technology, people may now engineer new strains.

increases intracelluar solute concentration bringing it closer to that of the hyperosmotic excellular environment & thus reducing the severity of plasmolysis.
