Microbes

Front 1

recombinant DNA

Back 1

deliberately alter DNA switch genetic material from one organism to another.

Front 2

Bacteria are easily genetically engineered because of their adaptability to _______

Back 2

changes in their genetic makeup.

Front 3

Bioremediation

Back 3

Introduction of microbes into the environment to restore stability or to clean up toxic pollutants.

Front 4

Pathogens

Back 4

Nearly 2,000 microbes that cause disease.

Front 5

Malaria kills _____every year.
It is caused by a ______.

Back 5

more than a million people.

Front 6

Diseases caused by microorganisms.

Back 6

-Influenza and pneumonia
-Septicemia (bloodstream infec.)
-Respiratory infections
-HIV/AIDS
- Diarrheal diseases
-Tuberculosis.
-measles, Hep. B, tetanus, parasitic disease

Front 7

Recently identified diseases that causes mortality/morbidity are _______?

Back 7

SARS, AIDS, hepatitis C, and viral encephalitis

Front 8

roles of microorganisms in certain diseases:

Back 8

-infertility caused by Chlamydia
-malignancies such as liver (hepatitis virus), cervical cancer (human papillomavirus)

Front 9

Microorganisms are groups of organisms called:

Back 9

Bacteria (E.Coli), fungi (Thamnidium), protozoa (Vorticella), algae (Volvox and Spirogyra), viruses (Herpes simplex), and parasitic worms/Helminth (Taenia solium).

Front 10

Difference between eukaryotic cells and prockaryotic cells

Back 10

Prokaryotes: smaller than eukaryotes. Lack special structures such as nucleus and organelles. ALl pro are microorganisms, but not all euk.

Front 11

Organelles are _____

Back 11

Small membrane bound cell structures that perform specific functions in eukarotic cells.

Front 12

Bodies of most microorganisms consist of

Back 12

single cell or just a few cells.

Front 13

Viruses

Back 13

- not cells. Small particles that exist at a complex molecule.
-more simpler than cells.
-composes of small amount of hereditary material wrapped up in a protein covering.
-highly dependent on a host cell's machinery for their activities.

Front 14

most microorganisms live a free existence in places such as soil/water and are harmless. Derive all food from nonliving environment. Some require interaction with other organisms..cAlled?

Back 14

Parasites. They are harbored/nourished by other living organisms, called hosts. Action cause damage to its hose through infection/disease.

Front 15

Most microorganisms are measured in micrometeres except for?

Back 15

Helminths are measured in millimeteres, and viruses are emasured in nanometeres.

Front 16

Range of electron microsocpe:

Levels of Classification

Back 19

kingdom,phylum,class, order, family, genus

Front 20

protists

Back 20

lack tissue differentiation. (simple organisms).

Front 21

5 subdivisions of kingdom-
