Anyone Van Leeuwenhoek |
Credited with being the first to create a microscope and observe microorganisms |
|
Robert Hooke |
Coined the term cell. Credited with cell theory. |
|
Cell theory |
All living things are composed of cells |
|
Schleiden and schwann |
Credited with cell theory |
|
Rudolph Virchow |
Credited with the biogenisis theory |
|
Biogenisis theory |
All living organisms are composed of cells and must come from previously living calls |
|
Spontaneous Generation |
Life can arise spontaneously from nonliving matter |
|
Louis Pastuer |
Disproved spontaneous Generation. Theory by showing that microorganisms are in the air and can contaminate a seemingly sterile solution. But the air doesn't create the microbes
Fermentation was caused by microorganisms
Invented Pasteurization process Microorganisms cause pneumonia |
|
Pasteurization Process |
If you heat something like beer milk or wine you can kill most of the bacteria that cause the spoilage. |
|
Germ Theory |
Certain microorganisms can cause certain diseases |
|
Immunization |
Artificial exposure to a foreign agent to help the body develop a resistance to the agent. |
|
Vaccination |
Introduction of a pathogen into the body by artificial means Same as immunization |
|
Joseph Lister |
Developed aseptic techniques |
|
Mad Cow Disease |
Caused by a protein called prion. This protein is folded the wrong way and causes other proteins to fold the same way |
|
Paul Ehrlich |
Developed the first antibiotic substance Called salvarsan which treated syphilis |
|
Alexander felming |
Discovered penicillin by accident. The first antibiotics grown for production |
|
Watson and crick |
Came up with the model of the DNA, what it looks like, and how it works |
|
Pathogen |
Disease causing organism |
|
Chemotherapy |
Use of chemicals for treatment of diseases. |
|
Synthetic drugs |
Man made drugs |
|
Antibiotics |
Substances produced by organisms to kill other organisms. |
|
Antibodies |
Proteins produced by lymphocytes in your immune system to fight against pathogens |
|
Flora |
Beneficial bacteria that lives in or on you |
|
Gram (+) & Gram (-) |
Classification of organisms based on the type of cell wall Used as a way to organize bacteria |

|
Organism classification subgroups |
Kingdom Division Class Order Genus Species |
|
Binomial Nomenclature |
THe use of two names to organize or group |
|
Whittaker |
3 kingdoms, then later 5 kingdoms |
|
5 kingdoms |
1. Animals - tissues/ingest food/multicellular 2. Plants - make own food/photosynthetic 3. Protista 4. Fungi 5. Monera |
|
3 domains |
Eukaryotic Prokaryotic Archea |
|
Prokaryotic Traits |
No nucleus No nuclear membrane Have ribosomes No ensomembrane Has cell wall and membrane Single circular double stranded chromosomes |
|
Eukaryotic |
Enclosed nucleus Doesn't always have a cell wall Has cell membrane Has ribosomes Has ensomembrane system |
|
Genome |
All of the genetic information for an organism |
|
Ribosomes |
Made of rrna and proteins |
|
Basis for organism classification |
1. Shape, arrangement 2. Chemical comp of cell wall (gram + or gram -) 3. Nutritional requirements 4. Enzyme presence or metabolic activity 5. Source of energy *organic, inorganic or light |
|
Kingdom fungi characteristics |
Eukaryotic Unicellular or multicellular Cell wall is made of chitin Reproduces sexually, asexually, or by binary fission Heterotrophic and absorptive - gets food from outside source, absorbs food |
|
Kingdom protista Characteristics |
Unicellular with some multicellular colonies |
|
Beneficial use of microbes |
1. Food production 2. O2 production 3. Nitrogen production 4. Sewage treatment 5. Insect and pest control 6. Industrial production 7.GMO |
|
Acid |
Any substance that gives off hydrogen ions in solution |
|
Base |
Any substance that gives off an hydroxyde ion in solution |
|
Carbohydrates |
ORGANIC 1:2:1 Carbon Hydrogen Oxygen Gives energy and structure |
|
