MICROPARA | PRELIMS
Cards (102)
- These are organisms that are so small, a microscope is needed to study them
- These are single-celled organisms with a spherical, rod, or spiral shapes.
- These do not have a cell nucleus and lack the membrane=enclosed intracellular structures found in most other cells
- These absorb nutrients from their environment, but some make their own nutrients by photosynthesis or other synthetic processes
- These are single celled and do not have a nucleus
- Many of these are extremophiles
- These are single-celled microscopic organisms, but some are large, relatively complex, multicellular organisms
- This specie of algae causes disease in humans
- These also has a cell nucleus and intracellular structures. Some of its examples are yeasts and some molds.
- These are acellular entities too small to be seen with a light microscope
- They are composed of specific chemical substances— a nucleic acid and a few proteins
- These replicate themselves and display other properties of living organisms only when they have invaded cells
- These are acellular agents of disease with nucleic acid without a protein coating
- These are acellular agents of disease with protein without any nucleic acid
- These have been shown to cause various plant diseases
- These have been shown to cause mad cow disease and related disorders
- These are are found in a variety of water and soil environments, as well as in animals such as malaria-carrying mosquitoes.
- These obtain food by engulfing or ingesting smaller micro- organisms
- A bacterial species commonly found in the human gut si called?
- A protozoan species that can cause severe diarrhea is called?
- He associated particular signs and symptoms with certain illnesses and realized that diseases could be transmitted from one person to another by clothing or other objects.
- He observed that people who had recovered from the plague could take care of plague victims without danger of getting the disease again
- He proposed that tiny invisible animals entered the body through the mouth and nose to cause disease
- He built a compound microscope and used it to observe thin slices of cork.
- He coined the term cell to describe the orderly arrangement of small boxes he saw because they reminded him of the cells of monks.
- He was the first who made and used lenses to observe living microorganisms
- This states that microorganisms can invade other organisms and cause disease
- What is the concept called where microorganisms like worms in rotting meat, arose from nonliving things.
- What experiment was used to refute the spontaneous generation?
- He identified the bacterium that causes anthrax
- A thread was soaked in fluid from a smallpox vesicle (blister) and drawn through a small incision in the arm. What is this technique called?
- This was used to develop the first successful smallpox vaccine
- The identification these cells that defend the body against invading microorganisms was a first step in understanding immunity
- This term had been used earlier to refer to poisons and to infectious agents in general
- What is the term used for molecules who could borrow for their own use existing metabolic and replicative mechanisms of the infected cells
- This is the bacteria that stopped the growth of other bacteria
- This is the study of factors and mechanisms involved in the frequency and spread of diseases and other health-related problems within populations of humans, other animals, or plants
- This is the number of new cases contracted within a set population during a specific period of time
- This is the total number of people infected within the population at any time
- This is the number of individuals affected by adisease during a set period ni relation to the total number in the population
