Antimicrobials, antifungal, disinfectants and antiseptics

Question 1

bacteria

Answer 1

unicellular organisms that have cell walls but lack organelles and an organized nucleus

Question 2

gram positive

Answer 2

simple bacteria with a thick cell wall. absorbs antibiotics and other cleaning products easier; easier to kill

Question 3

gram negative

Answer 3

more complex cell wall, more difficult to treat or kill

Question 4

aerobes

Answer 4

bacteria that have oxygen to live and replicate

Question 5

anaerobes

Answer 5

bacteria that are able to live and multiply without oxygen

Question 6

virus

Answer 6

infective agents that typically consist of a nuclei acid molecule in a protein coat; need a host to reproduce, not easy to treat

Question 7

enveloped

Answer 7

surrounded by a lipid membrane and is more sensitive to environmental conditions

Question 8

non-enveloped

Answer 8

lack the lipid membrane and are more resistant to external environment
