Q

advantages of using scientific names?

A
  • recognized by scientists throughout the world
  • each species= one name
  • related creatures may have the same genus but different species name

Q

why are microbes important

A

some microbes,pathogens, make you sick others can break down fiber in your gut

by studying it we can know why and how to cure/use sickness and benefits

17
Q

5 characteristics of Monera?

A
  1. prokaryotic
  2. single cellular
  3. single chromosome+plasmids
  4. reproduce by binary fission
  5. shows great metabolic diversity
18
Q

3 shape of bacteria?

A

circular=cocci
rod shaped = bacilli
spiral shaped= sperilla

19
Q

obligate anaerobes?

A

any grow in absence of oxygen

20
Q

obligate aerobes?

A

bacteria must have oxygen

21
Q

facultative anaerobes m?

A

grow with or withought oxygen

22
Q

fermentation?

A

glucose broken doe withought oxygen

23
Q

binary fission?

A

splitting into two offspring

24
Q

fermentation or cellular respiration produces more energy?

A

cellular respiration produces more energy because it fully breaks down carbon bonds

25
Q

endoscope formation?

A

survival mode of replication. form an endospore (Dna in tough protein capsule) when cell does the endospore remains waiting to germinate in right conditions

26
Q

pathogens?

A

bacteria virus or other micro organisms that can cause disease

27
Q

antibiotics?

A

chemical produced synthetically or by microorganisms a that inhibit growth or destroy certain other microorganisms

28
Q

how does antibiotic resistance appear/occur?

A

develops from mutations within a bacteria population

29
Q

difference between antiseptic and disinfectant ?

A

antiseptic: chemical agents to prevent infection
disinfectant: chemical agents user to disinfect

30
Q

charecterisisct of protists?

A
  • microscopic
  • unicellular
  • eukaryotic
31
Q

compare heterotrophs and autotrophs

A

heterotrophs: obtain food produced by others
autotrophs: produce own food by photosynthesis+ chemosynthesis

36
Q

endoplasm vs ectoplasm?

A

endoplasm=clear outer cytoplasmic layer

endoplasm= inner granule-rich cytoplasm

37
Q

pseudopodia?

A

“false feet” temporary cytoplasm-filled parts of cell wall that change form to move/find food

38
Q

what is taxonomy?

A

the science of classification
