Crossword CPA #20 Flashcards
ie. when an infectious agent has an epitope that is similar to or identical to a self-antigen; may be a cause of autoimmunity
molecular mimicry
use of microbes in manufacturing and to solve environmental, health, and agricultural problems
industrial microbiology
the study of the relationships between microbes and the environment
microbial ecology
ie. the temperature of the earth continues to slowly and gradually rise year after year
greenhouse effect
disease that results by own body overstimulating the thyroid gland
graves disease
use of microbes in food production and the prevention of food spoilage/illness due to microbes
food microbiology
aka enlarged thyroid
goiter
when the immune system produces antibodies or cytotoxic T cells that target normal body cells
autoimmunity
food that is nutrient rich; must be refrigerated at all times
perishable
disease caused by the inability to make B or T cells; aka “bubble girl”

used by HIV to form dsDNA
reverse transcriptase
specific cells targeted by HIV
helper T cells
results from cytotoxic T cells that destroy the hosts myelin sheath

yeast used to help bread rise
saccharomyces cerevisiae
part of body destroyed by own body and results in the development of type I diabetes
islets of langerhans
food that is dry and nutrient poor; ie. pasta
nonperishable
factors that contribute to food spoilage; ie. nutrition composition, water content, pH, presence or absence of rind or shell, snd microbial composition
intrinsic
food that is contaminated by the harmful products produced by microbes
food intoxication
food that will spoil once opened, so it must be refrigerated
semi perishable
the number of different species living in a given ecosystem
biodiversity
process used to make sauerkraut, chocolate, coffee, cheese and vinegar
fermentation
type of immunodeficiency that is detectable at birth from genetic or developmental defects
primary
factors that contribute to food spoilage; ie. processing, presence, or absence of preservatives, storage temp, and type of packaging
extrinsic
