28
Q

What were the two methods taught in lab?

A

Wet mounting and fixed mounting.

29
Q

What are wet mounting techniques usually used for?

A

To view living, mobile organisms.

30
Q

What are fixed mounts for?

A

“Used to ‘affix’ organisms onto the glass slide.” As it grants better visualization without having to constantly adjust the field of view.

31
Q

What are fixed mounts commonly used for?

A

Commonly used for bacterial smear identification, cell counting methodologies, and diagnoses of infections, among others.

32
Q

What is the technique wherein dyes are used to stain cells to increase contrast, making them more visible when viewing under the microscope.

A

Staining techniques

33
Q

The adherence to the similarly-charged cell components would dictate how much colour is deposited means that the dye is ___.

A

Charged

34
Q

This is a differential staining method which distinguishes bacteria from each other based on how thick their bacterial cell walls are.

A

Gram-staining

35
Q

Nave a thick cell wall, allowing it to trap more stain in the matrix of its cytoplasm, making the cells look bright purple.

A

Gram-positive bacteria

36
Q

Have a thinner layer of peptidoglycan, making the dye easier to rinse off, resulting in a fainter, more pinkish stain.

A

Gram-negative bacteria,

37
Q

Refers to the variability among living organisms from all sources, including, among other things, terrestrial, marine, and other aquatic ecosystems, and the ecological complexes of which they are part.

A

Biological diversity or biodiversity

38
Q

What year was the Red List established?

A

1964

39
Q

What organization established the Red List? / What does IUCN mean?

A

International Union on the Conservation of Nature (IUCN)

40
Q

How many species have been assessed for the IUCN Red List

A

150,388

41
Q

According to the IUCN, more than _____ species are threatened with extinction worldwide, constituting 28% of all assessed species.

A

42,100

42
Q

These are species that have not undergone the stringent Red List assessment yet.

A

Not Evaluated

43
Q

There is inadequate information to make an assessment on the species’ extinction risk factor.

A

Data Deficient (DD)

44
Q

A species’ habitat, presence, and abundance has been evaluated, and it does not qualify for special action.

A

Least Concern (LC)

45
Q

A species was evaluated using the Red List criteria, and is found to be close to being threatened with loss of abundance.

A

Near Threatened (NT)

46
Q

A taxon is considered to be facing a high risk of extinction in the wild.

A

Vulnerable (VU)

46
Q

A species is considered to be facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild.

A

Endangered (EN)

47
Q

The species is facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild, with abundances limited to a few hundred individuals left.

A

Critically Endangered (CR)

48
Q

A species is only known to survive in captivity or as a naturalised population outside its natural distribution range, and field surveys over a reasonable time frame result in no sightings in the wild.

A

Extinct in the Wild (EW)

49
Q

This is for species who, without a reasonable doubt, is believed that the last individual has died, and even through exhaustive field surveys in their assumed habitats at appropriate times throughout its historic range have failed to record an individual.

A

Extinct (EX)

50
Q

What year was the CITES put into action?

A

1975

51
Q

What does CITES stand for?

A

Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora

52
Q

How many countries adopted the CITES?

A

180

53
Q

Responsible for regulating international trade in threatened plants and animal species, as well as trade in wildlife or their parts–such as elephant ivory and turtle eggs.

A

CITES

54
Q

Species that fall under this listing are those threatened with extinction, and to which receives the highest level of CITES protection. Any form of commercial trade is not permitted for organisms listed in this Appendix, and non-commercial trade is strictly controlled by requiring permits reviewed and granted by regulatory bodies.

A

Appendix I

55
Q

Species that fall under this listing are not necessarily threatened with extinction, but their trade must be controlled to avoid overexploitation which will contribute to increased losses that will drive extinction. Any trade that occurs under this Appendix requires an export permit or certificate approved by CITES’ regulatory bodies.

A

Appendix II

56
Q

Found in this list are species protected in at least one country, and that country has acquired the assistance of CITES to control its trade.

A

Appendix III

57
Q

Refers to the different kinds or types of organisms in an area

A

Taxonomic diversity

58
Q

Simplified version of taxonomic diversity.

A

Species diversity

59
Q

The most basic method of measuring biodiversity.

A

Raw species count

60
Q

The number of species in an area.

A

Species richness

61
Q

Takes into account abundances in species.

A

Species evenness

62
Q

Combination of Species richness and Species evenness.

A

Diversity index

63
Q

Refers to diversity within a particular area, community, or ecosystem, and is usually measured by counting the number of taxa within the ecosystem (usually species level).

A

Alpha-diversity

64
Q

Focuses on relative species richness and abundance, and / or the pattern of species distribution.

A

Simpson Index and the Shannon Index

65
Q

Comparisons of ecosystems in determining changes over time in a given region.

A

Beta-diversity

66
Q

On an even larger scale, measurement of the overall or total biodiversity for the different ecosystems within a region

A

Gamma-diversity

67
Q

Pertains to landscape diversity of habitats within a landscape or region.

A

Gamma-diversity

68
Q

This indicates the difference and variation in species richness between two different habitats or within a single community at different points in time, comparing the number of taxa that are unique to each ecosystem being contrasted.

A

Beta-diversity
