Exam 1: The Evolution of Microorganisms and Microbiology

Definition of life includes all of the following except

Cells with a relatively simple cell morphology that do not have a true membrane-delimited nucleus are called

Microbial __________ are scientists who investigate the synthesis of antibiotics and toxins,the production of energy with microorganisms,and the ways in which microorganisms survive harsh environmental conditions.

Protists contain all of the following forms of life except

The concept that human and animal diseases are caused by microorganisms is called the

Archaea are cellular organisms that have unique cell membrane __________.

Extant microorganisms are organisms from the fossil record that are no longer present on Earth today.

The usefulness of agar in solidifying microbiological growth media is limited because it does not remain solid at temperatures above 28^oC.

Studies by Emil von Behring and Shibasaburo Kitasato demonstrated that inactivated toxins can induce the synthesis of antitoxins in the blood of rabbits.These antitoxins (antibodies)are the basis of

The branch of microbiology that deals with diseases of humans and animals is called __________ microbiology.

The relationship between specific bacteria and specific diseases was first demonstrated by Koch.

Edward Jenner's work in preventing rabies led to the use of the term vaccination to describe a type of procedure used in the prevention of disease.

Who is credited with developing a vaccine against chicken cholera?

All eukaryotes have a membrane-delimited nucleus.

The criteria for establishing a causative link between a particular microorganism and a particular disease were first proposed by Jacob Henle.

Invisible living creatures were thought to exist and cause disease long before they were ever observed. Blooms Level: 2.Understand Section: 01.03

Viruses are not generally studied by microbiologists because they are not classified as living organisms.

Agar is used as a solidifying agent for microbiological media because it is not readily digested by most microorganisms.

Robert Koch developed a vaccine that could be used to prevent anthrax.

Fanny Hesse first suggested that agar be used to solidify microbiological media.
