🗑
show They are part of the cheese making process.  
🗑
True or False. Only one type of microorganism exist.   show
🗑
How many microns is bacteria?   show
🗑
What are the parts of a typical cell?   show
🗑
Are viruses smaller or larger than bacteria?   show
🗑
show Cocci (round) Bacillus (rods) Spirillum(spiral).  
🗑
show Visual color  
🗑
show Gram stain and the Ziehl-Neilson stain  
🗑
What are the two groups Gram Stain divides bacteria?   show
🗑
show It's bacteria that keeps the stain (purple) color, when a decolorizing agent is applied.  
🗑
show Bacteria with an outer membrane. Will not retain 1st stain. Will pick up the counterstain (safranin). Looks pink.  
🗑
Describe the Ziehl-Neilson stain   show
🗑
Describe acid fast red stain and nonacid-fast blue stain   show
🗑
show They form a spore: a thick layer around the nucleus. Spores are hard to kill and are a direct problem for Sterile Processing.  
🗑
What are the common ways to identify and classify microorganisms?   show
🗑
Some bacteria require oxygen (aerobic). Some bacteria does not require oxygen (.....).   show
🗑
show Psychrophiles Mesophiles Thermophiles  
🗑
show True  
🗑
Why do hospitals use Ultraviolet light?   show
🗑
show Viruses, fungi and protozoa  
🗑
Viruses are ____________ times_____________ than bacteria.   show
🗑
What does a virus do once it enters a plant or animal?   show
🗑
How can viruses become mobile?   show
🗑

🗑
show 8 hours, 72 hours  
🗑
show Organ recipient.  
🗑
There are 5 categories of Microorganisms according to Steris University. What are they?   show
🗑
show cell structure, DNA, means of reproduction and size  
🗑
show Microns  
🗑
show 1 or 2  
🗑
Which is smaller, bacteria or viruses?   show
🗑
What are the components of a typical cell?   show
🗑
show Keeps cell structure because it's tough.  
🗑
Describe the cell's membrane.   show
🗑
Describe the cell's cytoplasm.   show
🗑
show It protects the cell from being destroyed. Just like our white blood cells destroy bacteria in our bodies.  
🗑
show Tails that gives the cell the ability to move through liquids.  
🗑
Describe the cell's nucleus.   show
🗑
show False. The bacteria nucleus does not have a membrane that encloses the DNA. It floats without restrictions.  
🗑
True or false. Plants and animals chromosomes are enclosed in a nuclear membrane.   show
🗑
How can cells protect themselves in a hostile environment.   show
🗑
show True  
🗑
show Ultraviolet light can disinfect air and purify the environment.  
🗑
show animals.  
🗑
show Virus  
🗑
Can Tuberculosis survive for years in a dry state ?   show
🗑
What are the two common stains used to identify bacterial?   show
🗑
What color are Gram Positive bacteria?   show
🗑
What color are Gram Negative bacteria?   show
🗑
show Gram Positive: thick wall Gram Negative: thin wall  
🗑
The Gram Stain process includes 1. the primary stain 2. decolorize 3. _________   show
🗑
show Gram Positive bacteria retains the primary stain. Gram Negative bacteria looses it's color during the de-colorization. It takes on the counter stain.  
🗑
In the Ziehl-Neilson Stain, which bacteria retains the primary stain? Acid fast-Red or Non-acid fast- blue?   show
🗑
What color is Acid fast bacteria and non-acid fast?   show

🗑
It's important for an infectious disease to have a reservoir, mode of transmission and susceptible host. Name 4 modes of transmission.   show
🗑
show Chain of infection  
🗑
To cause infections, six things must happen. Virulence (ability to grow) Invasiveness (ability to enter) Pathogenicity (ability to cause disease) name final 3.   show
🗑
True or False. Viruses are sensitive to antibiotics   show
🗑
