Question
Answer
show the study of organisms (living things) that are too small to be seen with the unaided eye; plays an important role in ecology; a small percent are pathogenic (disease causing)  
🗑
show bacteria, fungi, protozoa, algae, helminths (parasitic worms), and viruses that can cause infection  
🗑
show single-celled organisms that possess defined nuclei, various organelles, enclosed genetic material, and a membrane enclosed structure; "true nucleus" (examples: fungi. protozoa, algae, and viruses)  
🗑
show organisms that lack a defined nucleus and organelles, and possess free-floating chromosomes; "pre-nucleus" (examples: bacteria and archae)  
🗑
show unicellular prokaryote, various in shape and arrangement, that reproduce by binary fission; their cell walls generally contain peptidoglycan and some have flagella for motility  
🗑
show prokaryotes that lack peptidoglycan, and live under extreme conditions  
🗑
show - bacteriology - mycology - phycology - parasitology - virology  
🗑
show the study of bacteria  
🗑
mycology   show
🗑
phycology   show
🗑
show the study of parasites (protozoa and helminths)  
🗑
which areas of study in microbiology are according to the processes studied?   show
🗑
show biochemistry of microbes  
🗑
show transmission and expression of genetic information  
🗑
microbial ecology   show
🗑
show - immunology - epidemiology - etiology - infection control - chemotherapy  
🗑
immunology   show
🗑
epidemiology   show
🗑
show studies the cause of diseases  
🗑
show controlling hospital acquired (nosocomial) infections  
🗑
chemotherapy   show
🗑
which areas of study in microbiology are according to application of knowledge?   show
🗑
show noncellular pathogenic entities; intracellular parasites  
🗑
show microbes that live on and in our bodies and have a beneficial role in our health  
🗑
infectious disease   show
🗑
show new forms of microbes causing new diseases or causing new version of old diseases to reappear  
🗑
scientific method   show
🗑
hypothesis   show
🗑
experiment   show
🗑
show continual retesting of the hypothesis  
🗑
show a collection of statements, propositions, or concepts that explains or accounts for a natural event  
🗑
show the science of classifying living beings originated by Carl von Linne  
🗑
show 1. classification (arrangement of organisms into groups) 2. nomenclature (naming of organisms) 3. identification (examining various organisms and using the traits observed to place them into taxonomic groupings)  
🗑
show 1. Domain 2. Kingdom 3. Phylum 4. Class 5. Order 6. Family 7. Genus 8. Species  
🗑
show the study of how organisms have changed over millions of years; based on two major concepts: 1. all new species originate from pre-existing cells 2. closely related organisms have similar features because they evolved from common ancestral forms  
🗑
show the method of assigning a scientific or specific name that is always a combination of the generic (genus) name followed by the species name (example: "homo sapiens" = the scientific name for humans  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
