Lab 5 Eukaryotic Microbes, Parasitology, & Viruses BIO250L”
Student Name: Jennifer Baeza
Access Code (located on the underside of the lid of your lab kit): ACOF5124A
Pre-Lab Questions
1. What is a model organism, and why is Saccharomyces cerevisiae so often used as one?
Model organisms is used for research and analysis. Sacchgromyces are used because of it
small and fast growth rate, and is easy and safe to work with.
2. Research and discuss the properties of mold that make them sometimes beneficial to humans,
and sometimes potentially harmful.
can be beneficial to humans in the way that it can be used in medications. It is harmful to
humans because it can be aspergillum and inhalation can lead to serious problems since mold
produces toxins.
3. Parasitic helminths are a major cause of disease in undeveloped countries around the world.
Discuss the role that microbiologists can and have played in helping to reduce the number
of infections caused by parasitic helminths.
microbiologist can help prevent transmission with better hygiene, hand washing , getting
your vaccines and staying up to date and drinking water.
