FUNDAMENTALS OF MICROBIOLOGY EXAM 2
CERTIFICATION EVALUATION TEST PAPER 2026
COMPLETE STUDY QUESTIONS WITH
CORRECT ANSWERS
◉ Agricultural Microbiology. Answer: relationships between
microbes and domesticated plants and animals
◉ Public Health Microbiology and Epidemiology. Answer: monitor
and control the spread of diseases in communities
◉ Immunology Microbiology. Answer: Investigates protective
substances and cells produced in response to infection
◉ Industrial Microbiology. Answer: - safeguards our food and water
- biotechnology
◉ Environmental Microbiology. Answer: effects of microbes on
earth's diverse habitats (aquatic, soil, geomicrobiology, astrobiology)
◉ Explain Medical Microbiology. Answer: Unfortunately, the
strawberries in MAs PIIE were contaminated with Salmonella
enterica, causing gastrointestinal distress in people who ate the pie
,◉ Explain Agricultural Microbiology. Answer: MA is having trouble
finding other ingredients to make her PIIE since local blueberries
have developed fungal fruit rot
◉ Explain Public Health Microbiology and Epidemiology. Answer:
MA sold her PIIEs at a local farmer's market and there is now a
community wide outbreak of Salmonella enterica
◉ Explain Immunology. Answer: To test people with gastrointestinal
distress for Salmonella enterica, the local clinic performs blood tests
to look at the immune response to the microorganism
◉ Explain Industrial Microbiology. Answer: MA is really upset over
making so many people sick with her PIIEs so she indulges in her
favorite meal- cheese, bread, and good glass of wine
◉ Explain Environmental Microbiology. Answer: MA decides to grow
all her own PIIE fruit from now on so she takes her soil to be
sampled to make sure it has a good balance of microbes for "fruitful"
growth
◉ Louie Pasteur. Answer: - invented pasteurization
- developed germ theory of disease
- eventually develops vaccine for rabies
, ◉ Robert Hooke. Answer: first to observe microbes
◉ Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek. Answer: - made small, crude
microscope to examine fabric
- drew "animalcules" from rainwater and scraped from this teeth
◉ Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis. Answer: Showed that women became
infected in the maternity ward after examinations by physicians who
had been working in the autopsy rooms without washing their
hands
◉ Joseph Lister. Answer: - first to utilize hand washing and misting
operating rooms with antiseptic chemicals
- credited with developing ASEPTIC technique
◉ Robert Koch. Answer: Developed postulates to link a specific
organism to a specific disease
◉ Carol Von Linne. Answer: - also known as Linnaeus
- established rules for classification
◉ Binomial Naming System. Answer: scientific name is Genus name
followed by species name
