the study of the relationship between
microorganisms and their environment
16. What is the most well medical
known branch of
microbiology?
17. immunology studies invading microbes and other harmful entities
18. Agricultural Microbiology concerned with the relationships between microbes and
do-
mesticated plants and animals
19. Biotechnology The manipulation of living organisms or their
components to produce useful products.
20. Food Microbiologists These scientists are concerned with the impact of
microbes
on the food supply, including such areas as food
spoilage, food-borne diseases, and production
21. Prokaryotic before the nucleus
22. organelles Structures specialized to perform distinct processes
within a cell.
23. eukaryotic A cell characterized by the presence of a nucleus and
other membrane-bound organelles. Eukaryotes can
be unicellular (protists) or multicellular (fungi, plants
and animals).
