Medical Microbiology - correct answers Deals with microbes that cause diseases in humans and animals
Public Health Microbiology and Epidemiology - correct answer smonitor and control the spread of
diseases in communities
Immunology - correct answers Studies the complex web of protective substances and cells produced in
response to infection.
Industrial Microbiology - correct answers studies our food and water and also our biotechnology, the use
of microbial metabolism to arrive at a desired product. Ex: beer, drugs, enzymes and vitamins.
Agricultural Microbiology - correct answers Concerned with the relationship between microbes and
domesticated plants and animals
Environmental Microbiology - correct answer sStudy the effect of microbes on the earth's diverse
habitats
Branches of Microbiology - correct answer sMedical, Industrial, Environmental, Agricultural, Public
Health, Immunology,
3 Types of Microbes - correct answers prokaryotes, eukaryotes, viruses
Types of Prokaryotes - correct answers Bacteria (no organelles) and Archaea
Types of Eukaryotes - correct answers fungi, algae, protozoa, helminths
Types of Viruses - correct answers Viruses and bacteriophages
, Prokaryotic - correct answers cells that do not have a nucleus (Smaller)
Prokaryotic - correct answers has a cell wall (all are Microorganisms)
Prokaryotic - correct answer sHas a cell membrane
Prokaryotic - correct organelles
Prokaryotic - correct answers No mitochondria
Eukaryote - correct answers Has everything but a Cell Wall
Bacteria - correct answer sSingle Cell, prokaryotic organisms possessing cell walls made of peptidoglycan.
Possess circular chromosomes.
Archae - correct answer sSingle Cell Prokaryotic organisms of primitive origin. Similar to bacteria, but
more closely related to eukaryotes. Often live in EXTREME environments.
Protozoa - correct answer sSingle celled eukaryotic organisms, such as paramecia and amoeba species
such as Malaria.
Helminthes - correct answers Multicellular but small parasitic worms. We categorize them as
microorganisms because of their infectious properties.
Fungi - correct answer sEukaryotic organisms tht range in size from microscopic to visible with the
unaided ye. Can be unicellular ( such as yeast species) or multicellular ( such as molds and mushrooms)
Viruses (virus particle or virion) - correct answers Noncellular, Non independently living, parasitic,
protein coated genetic elements that can infect all living things, including other microorganisms.
( depends on another cells machinery to reproduce and disperse)
