Microbiology Study Guide Chapters 1-6 Chapter 1 Main Themes of Microbiology Microorganisms Most are not Pathogens Prokaryotic-no nucleus or organelles Very simplistic—like bacteria Eukaryotic-has nucleus and organelles like mitochondria Includes fungus‚ and animals Acellular-not even a complete cell Includes viruses and prions like those that cause Mad Cow disease Six main types of microorganisms Bacterium (prokaryotic) Fungus (eukaryotic) Algae (eukaryotic) Virus (acellular)

Organ Harvesting Research Paper We have all heard about the stories and have seen the movies in which the protagonist wakes up in a tub covered in tons of ice and stitches in his side only to realize that he was a victim of organ theft. There have been many movies surrounding this horrid topic‚ and many people believe this concept is fictitious; however these movies have partial truth to them. There are many cases across the globe in which people have been given faulty organs‚ and cases in which

Introduction Chemical kinetics is the study of reaction rates. A reaction rate is the speed of the change in either reactants or products over a period of time. General kinetic rate equation is: Where [A] and [B] are the concentration of the species in the reaction. The variable k is the rate constant‚ which is a function of time and catalyst presence. The variables m and n are the order of reaction for their respective species concentration. The higher the value of the reaction order the

In this lab we are going to be observing the decomposition of piglets over a month’s time. There are theory questions that have been given to us before and after the lab. We look back at our original theory to see where we went wrong‚ and then correct it. The lab was disgusting‚ surprising‚ and very interesting. The first questioned to be answered is which piglet decomposes faster‚ a piglet that is in its natural state‚ that is burnt‚ that is buried‚ and that is buried in a wooden box? With

Boiling Point Lab Introduction: The purpose of this lab is to learn about the calibration of a thermometer. In addition‚ we also investigated the boiling point of an unknown liquid to determine its identity. Chemical Responsibility: 1. Make sure to use glycerine (lubricant) and a towel to safely insert the thermometer into the rubber stopper. 2. Carefully operate the Bunsen burner and make sure to use rubber gloves when handling the boiling water of beaker 3. Always wear goggles

Abstract: The Enzyme Lab results where when the liver was frozen‚ its reaction was fast‚ and when it was hot‚ it was slow‚ and the liver that was at room temperature reacted slowly to medium. Introduction: The Enzyme Lab is to conduct investigations to determine the most favorable conditions for the most efficient enzyme activity. Variables to be used testing include temperature‚ pH values and surface area. Enzymes are proteins that speed up the rate of chemical reactions‚ which would otherwise

Identify the type of solid in each unkown compound. Support these conclusions with observations. Compound A is a polar covalent compound because it has many “ in between” properties‚ such as the following: • The compound is soluble in water‚ which is usually an ionic property. • The compound

Lab Report Microbiology Introduction Bacteria can be found almost anywhere. For human life‚ some help us‚ some hurt us‚ and others are neutral. It is now known that good bacteria‚ or normal microflora‚ can reach 1014 microbial cells. This is far more than the 1013 cells that make up the human body (Tannock‚ 1995). The total number of bacteria on Earth is estimated to be around 4-6 x 1030 (Horner-Devine‚ 2004). It is important to know the extent of bacteria‚ how they live‚ and how they are
