BIOL 3150 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: World Health Organization, Petri Dish, Industrial Microbiology
Document Summary
** everything in notes or specific sections assigned from the book. Specialized area of biology that deals with living things too small to be seen without mag- nification. Know the types of organisms studied and their branches of microbiology. Applied microbiology: health science industry= drs & nurses that diagnose & care for individuals with disease. Immunology= study the immune chemicals and cells produced in response to infection. Public health/ epidemiology= monitor and control the spread of disease in the communi- ties. ex world health organization (who) & center for disease control (cdc) Know the two metric scales used to measure both bacteria and viruses. Bacteria = micrometer = 100 um - 1um need light microscope. Viruses = nanometer = 200nm - 1nm need electron microscope. Understand the two theories on how living things arise. Spontaneous generation (abiogenesis) = living things will suddenly appear from nonliving matter. Biogenesis = living things arise from other living things of the same kind.
