robert hooke

-he was the first man to use the term cells. -he created one of the first microscopes, and he's one of the first who examined microbes in the microscope. -he developed cell theory "all living things are made of cells".

louis pasteur

-provided evidence for biogenesis.(disproved spontanous generation) swan necked flask experiment -developed pasteurization -showed that fermentation is the result of microbes. -developed the first aseptic techniques(used to starilize liquieds or objects) -showed that dust contained bacteria

kochs postulates experiment

-take a rabid racoon - isolate a tissue sample -observe a microbe in the tissue sample -grow microbe in the lab -then grab healthy racoon and inject microbe into it -then observe signs and symptoms -then if its microbe then youll have a rabid racoon (im guessing its the same cow experiment)

1 billion(1,000,000,000) (3.3feet)

how many micrometers in 1 meter

whats the function of the cytoplasmic membrane of bacteria

1. its a selectively premeable barrier for h2o, o2 and c02. pass freeely through the membrane from high to low concentration. this is how penicillin kill bacteria. -nutrients(sugars, amino acids) must be transported across the membrane. 2. they have a site of atp production.(1and 2 applies to all bacteria) 3. they form structrues called chomatophores

oil immersion

100x lense need to be small to refract at 100x lesne with oil, the oil prevents light refraction to get to the eye. it helps collect more light with not as much refraction higher magnifcation image is fuzzzy in the light because light bends and its difficult to collect light that is refracted.

isotonic environemnt

FYI: solutes(ions, sugars) cannot pass membrane freely and water which can move accross membrane freely by diffusion(osmosis) when concentration of solutes and water on both sides of the membrane are equal. so no net movement of water.(equilibrium)

what 2 parts of naming do microorganisms consist of?

Genus and species. first letter of genus is always capitalized, entire name is underlined or italicized

alexanders experiment

He routinely grew bacteria on a solid medium called nutrient agar. In one experiment, he noticed that his bacteria plates were contaminated by a fungus called Penicillium chrysogenum. Importantly, growth of Penicillium chrysogenum seemed to inhibit the growth of the bacteria. The fungus was actually producing a substance, called penicillin, which killed the bacteria. Penicillin was then isolated from the fungus and is still used today to treat a variety of infections.

a set feature of every microscope, having its own power. it is the minimum distance two objects must be separated, which is .2 micrometers, in order to appear as two objects. if two objects are closer together than the resolving power then the object merge together. if an objects diameter is less thatn the resolving power then the object disapears. because a virus is less then .2 micrometers in diameter so they are invisable

edwards jenners experiment

a, he took scrapings from cowpox blisters and used them to inoculate a small child. This patient developed cowpox symptoms but quickly recovered. Importantly, when challenged by an injection of smallpox material, the patient never developed smallpox. We know now that the exposure to cowpox stimulated the body to produce a protective response, called immunity, to the cowpox virus and the related smallpox virus. This method of stimulating the immune system to produce a protective response is called vaccination.

robert koch's experiment

examine bacteria, then culture the bacteria inject cow with that bacteria cow dead from anthrax so draw blood from it examine blood and find bacteria. problems with this is that you got to find a human if its a human disease but that is not ethical, you also need to know where the bacteria thrives in the body. you dont know where the bacteria is or if the bacteria cultured is even the cause of the disease(anthrax,plague, and tuberculosis)
