-Noncommunicable disease causes the highest percentage of deaths at all income levels.-Deaths due to communicable diseases are highest in low income, developing countries.-Developed countries like the U.S. exhibit deaths only due to chronic disease.-The infectious diseases that cause the most deaths worldwide and in the U.S. are pneumonia and influenza.

Evaluate the following statements, and select those that correctly apply to the properties of microscopes.

-light rays with shorter WL enhance ability to resolve objects that are close together -when observing specimens with the 100x lens, adding a drop of oil to the slide will improve the resolving power; the image will be clear rather than blurry

Review important historical foundations of microbiology by completing each sentence. Then, arrange the sentences in chronological order.

1 In the late 1600s, van Leeuwenhoek designed several simple microscopes. 2 As a leading microbiologist during the 1800s, Pasteur disproved the theory of abiogenesis and completed several studies leading to the germ theory of disease. 3 In the mid 1800s, Lister was the first surgeon to introduce aseptic techniques into the operating room in an effort to reduce microbes and prevent infection. 4 Around 1875, Koch established four proofs that could be used to determine an organism's pathogenicity and related disease. He also developed many of the laboratory techniques that are still used today. 5 Microbes have played a significant role in the advances of the last century, such as restriction enzymes for cutting DNA and genome sequencing to better understand the microbes that live on and in our bodies.

Which of the following are true regarding spontaneous generation? Check all that apply.

2. Louis Pasteur designed an experiment with swan-necked flasks that disproved this theory once and for all. 3.This theory was based on idea of abiogenesis.

What is a virion?

A virus particle that is not inside of a host cell

emerging

A(n) infectious disease, such as SARS or viral encephalitis, is a newly identified infectious disease that is becoming more prominent.

Review the scientific process by completing each sentence. Then, arrange the sentences into a logical paragraph.

If the explanation is supported by numerous research studies that survive peer-review over time, it can be moved to the level of a theory. Scientists formulate a hypothesis, a tentative explanation to account for what they have observed or measured. Some explanations of scientific phenomena are so well-tested that they move to the highest level of confidence and become a law. Scientists then conduct experiments to determine the validity of their explanations.
