    The buffy coat contains white blood cells and platelets.
  • What was the significance of the invention of the microscope in 1666?
    The invention of the microscope allowed scientists to visualize and study microorganisms.
  • How does microbial death occur when exposed to lethal agents?
    Microbial death occurs at a constant rate when exposed to lethal agents.
  • Which type of pest may make mud tubes—tunnels that run along the walls—or shed tiny wings?
    Termites may make mud tubes and shed tiny wings.
  • Approximately how many prokaryotic cells live in 5 ml of fertile soil?
    There are billions of prokaryotic cells in 5 ml of fertile soil.
  • Which bacteria use CO2 for carbon and H2 for energy?
    Chemoautotrophic bacteria use CO2 for carbon and H2 for energy.
  • In which type of environment do microorganisms grow best?
    Microorganisms grow best in warm, moist, and nutrient-rich environments.
  • What is false concerning microbes?
    Microbes are not all harmful; many are beneficial.
  • Which vitamin is synthesized by microbes in the intestine and helps to maintain bone health?
    Vitamin K is synthesized by intestinal microbes and helps maintain bone health.

  • What is not a necessary component in the chain of infection?
    A vaccine is not a necessary component in the chain of infection.
  • What is not required at a handwashing station?
    A microwave is not required at a handwashing station.
  • What type of environment would likely be free of microbial life?
    Sterilized environments, such as inside an autoclave, are free of microbial life.
  • Which general category of drugs is the most selectively toxic?
    Antibiotics are the most selectively toxic drugs, targeting bacteria specifically.
  • When washing hands properly, what is the recommended duration?
    Hands should be washed for at least 20 seconds.
  • Which best describes the point at which heartworm larvae would be classified as microfilariae?

  • Which action can help prevent time-temperature abuse?
    Monitoring and recording food temperatures can help prevent time-temperature abuse.
  • What are the advantages of using a colony counter when conducting a standard plate count?
    A colony counter increases accuracy and efficiency in counting bacterial colonies.
  • What action can spread a foodborne illness?
    Handling food with unwashed hands can spread foodborne illness.

    A mismatch example: Streptococcus pyogenes and cholera toxin.
  • Which specimen needs to be transported on ice?
    Specimens for viral testing often need to be transported on ice.
  • What is the most common portal of entry for human pathogens?
    The respiratory tract is the most common portal of entry.
  • Which type of metabolic diversity contains most pathogens?
    Chemoheterotrophs include most pathogens.
  • How can you make sure the right amount of blood sample goes into the microhematocrit tubes?
