  • UBIQUITOUS- what does it mean

    (is,are )everywhere at the same time

  • What is the proces microorganism gain energy from where photosynthesis in not an option , like under ice

    oxidation of iron, sulfur or ammonium

  • microscopic

    GR

    micros- small

    scopein- to see

  • microbe

    GR

    micro- small

    bios-life

  • Major groups of microorganism (5)

    • bacteria

    • viruses

    • fungi

    • protozoa

    • algae

    • helminths

  • fields included in microbiology study

    1. geomicrobiologist

    2. marine microbiologist

    3. Astro microbiologist

    4. nurse epidemiologist

    5. medical technologist

  • origin of microorganism

    bacteria like cells -3.5 bilion years in rocks,

    domination -2 billion years

    organelles development - 1.8 billion years.

  • prokaryotic

    procaryotic

    GR

    pro-before

    karyon- nucleus

  • organelles

    GR

    organa- tool

    elle- small

  • eukaryotic

    eucaryotic

    GR

    eu- true

    karyon- nucleus

  • what process mage procaryotic cells evolve into eukaryotic

    endosymbiosis

  • mycology

    study of

    small eukaryotic cells like yeast and mold

    large -mushroom and puffballs

  • bacteriology

    study of

    small single celled procaryotic organism

  • protozoology

    protozoa -animal like single celled eukaryotes

  • virology

    noncellular particles that parasite cells

  • parasitology

    patogenic protozoa, helminths worms, certain insects

  • phycology/algology

    simple photosynthetic eukaryotes - the algae * simple celled forms to large seaweed

  • morphology

    detailed structure of microorganism

  • physiology

    function (metabolism at cellular and molecular level)

  • taxonomy

    classification, naming, identification

  • glycocalyx

    coat on cell membrane

    glycoprotein

    glycolipids

    ptoteoglycan

    GR -glycys- sweet calyx- husk( lupina)

    -cell to cell communication, recognition, adhesion, protection

  • bacteriophages

    complex viruses

  • procaryotic examples

    microorganism- bacterium and archae

  • arthropods

    fleas, ticks

  • eucaryotic examples

    algae, protozoa, mold(fungi)yeast ( fungi),

    worms, anthropoids - although big they produce microscopic eggs, larvae

  • what are most common microbes on earth

    viruses

  • size of microbes

    most from 100um to 10 nm

  • photosynthesis

    convers co2 to organic material creating oxygen

  • decomposition

    break down of dead matter turn it to simple compound directed back to natural cycle of living things

  • bioremediation

    bio-life
