Intro to Micro Review Questions Review questions are designed to help you study for exams. They are not intended to cover every question that may be on the exam. Questions on the exams may be over any of the material covered in class lectures and in your reading assignments. Review questions are arranged by topic, not by exam. Refer to the Lecture Schedule and your class notes for topics that will be covered on a specific exam. Introduction to Microbiology 1. What is microbiology?

7. Give an example of when each of the following would be a good choice – an agar slant, an agar deep, an agar plate, a broth tube. Agar in test tubes can be slanted while it is solidifying to make a larger surface area to inoculate. Agar deeps, which aren’t slanted, are usually used for “stabs” - inoculation by stabbing a needle with a sample of the microorganism deep into the agar. This can be useful in determining if the organism will grow - or grows best - in the presence or absence of oxygen, and also for seeing if the microorganism is motile. Agar plates allow the bacteria to be spread out more, so that isolated colonies can be studied. Broths are often used just to keep a culture growing, or with the addition of particular substances, to reveal differences in metabolism. 8. What is the purpose of nutrient media? What is the difference between a simple (or defined) medium and a complex medium? Nutrient media provide everything the organism needs to grow. Simple media are made by mixing up specific chemicals like salts, sugars, and amino acids. Because it is clear exactly what is in the medium, such a medium is often called a defined medium.
Review Questions for Mid-Term 1) What constitutional clause allows laws enacted by the federal government to take priority over conflicting state laws?
In this assignment I will be describing the characteristics of nutrients and the benefits to the body.
Nutrition is defined “as the science that links foods to health and disease. “ Nutrition is also called nourishment that provides food for support of life. Nutrition involves the process of humans ingesting, digesting, absorbing, and excreting food substances.Food provides energy in the form of calories needed to maintain all body cells. Nutrients are the substances obtained from food that are an important factor to promote growth & maintain a healthy body through an individuals’ life.
This is any music since industrialization in the mid-1800s that is in line with the tastes and preferences of the middle class.
1. List whether each of the following substances was positive or negative for starch, as indicated by using iodine. (7 points)
NOTE: As you read the information in the Microbiology Handbook, there may be some terms you are not familiar with – such as 16s ribosomal RNA and Polymerase Chain Reaction. Refer to your text to read background material explaining any terms or processes with which you are not familiar.
1. First, find out what nutrients Janine and Mitchell are talking about. Using a biology textbook and the resources listed, describe what the following molecules are and what they are used for in the human body. List some specific examples of each. Also list major dietary sources of each.
Read in your lab manual about the following agar mediums: Blood Agar (pg 168), EMB Agar (pg 170), Mannitol Salt Agar (MSA)(pg 172) ), MacConkey Agar (pg 174), and PEA Agar (pg 176) to answer the following:
a) First, find out what nutrients Janine and Mitchell are talking about. Using a biology textbook and the resources listed, describe what the following molecules are and what they are used for in the human body. List some specific examples of each. Also list major dietary sources of each.
Nutrients are found in food and drink and are a substance that provides the nourishment which is needed to maintain a healthy lifestyle and healthy growth. Lack of nutrients
3.List whether each of the following substances was positive or negative for starch, as indicated by using iodine. (7 points)

Nutrients are the substances obtained from food that are vital for growth and maintenance of a healthy body throughout life.
The purpose of this study is to identify four unknown organisms. The unknown organisms have been assigned randomly to six-research groups by Professor Hoffman. Each research group was provided two eukaryotes and two prokaryotes. The unknown organisms will fall into the following classifications: bacteria, algae, fungi, or protozoans. All living organisms are organized into one of three domains of life, Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya.
The macronutrients (excluding fiber and water) provide structural material (amino acids from which proteins are built, and lipids from which cell membranes and some signaling molecules are built) and energy. Some of the structural material can be used to generate
