Concept explainers
State or local public health departments regularly inspect restaurants to ensure that safe food-handling procedures are used. In most states, detailed reports are available online. Locate such a report for a restaurant in your area. Mark the items on the checklist that cover hygiene and food handling, and explain how each item prevents potential contamination by pathogenic prokaryotes. Use the same checklist to inspect your own kitchen and evaluate whether corrective measures are needed.

Human Biology: Concepts and Current Issues
- A term to describe physical treatments that kill microbes on items or surfaces would be Microbiocentric Microbiocidal Microbicycle Microbiostaticarrow_forwardDirections Consider the following article: Revisit gut microbiota and its impact on human health and disease Our gut microbiome has been shown to be a key modulator of human health. The organisms that are part of our normal gut microflora have been proven to be involved in many aspects of our overall health. There are more microbes in and on us than we have human cells. Not only bacteria, but fungi, viruses, and other microbes are present in and on the human body. Initial Post For your initial discussion post, research one of the major human diseases, longevity, or infant health that have been shown to be impacted by our gut microbiota and discuss the accuracy and validity of the claims. How can we best utilize this knowledge in our own lives? Can we help those we love with their health issues by helping to modify their gut microbiota? Include supportive information from at least one credible source and the reference for your source in APA format.arrow_forwardAnswer briefly and concisely. Imagine yourself being assigned to a very poor, remote village to educate the people about sanitation and microbial control. What method of microbial destruction or microbe population control will you teach them in order to kill/destroy the microorganisms that me be found in: 1. the gallon of pond water collected for drinking 2. fish preferred eaten raw or uncookedarrow_forward
- Which of the following is an example of microbial control? Select all that apply. View Available Hint(s) ▸ Hint 1. What is meant by microbial control? Sue washes off the vegetables before serving them in a meal. Mary microwaves food before putting it on the table. Sue uses bleach to clean the kitchen counters. Mary places leftovers in the refrigerator after the meal.arrow_forwardIn one paragraph of at least 150 words, answer the following questions (IN YOUR OWN WORDS): List three environmental factors that influence microbes and discuss why these factors are important to their survival.arrow_forwardThe following will prevent the growth of bacteria: Keeping food at room temperatureKeeping food hotKeeping food coveredKeeping food coldarrow_forward
- The survival, growth and reproduction of microorganisms are influenced by physical and nutritional factors in its environment. Give the principle of microbial destruction/microbe population control behind sunbathing sleeping mats and pillowsarrow_forwardWhat is a biological indicator organism? Using specific examples and specific contexts, explain how the concept of microbial indicator organisms can be applied to help control the occurrence and spread of disease. Ces = Notes Comments 6,666 MAY Ai 11 W MacBook Airarrow_forwardAnswer all of the following true or false questions: True / False: Choose the answer that best fits each statement. write A (true) or B (False) next to the number for the question on the test. The presence of Escherichia coli in water is used as an indication of fecal contamination. The Vibrio species are characterized as being curved, gram negative bacteria with polar flagella. Chlamydia, Rickettsia and Mycoplasma are all obligate intracellular parasites. Neisseria, Staphylococcus, and Streptococcus are all gram-positive cocci. Tetanus, botulism, and diphtheria are diseases caused by gram positive, soil-dwelling, spore- forming rods. Most togaviruses are transmitted to humans via insect bites. The reason why dogs do not get measles is because their cells lack the correct receptor sites for that virus. Glycoprotein spikes are found on the capsids of viruses. A naked virus lacks a capsid. The polioviruses and hepatitis A virus are transmitted by contaminated food or…arrow_forward
- As an aspiring Nurse, the need for the culture of a new pathogenic microorganism in the laboratory has been allocated to you. Applying all the guidelines involved in the successful isolation and cultivation of microbes, discuss the culturing system that is most appropriate for this activity and state your reason(s) for this choicearrow_forwardWhich of the following statements regarding microbial death is FALSE? Question options: cell walls are targeted by all microbial control agents all of these statements are TRUE many antimicrobial agents function through the disruption of protein structure under a given set of conditions, the fraction of a microbial population tht dies per minute is typically constant over time the effectiveness of an antibacterial agent is a function of its microbial death rate the rate at which microbes are killed is termed the microbial death ratearrow_forwardDescribe the purpose of identifying unknown bacterial cultures in medical field. Name the step by step experiments/procedures that microbiologists follow in order to identify microorganisms.arrow_forward
