BIOS 225 The Main Themes of Microbiology

  • Microbiology
  • –Answer is a specialized area of biology that deals with tiny life forms that are not readily observed without magnification

  • Microorganisms
  • –Answer microbes, or several other terms, depending upon the purpose. such like –Answer germs, bugs.

  • Major organisms in the science of microbiology
  • –Answer bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa, algae, and helminths(parasitic worm)

  • Basic characteristics of prokaryotic cells
  • –Answer very small, lacking a nucleus.

  • Basis characteristics of eukaryotic cells
  • –Answer more complex cell, contained a nu- cleus and other complex internal structures.

  • State several ways that microbes are involved in the earth's ecosystems
  • –Answer

  • Recombinant DNA
  • –Answer has unlimited potential in terms of medical, industrial, and agricultural uses.

  • Bioremediation
  • –Answer to heal, the use of biological agents to remedy environmental problems.

  • Biofilm
  • –Answer is a complex in network of microbes and their secretions that form in most natural environments.
