1 CONCEPT QUESTIONS FOR EXAMINATION I - Biology 2420, Talaro & Chess 9 th NOTE: The topic sheets prepared by Dr. David Schwartz are being used by me with his kind permission. I have modified them in this document. DISCLAIMER: Concept questions provide only general guidelines as to material which the student is assigned to learn. They are not contractual upon the instructor as to content or appearance of material on the examination, by weight or by difficulty. Read the chapter materials. Take some time to write answers to these questions. If you can answer them, you have a good grasp of the material! Good luck! Chapter 1 1. Identify the groups of microorganisms included in the scope of microbiology, and explain the criteria for including these groups in the field. 2. Why was the abandonment of the spontaneous generation theory so significant? 3. Using the scientific method, describe the steps you would take to test the theory of spontaneous generation. What are variables and controls? 4. Explain how inductive and deductive reasoning are similar and different. 5. Where do you suppose the "new" infectious diseases come from? 6. Add up the numbers of deaths worldwide from infectious diseases (Fig 1.4). Look up each disease in the index and see which ones could be prevented by vaccines or treated with drugs. How many do you think could have been prevented by modern medicine? 7. What events, discoveries, or inventions were probably the most significant in the development of microbiology? 8. Construct the scientific name of a newly discovered species of bacterium, using your name, a pet's name, a place or a unique characteristic. Be sure to use proper notation and endings. 9. KNOW WHITTAKER'S FIVE KINGDOMS AND THE SPECIFIC CHARACTERISTICS OF THOSE ORGANISMS AND MICROORGANISMS WHICH ARE IN EACH KINGDOM. YOU DO NOT NEED TO MEMORIZE SPECIFIC NAMES OF ORGANISMS, JUST SPECIFIC CHARACTERISTICS, CELL PLAN, AND RELEVANT NUTRITIONAL PROFILE(S) FOR EACH KINGDOM. Chapter 2 This material can appear in all chapters on all exams. I expect my students to know the basic chemistry contained in this chapter without the necessity of any review in this course. Unfamiliarity with this material in a "2000 level" science course is a serious deficiency!!! Chapter 3 1. Explain what is involved in isolating microorganisms and why it is necessary to do this. 2.
