..."plague doctor" - waht is a viroid?
- An infectious particle, similar to but smaller than a virus, that consists solely of a strand of RNA and is capable of causing disease in plants.

- Name 6 reasons why to study micro:
-
1.ubiquitous districution...THEY ARE EVERYWHERE
2.Ideal experimental subjects...they are easy to work with
3.They cause a variety of disease
4.They play a crucial role in nature (N fixation etc)

6.They are a possible source of food...(yeast = bread) - What is the most well-known Prokaryotic organism?
- ECOLI
- What is the most well-known Eukaryotic organism?

- An organism capable of synthesizing its own food from inorganic substances, using light or chemical energy.
- What is a Hetero-troph
- organic carbon...An organism that cannot synthesize its own food and is dependent on complex organic substances for nutrition.
- What is simple staining?
- using only one reagant
- which type of staining is a positive change.
- Basic Stain.
- WHich type of staining is a negative change?
- Acidic stain
- Which type of staining brings no type of change to an organism?
- Neutral stain
- How does staining work?
- when staining, use a stain with an opposite charge of an organism...because opposites attract and the dye will stick

- Christian Gram
- which type of stain did Erlich use to discover the syphillus vaccine?

- Prokaryotic
- Which type of Organism is able to grow at high temperatures? (extreme thermophilly)
- Prokaryotic
- Chemoautotrophy
- get energy from the oxidation of inorganic substances, and get Carbon from CO2.
- Which type of cell is Poly Beta Hydroxy Butyric Acid (PBH) found?
- PHB is found only in Prokaryotic cells.
- How do you stain spores?
- boil them.
