What scientist first hypothesized that gene sequences could provide new insights into evolutionary relationships among all organisms (including microbes) ?

Parasitic worms, even meters-long tapeworms, are studied in microbiology because

Fermentation requires the presence of living cells.

Explain how the discipline of biochemistry grew out of the science of microbiology.

The study of the occurrence, distribution, and spread of disease is known as

You are a young scientist who has just learned about one of the hot topics in microbiology, biofilms. One aspect of the interest in biofilms is that the microbes living within biofilms appear to behave and function differently from their counterparts not living in a biofilm. Devise a way to explore the idea. (Do not focus on the technical details of how this might be accomplished.)

Who demonstrated that fermentation could occur in the absence of intact cells?

The development of molecular biology has made possible the application of (genome sequencing/gene sequences/gene sequencing) to provide a better understanding of the relationships between organisms.

Which of the following questions largely stimulated the research of microbes during what is known as the Golden Age of Microbiology?

The control of infectious disease remains challenging a century after the understanding of infectious disease began. What contributes to the continuing challenge?

Louis Pasteur is considered the Father of Microbiology because of the many carefully conducted experiments and observations he made with microbes.

Use the basic steps of the scientific method to describe Pasteurʹs experiments to investigate spontaneous generation.

Research done in Robert Kochʹs laboratory laid the foundation for (epidemiology/immunology/etiology), the study of the bodyʹs defenses against disease.

Which of the following was NOT an aspect of Pasteurʹs experiments to disprove spontaneous generation?

The term for the use of microorganisms to restore damaged environments is

Louis Pasteur demonstrated that fermentation to produce alcohol is caused by

Who among the following may be considered the Father of Microbiology in part because of his careful application of the scientific method to many problems in microbiology?

The microbes commonly known as are single-celled eukaryotes that are generally motile.
