Microbiology - Fall 2008

Ocelot · Sep 7, 2008

Hey everyone! I took microbiology this past summer and absolutely loved it! One of my favorite courses EVER!
Anyway, I just typed up this list of microbiology websites I found helpful because I wanted to send it to a friend. And then I thought, why not post it on allnurses, too? So enjoy -- I hope you find something useful here. :)
Enjoy!

Thanks for the help!! Anything extra added will be helpful and necessary!! I've got to summarize several journal papers and stuff and may get some advice about those from you as well!!

:typing

Thank you thank you thank you!!! You are awesome!!!

Aw, shucks! I just loved micro so much I want the whole world to love it! :chuckle If you think that list is long, you should see my list of chemistry websites! I don't call myself AtomicWoman for nothing. LOL!

Hello micro study group, I have a question about microscope use. As the magnification of the objective lens increases, what happens to their physical size? What happens to the diameter of the field of view? Thanks in advance for any replies!! :yeah:

Not sure if this is exactly the answer your looking for - but this is something my professor has been stressing each Lab (pretty sure she's going to make it a test question).

"When the magnification increases, the field of view decreases".

PreRN Katie · Sep 9, 2008

I've been told the same thing as Stacygirl...as you increase your magnification, your field of view gets smaller. You may only be able to see 100 bacteria as opposed to thousands and thousands on a scanner lens (although I doubt you could actually see any bacteria on a scanner lens, they would still technically be there and there would be more of them in the field of view). Not sure about the physical size question...it doesn't actually change, they just look bigger the more they are magnified. Hope that helps!

My class started on the 3rd - is it too late to get in on the study group?

PreRN Katie · Sep 9, 2008

Heck no! The more the merrier (and the better grades hopefully!)!

We have our test on Thursday over four chapters. We've only been in class two weeks so this seems fast to me. Question for my study buddies, does anyone know if eukaryotes and prokaryotes use ATP? I know eukaryotes do, just not sure prokaryotes do. And if they don't, then what do they use for energy instead??

PreRN Katie · Sep 10, 2008

According to my prof the basal body that creates the flagellar movement of some prokaryotes is an "ATP-driven motor"...so I guess by deductive reasoning prokaryotes would have to use ATP too. Hope that helps!

our ch 2 is chemistry too. maybe we are using the same book?

I HATE chemistry. All i know about covalent bonding is that they share electrons & in ionic bonding one loses & one gains. the reason they dissolve in water is because water is polar & attracts positive and/or negative ions..i think who knows we had a chemistry quiz yesterday..not sure how i did! did yall have to build the little models?

i think prokaryotes use their cell membrane for energy because they dont have any membranous organelles such as mitochondria. our instructor told us yesterday they use their cell membrane for energy not ATP.
