We've had 2 quizzes and our first exam in the lecture portion of micro. In the lab we've only had 2 quizzes. I was bummed, as I only got a 88% for the exam, but a felt a little better when I found out the class average was in the high 70's. At least now I have a better idea of how the teacher forms his tests and how to study for them, but I know the material is only going to get harder.

We have spent the last week focusing on Chapter 5 in the Tortora, Funke, & Case Micro book which covers microbial metabolism. I feel a bit overwhelmed in this section, seems like quite a bit to remember. Anyone else struggling with this part?

I'm planning to start Chapter 5 tomorrow. (Right now I'm getting my notes and study guides ready for Ch1-4 because our midterm is next week.)

Clinical application question (From Ch2 of Tortora, Funke, Case): The antibiotic amphotericin B causes leaks in cells by combining with sterols in the plasma membrane. would you expect to use amphotericin B against a bacterial infection? A fungal infection? Offer a reason why amphotericin B has severe side effects in humans.

we started unit 2 which includes ch 5, 6 and 7 this last week. i am using note cards galore to keep track.

i still have to read chapters 6 & 7 before the end of the week, and complete the assignments and online labs by friday. i better get cracking.

Wow my class is so behind. It was probably the two snow days...we are still in the intro portion about basic functions of microorganisms, contributions of various people (leewenhoek, pasteur, tyndall). my first test is in week and half. im at university of texas-arlington...

HI guys, I have a few question's that i'm trying to clear up for my first exam and was hoping somebody could help out.

1) Do spiral bacteria have a cytoskeleton?

2) Are white blood cells examples of peroxisomes or lysosomes?

3) Does aerobic and anaerobic respiration give off the same amount of energy?

4) Does fermentation use glycolysis and the krebs cycle? Or just glycolysis?

Thanks

1) hmmm...I'm not sure

2) I'm going to guess lysosomes

3) no - aerobic reactions produce 38 ATP in prokaryotes and 36 ATP in eukaryotes. Anaerobic reactions produce variable amounts of ATP, more than 2, fewer than 38.

4) just glycolysis
