(I posted this on the summer I micro club thread, but so many students are starting later....)
I'm supposed to start tonight, but I'm going to miss the first day of class. lol (My daughter is going to be given an award at her Jr. High awards ceremony.)
So, the instructor told me to read ch1 and ch2. I am doing the objective/study guide questions she has posted. There are 16 questions, but a couple of them I can't find a direct answer!
We are using Microbiology by Tortora, Funke and Case.
#3 Give examples of pathogens, opportunists and normal flora.
I know that E. coli and S. aureus are opportunists. I can't find, or I'm just overlooking answers for the pathogens & normal flora.
#5 Give viral structures and the molecular composition of each structure.
What in the world does this mean???
#6 Know the levels of classification from domains to strains.
Not sure....Genus, species, family..etc? I don't see this in the book!
#7 Recognize and explain the proper scientific nomenclature of m/o's: genus, species, and strains.
Does this mean
Genus species STRAIN
(The Genus is capitalized, the species is capitalized ...the strain is????? After the genus is spelled out once, it can be appreviated the subsequent times:
E. coli
..... Nomenclature must be underlined or in italics?
It's sad, I can't even understand the first chapter!
Thanks for the powerpoint. they are really helpful. I just wonder if you have chapter 13 viruses, chemotherapy, ch 21microorganism and human disease(eye and skin), 22 nervous system, 23 cardiovascular, 24 respiratory and 25 ?
That would be great if anyone can uplaod the powerpoints for those chapters. Thanks.
