  • Describe the contributions of Leeuwenhoek and Koch to the field of microbiology.
  • Describe the six different categories in which the organisms described by Leeuwenhoek were grouped.

TCO 2 – Given pictures of a variety of microorganisms including fungi, protozoa, bacteria, and viruses, classify each as prokaryotic, eukaryotic, or acellular and compare and contrast their structure and function.

  • Describe cellular macromolecules such as carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids, and the roles they play in cellular structures (Ch. 2)
  • Compare and contrast molecular components of prokaryotes (Bacteria and Archaea), eukaryotes, and viruses as well as the environmental conditions these can be found in
  • A Classify and describe the general characteristics of prokaryotes.
  • Describe Gram positive, Gram negative, and Acid Fast cell wall/membrane structures including molecular components (lipids, acids, endotoxins, periplasmic space).
  • Compare/contrast methods of transport into and out of cells
  • Compare/contrast archaea and bacteria in terms of cellular structures and how they were separated by Carl Woese.
  • Compare/contrast prokaryotes and eukaryotes in terms of size, shape, reproduction, motility, organelles, metabolic processes

TCO 3 – Given several types of microscopes, evaluate how scientists use the microscopes to identify and study microorganisms.

    • Describe the principles of various types of microscopy and their applications.
    • Describe various staining methods used in microscopy
    • Analyze the different methods of classification and identification of microorganisms.

TCO 4 – Given a culture of a microorganism, examine its physical and nutritional requirements.

    • Explain how environmental conditions (temperature, pH, oxygen, and osmotic and hydrostatic pressure) affect microbial growth.
    • Describe the information that can be interpreted from a growth curve; name the four phases and know what makes each unique

TCO 5 – Given a nutritional requirements of a microorganism, analyze the processes of microbial metabolism

  • Compare and contrast respiration and fermentation.
  • Discuss the macromolecular structure as well as function of enzymes in a cell
  • Describe the three stages of aerobic glucose catabolism.
  • Compare aerobic and anaerobic metabolism in terms of products and # ATP produced

TCO 6 – Given the characteristics of a eukaryotic organism, classify it into its right kingdom based on genetic relatedness.

  • Describe the characteristics of protozoa, their nutritional requirements, and their mode of reproduction, and relevant vocab (structural features).
  • Describe the characteristics of fungi that distinguish them from other eukaryotes.
  • Discuss the role of arthropod vectors in disease transmission; differentiate mechanical and biological vectors

TCO 7 – Given the characteristics of an acellular pathogen, identify the pathogen to design the appropriate treatment strategy.

  • Discuss the classification strategies of a virus.
  • Describe the intracellular and extracellular structures of viruses
  • Discuss the various modes of replication of a bacteria virus and animal virus.
  • Discuss the different ways viruses can be cultured in a lab.
  • Compare and contrast viruses, virions, prions, and viroids.

TCO 8 –Analyze methods of controlling microbial growth in the environment and in the body.

  • Describe the appropriate physical and/or chemical methods of controlling microbial growth when given a particular scenario (e.g. sterilizing insulin, saline solution, fresh fruits/veggies, goggles; de-germing local injection site, table tops, etc.)
  • Summarize the mode of action of major groups of antimicrobial and antiviral drugs.
  • Summarize practices that have led to increased bacterial antibiotic resistance and strategize ways to limit this increased resistance.
  • Describe factors to be taken into account when selecting antimicrobial and antiviral drugs, including drug effects on patients.

TCO 9 – Given an illustration of the three lines of defense that protect the human body from pathogens, analyze how the components of each work to prevent or overcome infection

  • Differentiate between the five different classes of antibodies.
  • Differentiate between passive and active acquired immunity.

TCO 10 –Given data on an outbreak of a microbial disease, propose a plan that outlines the steps taken to identify the cause of the disease and to stop or limit the spread of the infection.

TCO 11 – Given a patient with the symptoms of influenza or another infectious disease, identify the causative agent and analyze its pathogenicity.
