Tooth decay is an infection that causes deterioration of the protective enamel on teeth, resulting in damage. Tooth decay is most likely caused by

What is the theory that allowed scientists to gain an understanding of how microbes are passed from one organisms to another?

is the scientist who disproved spontaneous generation with the use of the special curve flask. This showed that microorganism are found in the air and not spontaneously created.

__________ postulate 

Gave an understanding of what caused diseases by:

1. isolate the microbe from a sick individual

2. Culture the microbe

3. Infect a healthy individual with the culture and show that individual will get the disease

4. Isolate the microbe from that individual

The Germ theory allowed scientists to:

• Changes in health practices have resulted from the acceptance of the germ theory of disease.

• Modern health practices emphasize sanitation, the safe handling of food and water, aseptic techniques to keep germs out of the body, and the development of vaccinations and other chemicals and processes to destroy microorganisms.

A ________________- trains your body to fight it using dead or weakened microbes (or pieces of those microbes).

The symptoms of strep throat infection are a red and swollen throat. What is the most likely cause of strep throat?

Which set of diseases do viruses cause?

Many school districts are placing dispensers of hand sanitizer in classrooms and computer labs. Which of the following is the most likely purpose of this practice?

Having students wash their hands frequently with soap and water will limit the spread of infectious disease by

________ ______ is a well known disease that become difficult to control. Example: smallpox (historically) and AIDS

The biggest threat to emerging diseases is humans staying in one location, which causes the disease to spread quickly. Governments should encourage individuals to travel and commerce between countries.

What were the organisms that contributed to the Zeke virus?

Where did AIDS originate?

Viruses are not made up of _________________.

What genetic material makes up the flu virus?

The flu viruses and other viruses are able to mutate (change) quickly because of the ability to gene shuffle.

_____________ are proteins that infect nerve cells

The virus tricks the cell into thinking there is nothing wrong with the cell.

The outside covering of a virus is called the ______

The shorter infection takes over the cell and reproduces very quickly. The cell will burst and spread more viruses throughout the body. This type of infection is referred to as________

For a virus to reproduce, the virus must reproduce in a ____________ _______________.

What is the term when a virus burst (destroying the cell itself)?

A viral infection is a longer infection in which the virus takes over the organism's cell without the cell's immune system realizing a foreign microbe is in the cell. The virus will continue to replicate its genetic material until stress is placed on the cell. The virus will switch to other viral infection can the host cell will burst to which it will infect the other cells.

​ _________uses RNA (genetic material) into the DNA of the host cell. ​

________ is a virus that infects bacteria.

How does bacteriophage help the ecosystem?

___________ is a living single-cell prokaryotic organism.

The prokaryotic bacterial cell is made up of two domains. The two domains are bacteria and archae.

​Bacterial cells have two types of reproduction. _________production is when the bacterial cells exchange genetic material and __________ is when the bacterial cell gets larger  and divides its contents.​

What is true about replication machinery in viruses and bacteria?
