PLEASE HELP??


Describe the significance of the germ theory of disease.

Describe the significant contributions to microbiology by: Hooke, Leeuwenhoek, Redi, Pasteur, Jenner, Semmelweis, Lister, Kock, Reed, Gram, Ehrlich, Fleming, Metchnikoff, Landsteiner, Watson, and Crick.
 
Describe emerging diseases, resurgence of old diseases and chronic diseases caused by bacteria.

Differentiate between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. Give an example of a prokaryotic and eukaryotic organism.

Why are the differences between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells medically significant to humans?

Compare abiogenesis and biogenesis. what was the significance of the discovery of biogenesis?

Compare and contrast ionoc and covalent bonds. Give and expample of a molecule that contains each of the bonds.

What are DNA and RNA made of? List two ways DNA is different from RNA.

Compare and contrast the major cell wall components of the Prokaryotes, Archaea and Fungi. Why are these differences significant?

The germ theory of disease linked microorganisms to the cause of disease. It changed the way medical personnel looked at disease.

Hooke first observed cells known as Cork.
Leeuwenhoek- Dutch lens maker that created the first microscope and identified certain types of microbes.
Redi- Challenged the idea of spontaneous generation and designed and experiment to proof it.
Pasteur- Created the Swan neck flask which disproved spontaneous generation.
Gram- Gram stain.
Fleming- Penicillin, brought about antibiotics.
Watson and Crick- Discovered DNA
(These are just a few but the others can be easily found and there significance along with them)

Eukaryotic cells have organelles and prokaryotes do not. Prokayotic cells lack a membrane bound nucleus and Eukaryotic cells have a membrane bound nucleaus.
Eukaryotic cell example is a somatic cell
Prokaryotic cell example is Vibrio fisheri

Eukaryotic cells are a little harder to treat because the cellular structure is the same as ours. Fungi are eukaryotic so they are little tougher to treat.
Bacterial cells are quite different from our own cells so they medicine used don't effect our cells as much as a medicine for a fungal infection would.

Abiogenesis is the idea that nonliving things can produce living things and biogenesis is the theory that only living things can bring about other living things.

Ionic bonds occur when an electron is given to another molecule and covalent bonds are when to molecules share electrons.
Water is a a good example of covalent bonds.
Magnesium Oxide is an example of an ionic bond.

DNA and RNA are composed of  sugars, phosphate groups and nitrogenous bases (Nucleotides). One of the differences between DNA and RNA is the type of sugar used.
