Question 9

Match each term with its definition.
-Cohabitation of microorganisms that live in or within an organism to provide a natural immunity against certain infections

Accepted Answer

Normal flora refers to the microorganisms that reside in or on our bodies, which can provide natural immunity against certain infections by outcompeting harmful pathogens for resources and space.

Question 10

Match each disease with its means of transmission (also referred to as modes of transmission).​
-Skin-to-skin contact or from shared items,such as towels,razors,and bandages

Accepted Answer

The answer of Match each disease with its means of...

Question 11

Match each term with its definition.
-Microorganisms that grow best in the absence of oxygen

Accepted Answer

Anaerobes are microorganisms that grow best or exclusively in the absence of oxygen.

Question 12

An autoclave exerts approximately 15-30 pounds of steam pressure per square inch at a temperature between ____ degrees Fahrenheit.

Accepted Answer

Autoclaves typically operate at a temperature range of 250 to 270 degrees Fahrenheit, utilizing steam pressure to sterilize equipment. This temperature range is effective in killing bacteria, viruses, and spores.

Question 13

Match each term with its definition.
-Multicellular parasites that live on the surface of a host and include scabies and lice

Accepted Answer

Ectoparasites are multicellular organisms that live on the surface of a host, such as scabies and lice, fitting the description provided.

Question 14

Match each disease with its means of transmission (also referred to as modes of transmission).​
-Direct transfer of eggs from anus to mouth;indirect contact with eggs in clothing or bedding

Accepted Answer

Pinworms are transmitted through the direct transfer of eggs from the anus to the mouth or through indirect contact with eggs present on contaminated surfaces, such as clothing or bedding.

Question 15

You should not use any sterile package if it is more than ___ from the time it was sterilized.

Accepted Answer

The answer of You should not use any sterile package...

Question 16

Sterilization with a dry heat oven typically takes about:

Accepted Answer

Sterilization with a dry heat oven usually requires a longer exposure time due to the slower heat transfer process of dry heat compared to moist heat, typically around 1-2 hours at the appropriate temperature.

Question 17

Match each term with its definition.
-Microorganism's power to produce a disease

Accepted Answer

Virulence refers to the degree of pathogenicity within a group or species of microorganisms or viruses as indicated by case fatality rates and/or the ability of the organism to invade the tissues of the host.

Question 18

Match each term with its definition.
-Single-celled internal parasites that have a true nucleus and survive on living matter

Accepted Answer

Protozoa are single-celled organisms with a true nucleus that often act as internal parasites, relying on living matter for survival.

Question 19

Match each disease with its means of transmission (also referred to as modes of transmission).​
-Sexual,anal,or vaginal intercourse;sharing IV drug needles;childbirth;blood-to-blood contact;and blood transfusions

Accepted Answer

AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) is caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which can be transmitted through sexual contact, sharing IV drug needles, childbirth, blood-to-blood contact, and blood transfusions.
