You have free access to a large collection of materials used in a college-level introductory microbiology course. The Virtual Microbiology Classroom provides a wide range of free educational resources including PowerPoint Lectures, Study Guides, Review Questions and Practice Test Questions.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
These lecture learning objectives are a study guide based on the VMC Chemistry of Microbiology Lecture PowerPoint Show:
- What are the three types of chemical bonds that we discussed? Describe each.
- What are elements, atoms, molecules and compounds? re
- What are oxidation reduction reactions and why are they important for us to understand?
- What is pH? What is the difference between an acid and a base?
- What are buffers? What was the relationship we discussed between buffers and food poisoning?
- Why was the bacteria Helicobacter pylori discussed during this lecture?
- What is the difference between an inorganic and an organic molecule?
- What is the difference between an inorganic and an
- Why is carbon such a big deal?
- What are carbohydrates, proteins and nucleic acids made of? What is the monomer (subunit) of each organic molecule called? What is the polymer called?
- Understand the 4 levels of protein structure.
- What are the different types of lipids that we discussed?
- What is a nucleotide made of? What are some of the important nucleotides and nucleic acids that we discussed?
- Why where specialized media MacConkey's and Mannitol Salt introduced during this lecture? How do they relate the the Chemistry of Microbiology?
LECTURE POWERPOINT
Versions of Chemistry of Microbiology PPT:
- Student's Chemistry of Microbiology PowerPoint Show
Printing: The best way for students to print out the PowerPoint Show is to download the PDF version. Select Print, and, when the Print screen comes up, go to the Print Handling options. Under Page Scaling, select "Multiple pages per sheet". Under Pages Per Sheet, select "2". That uses up less paper, placing two slides on each page.
The Chemistry of Microbiology Lecture materials include:
- a list of learning objectives
- a PowerPoint lecture
- a homework assignment
- practice test & review questions
- links to additional educational resources
