MICROORGANISMS AND THEIR EFFECTS ON LIVING THINGS

1.

CLASSIFICATION OF MICROORGANISMS a. b. c. d. e. Microorganisms Viruses Bacteria Fungi Protozoa Algae Characteristics smallest size unicellular, four basic shapes(rod like, commashaped, spiral-shaped, spherical), binary fission, nutrition (photosynthetic, saprophytic, parasitic) unicellular or multicellular, asexually and sexual, nutrition (saprophytic,parasitic) unicellular, unicellular or multicellular, contain chlorophyll and cellulose cell walls, carry out photosynthesis, sexual and asexual Size 20nm-400nm 0.1- 10m 10- 100m 2-1000m 10- 10000m

2.

FACTORS THAT AFFECT THE GROWTH OF MICROORGANISM a. Nutrients b. Light c. Water d. Temperatures e. pH USEFUL MICROORGANISMS a. Food digestion b. Decaying process c. Medicine d. Agriculture e. Industry HARMFUL MICROORGANISM a. Microorganisms that cause disease are called pathogens. b. Examples of diseases caused by pathogens: Tooth decay SARS and etc. c. Pathogens reproduce rapidly, can slow down the normal growth and metabolic activities of body cells and tissues. d. Pathogens produce toxins that can kill cells. Microorganisms and diseases Pathogens Viruses Disease Common cold Dengue fever hepatitis Aids Fungal Protozoa Tinea Ringworm Malaria Dysentery Symptoms Sore throat,runny nose, watery eyes Fever,headache, runny nose Fever,headache,nausea muscle ache Diarrhoea,loss of appetite, weight loss White spots, change the skin colour Scaly,round,itchy patches Fever,headache,nausea Diarrhoea Transmission Air Vector(Aedes) Contaminated food,water Physical contact Physical contact Physical contact Vector(anopheles Contaminated food

and water Bacteria Cholera Gonorrhoea Syphilis Tuberculosis Diarrhoea,thirsty,dry lips Severe cramps,fever, vomiting Sore on the mouth,rash, fever Racking cough,sputum contains blood,fever,weight loss Contaminated food and water Physical contact Physical contact Air

Methods of transmission of human diseases Physical contact- Examples:Gonorrhoea, syphilis, ringworm, athletes foot, hepatitis B, AIDS. Air- Common cold, tuberculosis Contaminated water- cholera, hepatitis A Contaminated food- cholera, hepatitis A Vector- animals that carry pathogens from person to person.Examples of vectors are mosquitoes and houseflies. (Cholera, malaria, dengue fever) 5. WAYS TO PREVENT INFECTION CAUSED BY MICROORGANISMS: a. Control of vectors i. Mosquito - related to its life cycle and habits. - draining swamps, covering the surfaces of ponds with oil, use Abate, rear larvaeeating fish. ii. Housefly - keeping our surroundings clean - disposing garbage in plastic bags - close rubbish bins - hygienic disposal of faeces - keeping food covered - spraying insecticide b. Various methods of sterilization i. Autoclave- high temperature(121C) and pressure. ii. Boiling- 100C(cannot kill a spores) iii. Heat- expose to strong heat iv. Disinfectant- chemical that kill microorganisms. Used to clean surgical apparatus, sickroom, drains, kitchen utensils.Examples: bleaching powder, formaline v. Antiseptic- Chemical used to kill microorganisms on skin or wound.Examples: alcohol, acriflavin, iodine vi. Chemical- chemical can kill microorganisms. vii. Radiation- exposure to ionizing radiations such as gamma rays and ultraviolet light viii. Ultraviolet light- used to kill microorganisms in the air in hospitals and operating theatre. ix. Gamma ray- Used to sterilize injection needles, syringes and dressing. c. Immunity - The immune system is the bodys main defence against pathogens. - It recognizes, attacks, destroys and remembers each type of pathogen that enters the body. - There are two types of immunity: Active immunity (body produces antibodies) and Passive immunity(body received antibodies) i. Natural Active Immunity - Develops naturally after a person is infected with a pathogen. - Very effective and may last for life. - Examples: recovery from diseases such as chicken pox and mumps. ii. Artificial active immunity

iii. -

acquired through immunization. Involves the use of vaccine that contains weakened pathogen. Examples: injection of vaccine. Natural passive immunity. acquired by the transfer of maternal antibodies to her offspring via the placenta or breast milk. - Examples: Breast-feeding. An infant receives from the mother because antibodies are present in the mothers milk. iv. Artificial passive immunity - Induced by injection of serum taken from an individual already immuned to a particular antigen. - Examples: Antiserum is injected to give immediate protection or to give rapid help in treating a disease. Importance of Immunity Helps to prevent the spread of diseases. Vaccination is used to fight infection and prevent epidemic outbreaks of disease or deaths. 6. HOW DISEASES CAUSED BY MICROORGANISMS ARE TREATED a. Modern cures - Use of synthetic medicines, antiserum, antibiotics and surgery. - Antibiotics: chemical compound obtained from microorganisms or synthesized. Use to destroy or inhibit the growth of microorganisms. Can be taken orally in pill or liquid or injected. Common antibiotics include penicillin, aureomysin, streptomysin and tetracyclines. - Viral diseases cannot be cured by using antibiotics. - Malaria can be cured by using drugs such as quinine, paludrine and chloroquinine. b. Traditional cures - Made from leaves, stems, roots, barks and flowers of plants or body parts of animals. - Examples: Tongkat Ali root. Danger of using drugs without medical advise and through unauthorized prescription. Can produce side effects. Can cause allergies Can lead to the development of resistant strains of microorganisms.
