BIO250L LAB 5 EUKARYOTIC MICROBES, PARASITOLOGY, & VIRUSES QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS 100% SUCCESS 2023 Pre-Lab Questions 1. What is a model organism, and why is Saccharomyces cerevisiae so often used... as one? A model organism is a non-human species that can be used in labs to help scientists to understand the biological processes. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is used often because it is one of the simplest eukaryotic organisms. 2. Research and discuss the properties of mold that make them sometimes beneficial to humans, and sometimes potentially harmful. Some molds are beneficial because they produce fumaric acid which can be used in the production of medicine and there are other molds that help with the production of alcohol, citric acid as well as other beneficial materials. Other potential harmful molds can cause fatal neural disease as well as a number of other health issues, such as skin irritation, throat irritation. 3. Parasitic helminths are a major cause of disease in undeveloped countries around the world. Discuss the role that microbiologists can and have played in helping to reduce the number of infections caused by parasitic helminths. Parasitic helminths can cause illnesses such as tapeworm and ringworm. Microbiologists are helping aid the reduction of illnesses due to parasitic helminths by coming up with treatments of anthelmintic agents such as albendazole and praziquantel.
