when completed, this course will permit you to: 
1. connect the classification of microbes to their evolutionary relationships
2. describe the use of the microscope and staining techniques to visualize and identify bacteria
3. identify parts of a prokaryotic cell and contrast a prokaryotic and a eukaryotic cell
4. illustrate the phases of microbial growth and the control of growth
5. differentiate between aerobic respiration and fermentation and describe the end products of
    both reactions
6. explain oxidation and reduction reactions as applicable to metabolic patterns
7. define biotechnology using examples and techniques from microbial genetics
8. explain how recombinant DNA is produced and transferred into bacterial cells
9. illustrate and give examples of the replication cycle of viruses
10. explain mechanisms used by microbes to cause disease and the immune response of the
       human body
11. manipulate bacterial cultures according to standard procedures

Section 3

During our virtual class Wednesday night, we explored the first line oif defenses of our innate immune response: chemical and physical defenses. Then we continued to the adaptive immune response, how cytotoxic T cells destroy infected cells as part of the cellular response. 

REMINDER
​Monday, 4/21, there will be no in-person class.

I will have a recording instead posted for you to review.
​The following week, we'll complete our antibiotics lab.
