Question

question 5
the primary purpose of kochs postulates is to:
determine the difference between eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms
determine the difference between bacteria and archaea
establish a relationship between a specific organism and the disease it causes
establish a relationship between a disease and the specific symptoms the disease causes
correlate a specific bacterial species with the environment it lives in
question 6
which of the following are part of kochs postulates? select all that apply.
find evidence of a particular microbe in a few cases of the disease
inoculate the microbe from the diseased organism and grow the microbe in pure culture
the cultured microbe should be inoculated into a susceptible, healthy subject and should cause
disease in the susceptible, healthy subject
the microbe should be found in both healthy and diseased organisms

Explanation:

Koch's postulates are a set of rules to link a specific microorganism to a particular disease. They involve finding the microbe in all disease cases, culturing it, inoculating a healthy subject to cause disease, and re - isolating the microbe. The first option about eukaryotic vs prokaryotic is about cell structure (not disease - microbe link). The second about bacteria vs archaea is a taxonomic distinction (not disease - microbe). The fourth about disease - symptoms is about disease manifestations (not microbe - disease). The fifth about bacteria - environment is ecological (not disease - microbe). For question 6, the first option is wrong as the microbe must be in all (not a few) disease cases. The fourth is wrong as the microbe should be in diseased (not healthy) organisms.

Answer:

Question 5: C. Establish a relationship between a specific organism and the disease it causes
Question 6: B. Inoculate the microbe from the diseased organism and grow the microbe in pure culture; C. The cultured microbe should be inoculated into a susceptible, healthy subject and should cause disease in the susceptible, healthy subject
