WEEK 2 & 3

Topic 2 : Microbial group

This second topic is about the microbial group. Basically what I learnt in this topic is about the three major form of life which is eucaryotes, procaryotes and viruses. For eucaryotic microbes, we only focus on the fungus, molds, algae and also protozoa. First of all before we started our class on Monday we had given a task to take a picture on how and what method we use to study.

this is my method of study...so I choose to do a mind map because it easier for me to memorise the keyword....hehea

So above is my mind map that I have made after study the lecture note that had been provided by my lecturer. After finish the mind map I took a picture of it and uploaded it in the edmodo.

In the monday evening Dr. Wan asked us agained to seat with group member because we gonna do another group work task. For today group work task we have to divide everyone to every topic that we have in Microbial Group and do a summarize. So I got FUNGI....

this is my summarize about fungi. 

Fungi is an eucaryote. The characteristic of fungi is multicellular and multinucleated (except yeast), fungi is a spore bearing organism and they are absorptive heterotroph and also saprophytes. Fungi did not have chlorophyll therefor they cannot be a photosynthetic organism because they cannot undergo photosynthesis. Their cell wall is made up of chitin. the primary storage of polysaccharides for fungi is glycogen. Fungi are stationary organism and they disperse by the wind, animal and water.

There are four type of fungi that we have which is chytrids ( Chytridiomycota), zygote ( Zygomycota), sac (Ascomycetes) and club (Basidiomycetes). Fungi have three types of feeding forms which is saprobic heterotrophs, parasitic heterotrophs and mutualistic heterotrophs. Saprobic heterotroph is organism that feed on dead or decaying material organic matter. Parasitic heterotroph feeding on living host at cost to the host. Lastly, mutualistic heterotroph is feeding of or with living host without damaging it and both got benefit.

This is the overall of my other group member summarize.

Oh before I forget, we do this activity in the Popplet. All of us must sign in into the popplet and one person in every group must make a new popplet page for their group and invite other group member. each group member must contribute in giving their summarize in the popplet. So above is my group popplet mind map.

That's all for today...I'm got more knowledge when I do this activities because I search and read so many new things about fungi and other organism while searching for the content for my summary...hehe


THURSDAY!!!! 4 hours lecture!!!

4 hours lecture!!..sound like crazy but actually its very relaxing and I have a lot of fun in this 4 hours lecture. Before the class start our Dr. Wan odered 'nasi lemak' for all of us. weeeeeee ^-^.. Then, all of us must connect to the wifi but unfortunately not all of us can connect because the wifi cannot support all 45 devices that we have. So, a little bit messy in the morning, our Dr call the technician to fix it.

While the technician do their job, we start our lecture on the microbial group. In this topic we focus on the microorganism ecological role.

This is all of the ecological role of the microrganism that I had learnt from the lecture.

After we have a lecture about 2 hours we took a break for 10 minutes. This is the time for us to eat the 'nasi lemak' weeeeeee... Its so delicious I like it. Thanks to Dr Wan who bought that nasi lemak' for us. I really enjoy ate it...hehea..

Start agained our lecturer on the microbial group. Then, Dr wan ask us to connect to the internet to do next task in the Quizlet. This is an individual task. I need to fill in 50 terms with its difinition and its all must be related to our next topic which is Microbial nutrition and metabolism.

this is apart of my terms in quizlet.

After done with quizlet exercise, I and all of my classmate have another task. This time it was a quiz, very interesting and fun quiz we have. I really enjoy it. My lecturer ask us to open Kahoot.com and join the quiz in the form of game. Its like a game and played it with all of the classmate. First time I played this and make me feel really nervous. I'm really had so much fun for today.


IT'S FRIDAY NOW!!!

Today is our replacement class for 2 hours. For today lecture we continued last night lecture on the microbial group. Today I study on the General consideration of microbial features . There are 5 general consideration of microbial features.

microbial features 

1) Microbial size

2) Microbial cell structure

3) Microbial cell replication

4) Cell nutrition

5) Cell behavior

After finish on the microbial group topic, then we go to another topic which is Microbial nutrition and metabolism. Focus on nutrition first, in nutrition we will learnt about diversity in nutritional requirements of microorganism. Most microbes require fewer nutrients than do large life forms. The function of nutrient requirement by a microbe is similar or identical to that of a large life form. 

terms related to temperature.

TERMS RELATED TO pH is :

-acidophiles (low pH)

-alkalinophiles (high pH)

TERMS RELATED TO LOW WATER ACTIVITY :

-osmophile (can stand hypertonic)

-xerotolerant (dry)

After we finish on the microbial nutrition lecture, we must connet to the internet and again we play kahoot.

After finish playing this game and the winner is Cheo, so end of our fun for today and for this week..hehe..hope we will play again this game next week...thats all thank you..
