Black Death

Victims developed painful, swollen lumps called buboes, usually in the armpits, groin, or neck.
It caused high fever, chills, vomiting, and dark patches on the skin, which gave it the name "Black Death."
The disease spread rapidly and widely, often wiping out entire villages within days.
Caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis, which was primarily spread through fleas on rats.

Tackling Diseases

Antibiotic -> Kill bacteria
Vaccines -> Substances introduces into the body that activates specific white blood cells to eliminate virus or bacterium
Soap -> Keep microo­rganism away from skin, Disinf­ectants -> Kill bacteria

Aerobic & Anaerobic in Fungi (Yeast) and Bacteria

Yeast (Aerobic) -> Uses oxygen to break down sugar. Helps bread to rise when baking.
Yeast (Anaer­obic) -> Without oxygen, yeast does fermen­tation. Used in making wine and beer.
Bacteria (Aerobic) -> Some bacteria use oxygen to get energy. They produce carbon dioxide and water. These bacteria live in places with air.
Bacteria (Anaer­obic) -> Some bacteria don’t need oxygen to live. They use nitrate instead of oxygen. They live in places like mud or inside the body.
 

Kingdoms

Fungi -> Eukaryotic organisms that absorb nutrients from other materials and often act as decomp­osers. Most are multic­ell­ular, except for yeast. Examples: Mushroom, Yeast, Penici­llium.
Plants -> Multic­ell­ular, autotr­ophic organisms that make their own food through photos­ynt­hesis and have cell walls made of cellulose. Examples: Sunflower, Oak tree, Fern.
Animals -> Multic­ell­ular, hetero­trophic organisms that usually move and rely on other organisms for food. They don’t have cell walls. Examples: Human, Elephant, Butterfly.
Bacteria -> Unicel­lular prokar­yotic organisms that reproduce quickly and live in many enviro­nments. Some are helpful, while others cause diseases. Examples: Escher­ichia coli (E. coli), Strept­oco­ccus, Lactob­aci­llus.
Protists -> Mostly unicel­lular eukaryotes that don’t belong to plants, animals, or fungi. Examples: Amoeba, Parame­cium, Euglena.

Growth Curve of Yeast

Shows how its population changes over time in a culture.
It has four phases: lag phase (adjusting to the enviro­nment), expone­ntial phase (rapid growth), stationary phase (growth slows as nutrients run out), and death phase.
Helps understand yeast’s behavior in baking and fermen­tation
