. Co!pare the effects of "#static" versus "#cidal" controla$ents on !icrobial $ro%th.
&. Define !icrobial death rate, and describe its si$nificancein !icrobial control.
'. Describe ho% anti!icrobial a$ents act a$ainst cellboundaries, proteins, and nucleic acids.
(. )dentif* the three !ost#resistant $roups of !icrobes, ande+plain %h* the* are resistant to !an* anti!icrobiala$ents.
. Describe t*pes of ph*sical !ethods of !icrobial controland discuss their advanta$es and disadvanta$es.
