Chapter 1 The Evolution of Microorganisms and Microbiology
| | | | | |




1) Archaea |are |cellular |organisms |that |have |unique |cell |membrane | .

Answer: lipids |

Topic:

|Archaea
Bloom's/Accessibility: 1. Remember / Keyboard | | | |

Navigation ASM Topic: Module 02 Cell Structure
| | | | | | |

and Function
| |

ASM Objective: 02.03 Bacteria and Archaea have specialized structures (e.g. flagella,
| | | | | | | | | |

endospores, and pili) that often confer critical capabilities.
| | | | | | | |

Learning Outcome: 01.01c Determine the type of microbe (e.g., bacterium, fungus,
| | | | | | | | | |

etc.) when given a description of a newly discovered one
| | | | | | | | | |




2) Extant |microorganisms |are |organisms |from |the |fossil |record |that |are |no |longer
present on Earth today.
| | | |




Answer: FALSE |

Topic: Taxonomy of Microorganisms | |

Bloom's/Accessibility: 2. Understand / Keyboard
| | | | |

Navigation ASM Topic: Module 01 Evolution
| | | | | |

ASM Objective: 01.05 The evolutionary relatedness of organisms is best reflected in
| | | | | | | | | | |

phylogenetic trees.
| |

Learning Outcome: 01.02a Propose a timeline of the origin and history of microbial
| | | | | | | | | | | |

life and integrate supporting evidence into it
| | | | | | |




3) All |cellular |organisms |can |be |placed |into |one |of |three | , which include the
| | |

Bacteria, Archaea, and the Eukarya.
| | | | |

,Answer: domains |

Topic: Taxonomy of Microorganisms | |

Navigation ASM Topic: Module 01 Evolution
| | | | | |

ASM Objective: 01.05 The evolutionary relatedness of organisms is best reflected in
| | | | | | | | | | |

phylogenetic trees.
| |

Learning Outcome: 01.01b Explain Carl Woeses contributions in establishing the three-
| | | | | | | | | |

domain system for classifying cellular life
| | | | |



4) Viruses |are |not |generally |studied |by |microbiologists |because |they |are |not |classified
as living organisms.
| | |




Answer: FALSE |

Topic: Taxonomy of Microorganisms
| | |

Bloom's/Accessibility: 2. Understand / Keyboard | | | |

Navigation ASM Topic: Module 05 Microbial
| | | | | |

Systems
|

ASM Objective: 02.05 The replication cycles of viruses (lytic and lysogenic) differ
| | | | | | | | | | |

among viruses and are determined by their unique structures and genomes.
| | | | | | | | | | |

Learning Outcome: 01.01a Define the term microbiology
| | | | | | |




5) Microbiologists |study |a |variety |of |organisms, |but |all |are |considered |either |Bacteria |or
Archaea.
|




Answer: FALSE |

Topic: Taxonomy of Microorganisms
| | |

Bloom's/Accessibility: 2. Understand / Keyboard | | | |

Navigation ASM Topic: Module 05 Microbial
| | | | | |

Systems
|

ASM Objective: 05.04 Microorganisms, cellular and viral, can interact with both
| | | | | | | | | |

human and nonhuman hosts in beneficial, neutral or detrimental ways.
| | | | | | | | | |

Learning Outcome: 01.01a Define the term microbiology
| | | | | | |




6) All |eukaryotes |have |a |membrane-delimited |nucleus.

Answer: TRUE |

Topic: Taxonomy of Microorganisms | |

Bloom's/Accessibility: 2. Understand / Keyboard
| | | | |

Navigation ASM Topic: Module 02 Cell Structure
| | | | | | |

and Function
| |

ASM Objective: 02.04 While microscopic eukaryotes (for example, fungi, protozoa
| | | | | | | | |

and algae) carry out some of the same processes as bacteria, many of the cellular
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

properties are fundamentally different.
| | | |

Learning Outcome: 01.01c Determine the type of microbe (e.g., bacterium, fungus,
| | | | | | | | | |

etc.) when given a description of a newly discovered one
| | | | | | | | | |




7) Viruses |constitute |the |fourth |domain |of |life |in |current |biological |classification |schemes.
