ASM Objective: 02.03 Bacteria and Archaea have specialized structures (e.g. flagella,
ur
endospores, and pili) that often confer critical capabilities.

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,

ASM Topic: Module 05 Microbial Systems
ASM Objective: 02.05 The replication cycles of viruses (lytic and lysogenic) differ among
Kb
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
