Chapter 1: introduction to microbes and their building blocks
1. Which of the following best defines a microorganism?
A. A microorganism is always harmful and causes disease.
B. A microorganism is a microscopic organism that can only be
seen under a microscope.
C. A microorganism is any organism that requires oxygen for
survival.
, D. A microorganism is any living organism that can be observed
with the naked eye.
Correct answer: b
rationale: microorganisms are tiny organisms that can only be
observed under a microscope. They include bacteria, fungi,
viruses, and others that are not always harmful.
2. What is the primary difference between prokaryotic and
eukaryotic cells?
A. Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus, while prokaryotic cells do
not.
B. Prokaryotic cells have a membrane-bound nucleus, while
eukaryotic cells do not.
C. Eukaryotic cells are always unicellular, while prokaryotic
cells are multicellular.
D. Prokaryotic cells have a complex internal structure, while
eukaryotic cells have a simple structure.
Correct answer: a
rationale: eukaryotic cells have a defined nucleus containing
