replication with scarce or abundant nutrients, under different atmospheric conditions,
temperature requirements, and cell structure. Bacterial shape as a form of evolution is not
discussed.

OBJ: Level 2: Interpretation

2. Who was considered the father of protozoology and bacteriology?
a. Anton van Leeuwenhoek

OBJ: Level 1: Recall

3. Prokaryotic cells have which of the following structures in their cytoplasm?
a. Golgi apparatus
b. Ribosomes
c. Mitochondria
