MULTIPLE-CHOICE QUESTIONS
1) which of the following pairs is mismatched?
a) pasteur – proof of biogenesis
b) ehrlich – chemotherapy
c) jenner – vaccination
d) koch – aseptic surgery
answer: d
robert koch is best known for establishing koch’s postulates, which link specific microbes
to specific diseases. aseptic surgery, on the other hand, was pioneered by joseph lister,
not koch. hence, the pair "koch – aseptic surgery" is mismatched.
2) which of the following is a scientific name?
a) streptococcus pyogenes
b) flesh-eating bacteria
c) igas
d) streptococci
e) group a streptococcus
, answer: a
a scientific name follows binomial nomenclature, which includes the genus and species
names in latin, italicized or underlined. streptococcus pyogenes fits this format. the other
choices are common names or acronyms, not formal scientific names.
3) which of the following is not a domain in the three-domain system?
a) animalia
b) eukarya
c) archaea
d) bacteria
answer: a
the three domains are bacteria, archaea, and eukarya. animalia is a kingdom within the
domain eukarya, not a domain itself. hence, it's not part of the three-domain classification
system.
4) which of the following statements about fungi is true?
a) all are prokaryotic.
b) all are multicellular.
c) all are plants.
d) all grow using sunlight and carbon dioxide.
e) all require organic material for growth.
