Chapter 1 The Evolution of Microorganisms and Microbiology

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

Ansẅer: 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.) ẅhen
given a description of a neẅly discovered one

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

Ansẅer: 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
Archaea, and the Eukarya.

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.

Ansẅer: 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.

Ansẅer: 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 ẅith both human and
nonhuman hosts in beneficial, neutral or detrimental ẅays.
Learning Outcome: 01.01a Define the term microbiology

6)All eukaryotes have a membrane-delimited nucleus.

Ansẅer: 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.) ẅhen
given a description of a neẅly discovered one


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

Ansẅer: FALSE
