MULTIPLE CHOICE TL




1. To survive, microbial inhabitants have learned to adapt by varying all of the following, except
TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL



a. growth rate. TL



b. growth in all atmospheric conditions.
TL TL TL TL



c. growth at particular temperatures. TL TL TL



d. bacterial shape. TL




ANS: D TL



The chapter begins by discussing the way microbial inhabitants have had to evolve to
TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL



survive in many different niches and habitats. It discusses slow growers, rapid growers,
TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL



and replication with scarce or abundant nutrients, under different atmospheric conditions,
TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL



temperature requirements, and cell structure. Bacterial shape as a form of evolution is
TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL



not discussed.

2. Who was considered the father of protozoology and bacteriology?
TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL



a. Anton van Leeuwenhoek TL TL



b. Louis Pasteur TL



c. Carl Landsteiner TL



d. Michael Douglas TL




ANS: A TL



The book discusses Anton van Leeuwenhoek as the inventor of the microscope and the
TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL



first person to see the “beasties.” So they dubbed him the father of protozoology and
TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL



bacteriology. The other three individuals were not discussed.

3. Prokaryotic cells have which of the following structures in their cytoplasm?
TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL



a. Golgi apparatus TL



b. Ribosomes
c. Mitochondria
d. Endoplasmic reticulum TL




ANS: B TL



All the structures listed are found in eukaryotic cells, but ribosomes are the only ones that
TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL



apply to prokaryotic cells.

4. This form of DNA is commonly found in eukaryotic cells.
TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL



a. Linear
b. Circular
c. Plasmid
d. Colloid

, ANS: A TL



Circular and plasmid DNA are usually found only in bacteria, not eukaryotic cells. Colloid
TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL



is a property of protein molecules and is not associated with nucleotides.

TL TL TL TL TL



a. missing.
b. impenetrable.

ANS: A TL



Prokaryotic cells do not have any membrane-bound structures in the cytoplasm including a
TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL



structured nucleus.

6. A microorganism that is a unicellular organism and lacks a nuclear membrane and
TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL



true nucleus belongs to which classification?
TL TL TL TL TL TL



a. Fungi
b. Bacteria
c. Algae
d. Parasite
ANS: B TL



Fungi, algae, and parasites are unicellular eukaryotic organisms that contain a true nucleus.
TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL



Bacteria are prokaryotic and do not contain a true nucleus or nuclear membrane.

7. In TL the laboratory, the clinical microbiologist is responsible for all the following, except
TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL



a. isolating microorganisms. TL



b. selecting treatment for patients. TL TL TL



c. identifying microorganisms. TL



d. analyzing bacteria that cause disease. TL TL TL TL




ANS: B TL



Clinical microbiologists do not select the treatment for patients. They provide the doctor
TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL



with the name of the organism and the antibiotics that can kill the bacteria, but not in
TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL TL



the final selection of treatment protocols.
