MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. To survive, microbial inhabitants have learned to adapt by varying all of the following, except
a. growth rate.
b. growth in all atmospheric conditions.
c. growth at particular temperatures.
d. bacterial shape.
Ar
CORRECT ANSWER: D
The chapter begins by discussing the way microbial inhabitants have had to evolve to survive in many different
ch
niches and habitats. It discusses slow growers, rapid growers, and 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
b. Louis Pasteur
c. Carl Landsteiner
d. Michael Douglas
CORRECT ANSWER: A
The book discusses Anton van Leeuwenhoek as the inventor of the microscope and the first person to see the
―beasties.‖ So they dubbed him the father of protozoology and bacteriology. The other three individuals were
not discussed.
OBJ: Level 1: Recall
3. Prokaryotic cells have which of the following structures in their cytoplasm?
a. Golgi apparatus
b. Ribosomes
c. Mitochondria
d. Endoplasmic reticulum
CORRECT ANSWER: B
All the structures listed are found in eukaryotic cells, but ribosomes are the only ones that apply to prokaryotic
cells.
OBJ: Level 1: Recall
4. This form of DNA is commonly found in eukaryotic cells.
a. Linear
b. Circular
