Chapter 01: Bacterial Cell Structure, Physiology, Metabolism, and Genetics Mahon
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.
CORRECT ANSWER: D
C
The chapter begins by discussing the way microbial inhabitants have had to evolve to survive in
many different niches and habitats. It discusses slow growers, rapid growers, and replication with
LE
scarce or abundant nutrients, under different atmospheric conditions, temperature requirements,
and cell structure. Bacterial shape as a form of evolution is not discussed.
ST
OBJ: Level 2: Interpretation
2. Who was considered the father of protozoology and bacteriology?
BE
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
C
4. This form of DNA is commonly found in eukaryotic cells.
a.
b.
Linear
Circular
LE
c. Plasmid
ST
d. Colloid
CORRECT ANSWER: A
Circular and plasmid DNA are usually found only in bacteria, not eukaryotic cells. Colloid is a
BE
property of protein molecules and is not associated with nucleotides.
OBJ: Level 1: Recall
5. The nuclear membrane in prokaryotes is
a. missing.
b. impenetrable.
c. a classic membrane.
d. a lipid bilayer membrane.
CORRECT ANSWER: A
