MULTIPLE CHOICE v
1. To survive, microbial inhabitants have learned to adapt by varying all of the following, except
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
a. growth rate. v
b. growth in all atmospheric conditions. v v v v
c. growth at particular temperatures. v v v
d. bacterial shape. v
ANSWER: D v
The chapter begins by discussing the way microbial inhabitants have had to evolve to survivein
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
many different niches and habitats. It discusses slow growers, rapid growers, and replication
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
with scarce or abundant nutrients, under different atmospheric conditions, temperature
v v v v v v v v v v
requirements, and cell structure. Bacterial shape as a form of evolution is not discussed.

2. Who was considered the father of protozoology and bacteriology?
v v v v v v v v
a. Anton van Leeuwenhoek v v
b. Louis Pasteur v
c. Carl Landsteiner v
d. Michael Douglas v
ANSWER: A v
The book discusses Anton van Leeuwenhoek as the inventor of the microscope and the first
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
person to see the ―beasties.‖ So they dubbed him the father of protozoology and bacteriology.The
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
other three individuals were not discussed.

OBJ: Level 1: Recall v v v
3. Prokaryotic cells have which of the following structures in their cytoplasm? v v v v v v v v v v
a. Golgi apparatus v
b. Ribosomes
c. Mitochondria
d. Endoplasmic reticulum v
ANSWER: B v
All the structures listed are found in eukaryotic cells, but ribosomes are the only ones
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
thatapply to prokaryotic cells.
v v v v v
OBJ: Level 1: Recall v v v
4. This form of DNA is commonly found in eukaryotic cells.
v v v v v v v v v
a. Linear
b. Circular
c. Plasmid
d. Colloid
.
.
, ANSWER: A v
Circular and plasmid DNA are usually found only in bacteria, not eukaryotic cells. Colloid isa
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
property of protein molecules and is not associated with nucleotides.

OBJ: Level 1: Recallv v v
5. The nuclear membrane in prokaryotes is
v v v v v
a. missing.
b. impenetrable.
c. a classic membrane.
v v
d. a lipid bilayer membrane.
v v v
ANSWER: A v
Prokaryotic cells do not have any membrane-bound structures in the cytoplasm including
v v v v v v v v v v v
astructured nucleus.
v v v
OBJ: Level 1: Recallv v v
6. A microorganism that is a unicellular organism and lacks a nuclear membrane and
v v v v v v v v v v v v
vtruenucleus belongs to which classification?
v v v v v
a. Fungi
b. Bacteria
c. Algae
d. Parasite
ANSWER: B v
Fungi, algae, and parasites are unicellular eukaryotic organisms that contain a true
v v v v v v v v v v v
nucleus.Bacteria are prokaryotic and do not contain a true nucleus or nuclear membrane.

OBJ: Level 1: Recallv v v
7. In the laboratory, the clinical microbiologist is responsible for all the following, except
v v v v v v v v v v v v
a. isolating microorganisms. v
b. selecting treatment for patients. v v v
c. identifying microorganisms. v
d. analyzing bacteria that cause disease. v v v v
ANSWER: B v
Clinical microbiologists do not select the treatment for patients. They provide the doctor withthe
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
name of the organism and the antibiotics that can kill the bacteria, but not in the final selection of
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
treatment protocols.

8. What enables the microbiologist to select the correct media for primary culture and optimizethe
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
vchance of isolating a pathogenic organism?

a. Determining staining characteristics v v
b. Understanding the cell structure and biochemical pathways of an organism v v v v v v v v v
c. Understanding the growth requirements of potential pathogens at specific body site v v v v v v v v v v
