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

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

3. Prokaryotic cells have which of the following structures in their cytoplasm? t t t t t t t t t t
a. Golgi apparatus t
b. Ribosomes
c. Mitochondria
d. Endoplasmic reticulum t
ANSWER: B t
All the structures listed are found in eukaryotic cells, but ribosomes are the only ones
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
thatapply to prokaryotic cells.

4. This form of DNA is commonly found in eukaryotic cells.
t t t t t t t t t
a. Linear
b. Circular
c. Plasmid
d. Colloid
.
.
, ANSWER: A t
Circular and plasmid DNA are usually found only in bacteria, not eukaryotic cells. Colloid isa
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
property of protein molecules and is not associated with nucleotides.

5. The nuclear membrane in prokaryotes is
t t t t t
a. missing.
b. impenetrable.
c. a classic membrane. t t
d. a lipid bilayer membrane.
t t t
ANSWER: A t
Prokaryotic cells do not have any membrane-bound structures in the cytoplasm including
t t t t t t t t t t t
astructured nucleus.

6. A microorganism that is a unicellular organism and lacks a nuclear membrane and
t t t t t t t t t t t t
ttruenucleus belongs to which classification?
t t t t t
a. Fungi
b. Bacteria
c. Algae
d. Parasite
ANSWER: B t
Fungi, algae, and parasites are unicellular eukaryotic organisms that contain a true
t t t t t t t t t t t
nucleus.Bacteria are prokaryotic and do not contain a true nucleus or nuclear membrane.

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