,PART ONE: INTRODUCTION TO MICROBIOLOGY
Chapter 1: The Evolution Of Microorganisms And Microbiology
Joanne Willey: Prescott's Microbiology 12th Edition, (2023) Test Bank




1) Archaea Are Cellular Organisms That Have Unique Cell Membrane .


ANSWER: Lipids
Feedback: Archaea Have Unique Membrane Lipids Composed Of Ether-Linked
Isoprenoids, Which Are Distinct From The Ester-Linked Fatty Acids Found In Bacteria And
Eukaryotes. These Lipids Provide Stability In Extreme Environments, Which Is A Hallmark
Of Many Archaeal Species.
Topic: Archaea
Bloom's/Accessibility: 1. Remember / Keyboard Navigation ASM Topic: Module 02 Cell
Structure And Function
ASM Objective: 02.03 Bacteria And Archaea Have Specialized Structures (E.G. Flagella,
Endospores, And Pili) That Often Confer Critical Capabilities.
Learning Outcome: 01.01c Determine The Type Of Microbe (E.G., Bacterium, Fungus,
Etc.) When Given A Description Of A Newly Discovered One


2) Extant Microorganisms Are Organisms From The Fossil Record That Are No Longer
Present On Earth Today.


ANSWER: FALSE
Feedback: "Extant" Means Currently Living Or Existing. Therefore, Extant
Microorganisms Are Those That Are Still Present Today, Not Extinct. The Statement
Incorrectly Defines "Extant" As Extinct.
Topic: Taxonomy Of Microorganisms Bloom's/Accessibility: 2. Understand / Keyboard
Navigation ASM Topic: Module 01 Evolution

,ASM Objective: 01.05 The Evolutionary Relatedness Of Organisms Is Best Reflected In
Phylogenetic Trees.
Learning Outcome: 01.02a Propose A Timeline Of The Origin And History Of Microbial
Life And Integrate Supporting Evidence Into It


3) All Cellular Organisms Can Be Placed Into One Of Three , Which Include The Bacteria,
Archaea, And The Eukarya.


ANSWER: Domains
Feedback: The Highest Taxonomic Rank In Biological Classification Is "Domain." The
Three Domains Of Life Are Bacteria, Archaea, And Eukarya, Based On Differences In
Ribosomal RNA Sequences And Other Molecular Evidence.
Topic: Taxonomy Of Microorganisms Bloom's/Accessibility: 2. Understand / Keyboard
Navigation ASM Topic: Module 01 Evolution
ASM Objective: 01.05 The Evolutionary Relatedness Of Organisms Is Best Reflected In
Phylogenetic Trees.
Learning Outcome: 01.01b Explain Carl Woeses Contributions In Establishing The Three-
Domain System For Classifying Cellular Life


4) Viruses Are Not Generally Studied By Microbiologists Because They Are Not Classified
As Living Organisms.


ANSWER: FALSE
Feedback: Despite Not Being Considered Truly "Living" (As They Cannot Reproduce
Independently), Viruses Are Extensively Studied By Microbiologists Due To Their
Medical, Environmental, And Molecular Importance.
Topic: Taxonomy Of Microorganisms
Bloom's/Accessibility: 2. Understand / Keyboard Navigation ASM Topic: Module 05
Microbial Systems

,ASM Objective: 02.05 The Replication Cycles Of Viruses (Lytic And Lysogenic) Differ
Among Viruses And Are Determined By Their Unique Structures And Genomes.
Learning Outcome: 01.01a Define The Term Microbiology


5) Microbiologists Study A Variety Of Organisms, But All Are Considered Either Bacteria
Or Archaea.


ANSWER: FALSE
Feedback: Microbiologists Study A Wide Range Of Microorganisms, Including Bacteria,
Archaea, Viruses, Fungi, Protozoa, And Some Algae. Therefore, The Field Is Not Limited
To Just Bacteria And Archaea.
Topic: Taxonomy Of Microorganisms
Bloom's/Accessibility: 2. Understand / Keyboard Navigation ASM Topic: Module 05
Microbial Systems
ASM Objective: 05.04 Microorganisms, Cellular And Viral, Can Interact With Both Human
And Nonhuman Hosts In Beneficial, Neutral Or Detrimental Ways.
Learning Outcome: 01.01a Define The Term Microbiology


6) All Eukaryotes Have A Membrane-Delimited Nucleus.


ANSWER: TRUE
Feedback: A Defining Feature Of Eukaryotic Cells Is The Presence Of A True Nucleus
Enclosed By A Nuclear Membrane, Where The Genetic Material Is Housed.
Topic: Taxonomy Of Microorganisms Bloom's/Accessibility: 2. Understand / Keyboard
Navigation ASM Topic: Module 02 Cell Structure And Function
ASM Objective: 02.04 While Microscopic Eukaryotes (For Example, Fungi, Protozoa And
Algae) Carry Out Some Of The Same Processes As Bacteria, Many Of The Cellular
Properties Are Fundamentally Different.

,Learning Outcome: 01.01c Determine The Type Of Microbe (E.G., Bacterium, Fungus,
Etc.) When Given A Description Of A Newly Discovered One


7) Viruses Constitute The Fourth Domain Of Life In Current Biological Classification
Schemes.


ANSWER: FALSE
Feedback: Viruses Are Not Classified Within Any Of The Three Domains Of Life Because
They Are Acellular And Do Not Meet The Criteria For Being Considered Living Organisms.
Topic: Taxonomy Of Microorganisms Bloom's/Accessibility: 2. Understand / Keyboard
Navigation ASM Topic: Module 01 Evolution
ASM Objective: 01.05 The Evolutionary Relatedness Of Organisms Is Best Reflected In
Phylogenetic Trees.
Learning Outcome: 01.01b Explain Carl Woeses Contributions In Establishing The Three-
Domain System For Classifying Cellular Life


8) Protists Contain All Of The Following Forms Of Life EXCEPT .
A) Protozoa
B) Fungi
C) Slime Molds
D) Algae


ANSWER: B
Feedback: Fungi Are Classified In Their Own Kingdom, Separate From Protista. Protists
Include Protozoa, Algae, And Slime Molds, Which Are Mostly Unicellular Eukaryotes.

Phylogenetic Trees.
Learning Outcome: 01.01b Explain Carl Woeses Contributions In Establishing The Three-
Domain System For Classifying Cellular Life


9) Cells With A Relatively Complex Morphology That Have A True Membrane-Delimited
Nucleus Are Called .
A) Prokaryotes
B) Eukaryotes
C) Urkaryotes
D) Nokaryotes


ANSWER: B
Feedback: Eukaryotes Have A Complex Internal Structure, Including A True Nucleus
Enclosed In A Membrane. This Contrasts With Prokaryotes, Which Lack Such Features.
Topic: Taxonomy Of Microorganisms Bloom's/Accessibility: 2. Understand / Keyboard
Navigation ASM Topic: Module 02 Cell Structure And Function

Properties Are Fundamentally Different.
Learning Outcome: 01.01c Determine The Type Of Microbe (E.G., Bacterium, Fungus,
Etc.) When Given A Description Of A Newly Discovered One


10) Cells With A Relatively Simple Cell Morphology That Do Not Have A True Membrane-
Delimited Nucleus Are Called .
A) Prokaryotes
B) Eukaryotes
