Part 1: Introduction to Clinical Microbiology
Chapter 01: Bacterial Cell Structure, Physiology, Metabolism, and Genetics
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 atmospheric2conditions.
c. growth at particular temperatures.
d. bacterial shape.
ANS: D
The chapter begins by discussing the way microbial inhabitants have had to evolve to survivein
many different niches and habitats. It discusses slow growers, rapid growers, and replication wi
th scarce or abundant nutrients, under different atmospheric conditions, temperature requireme
nts, 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
ANS: A
The book discusses Anton van Leeuwenhoek as the inventor of the microscope and the first perso
n to see the ―beasties.‖ So they dubbed him the father of protozoology and bacteriology.The ot
her 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
ANS: B
All the structures listed are found in eukaryotic cells, but ribosomes are the only ones thatap
ply to prokaryotic cells.
OBJ: Level 1: Recall
4. This form of DNA2is2commonly found in eukaryotic cells.
