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

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

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

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

OBJ: Level 1: Recall ff ff ff
6. A microorganism that is a unicellular organism and lacks a nuclear membrane and
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
ff truenucleus belongs to which classification?
f ff ff ff ff
a. Fungi
b. Bacteria
c. Algae
d. Parasite
ANSWER: B ff
Fungi, algae, and parasites are unicellular eukaryotic organisms that contain a true
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
nucleus.Bacteria are prokaryotic and do not contain a true nucleus or nuclear
ff f ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
membrane.

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

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