MULTIPLE CHOICE Qg
1. To survive, microbial inhabitants have learned to adapt by varying all of the following, except
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
a. growth rate. Qg
b. growth in all atmospheric conditions. Qg Qg Qg Qg
c. growth at particular temperatures. Qg Qg Qg
d. bacterial shape. Qg
ANSWER: D Qg
The chapter begins by discussing the way microbial inhabitants have had to evolve to
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
survivein many different niches and habitats. It discusses slow growers, rapid
Qg gQ Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
growers, and replication with scarce or abundant nutrients, under different
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
atmospheric conditions, temperature requirements, and cell structure. Bacterial

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

and truenucleus belongs to which classification?
Qg Qg gQ Qg Qg Qg Qg
a. Fungi
b. Bacteria
c. Algae
d. Parasite
ANSWER: B Qg
Fungi, algae, and parasites are unicellular eukaryotic organisms that contain a true
Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg

a. isolating microorganisms. Qg
b. selecting treatment for patients. Qg Qg Qg
c. identifying microorganisms. Qg
d. analyzing bacteria that cause disease. Qg Qg Qg Qg
ANSWER: B Qg
Clinical microbiologists do not select the treatment for patients. They provide the

doctor withthe name of the organism and the antibiotics that can kill the bacteria,
Qg Qg gQ Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg Qg
