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

3. Prokaryotic cells have which of the following structures in their cytoplasm?
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
a. Golgi apparatus xx
b. Ribosomes
c. Mitochondria

.
, ANS: A xx
Circular and plasmid DNA are usually found only in bacteria, not eukaryotic cells. Colloid is
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx x
a property of protein molecules and is not associated with nucleotides.

xx xx xx xx xx
a. missing.
b. impenetrable.
c. a classic membrane. xx xx

a. Fungi
b. Bacteria
c. Algae
d. Parasite
ANS: B xx
Fungi, algae, and parasites are unicellular eukaryotic organisms that contain a true nucleus
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
.Bacteria are prokaryotic and do not contain a true nucleus or nuclear membrane.

xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
a. isolating microorganisms. xx
b. selecting treatment for patients. xx xx xx
c. identifying microorganisms. xx
d. analyzing bacteria that cause disease. xx xx xx xx
ANS: B xx
Clinical microbiologists do not select the treatment for patients. They provide the doctor witht
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx x
he name of the organism and the antibiotics that can kill the bacteria, but not in the final se
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
lection of treatment protocols.
xx xx xx
OBJ: Level 2: Recallxx xx xx
8. What enables the microbiologist to select the correct media for primary culture and optimiz
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
ethe chance of isolating a pathogenic organism?
x xx xx xx xx xx xx
a. Determining staining characteristics xx xx
b. Understanding the cell structure and biochemical pathways of an organism xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
c. Understanding the growth requirements of potential pathogens at specific body site xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
