MULTIPLE CHOICE st




1. To survive, microbial inhabitants have learned to adapt by varying all of the following, except
st st st st st st st st st st st st st st



a. growth rate. st



b. growth in all atmospheric conditions. st st st st



c. growth at particular temperatures. st st st



d. bacterial shape. st




ANS: D st



The chapter begins by discussing the way microbial inhabitants have had to evolve to survivein ma

3. Prokaryotic cells have which of the following structures in their cytoplasm? st st st st st st st st st st



a. Golgi apparatus st



b. Ribosomes
c. Mitochondria
