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 atmospheric conditions.
c. growth at particular temperatures.
d. bacterial shape.
ANSWER: D
The chapter begins by discussing the way microbial inhabitants have had to evolve to survive
in many different niches and habitats. It discusses slow growers, rapid growers, and
replication with scarce or abundant nutrients, under different atmospheric conditions,
temperature requirements, 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
ANSWER: A
The book discusses Anton van Leeuwenhoek as the inventor of the microscope and the first
person to see the “beasties.” So they dubbed him the father of protozoology and bacteriology.
The other 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
ANSWER: B
All the structures listed are found in eukaryotic cells, but ribosomes are the only ones that
apply to prokaryotic cells.
OBJ: Level 1: Recall
4. This form of DNA is commonly found in eukaryotic cells.
a. Linear
b. Circular
c. Plasmid
d. Colloid
, ANSWER: A
Circular aand aplasmid aDNA aare ausually afound aonly ain abacteria, anot aeukaryotic acells.
aColloid aisaa aproperty aof aprotein amolecules aand ais anot aassociated awith anucleotides.
OBJ: a Level a1: aRecall
5. The anuclear amembrane ain aprokaryotes ais
a. missing.
b. impenetrable.
c. a aclassic amembrane.
d. a alipid abilayer amembrane.
ANSWER: a A
Prokaryotic acells ado anot ahave aany amembrane-bound astructures ain athe acytoplasm
aincluding aaastructured anucleus.
OBJ: a Level a1: aRecall
6. A amicroorganism athat ais aa aunicellular aorganism aand alacks aa anuclear amembrane
aand atrueanucleus abelongs ato awhich aclassification?
a. Fungi
b. Bacteria
c. Algae
d. Parasite
ANSWER: a B
Fungi, aalgae, aand aparasites aare aunicellular aeukaryotic aorganisms athat acontain aa atrue
anucleus.aBacteria aare aprokaryotic a and ado anot a contain aa atrue anucleus aor anuclear
amembrane.
OBJ: a Level a1: aRecall
7. In athe alaboratory, athe aclinical amicrobiologist ais aresponsible afor aall athe afollowing, aexcept
a. isolating amicroorganisms.
b. selecting atreatment afor apatients.
c. identifying amicroorganisms.
d. analyzing abacteria athat acause adisease.
ANSWER: a B
Clinical amicrobiologists ado anot aselect athe atreatment afor apatients. aThey aprovide athe
adoctor awithathe aname aof athe aorganism aand athe aantibiotics athat acan akill athe abacteria, abut
anot ain athe afinal aselection aof atreatment aprotocols.
OBJ: a Level a2: aRecall
8. What aenables athe amicrobiologist ato aselect athe acorrect amedia afor aprimary aculture aand
aoptimizeathe achance aof aisolating aa apathogenic aorganism?
a. Determining astaining acharacteristics
b. Understanding athe acell astructure aand abiochemical apathways aof aan aorganism
c. Understanding athe agrowth arequirements aof apotential apathogens aat aspecific abody asite
