MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. To survive, microbial inhabitantsJhave learned to adapt by varying all ofJthe following, except
a. growth rate.
b. growth in all atmospheric conditions.
c. growth at particular temperatures.
d. bacterial shape.
ANSWER:J D
The chapter begins by discussing the way microbial inhabitants have had toJevolve to survivein ma
ny different niches and habitats. It discusses slow growers, rapid growers, and replication with sca
rce 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:J A
The book discusses Anton van LeeuwenhoekJas the inventor of the microscope and the first person t
oJsee the “beasties.” So they dubbed him the father of protozoology and bacteriology.The other t
hree 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 thatapply
to prokaryoticJcells.
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 and plasmid DNA are usually found only in bacteria, not eukaryoticJcells. Colloid isa prop
erty ofJprotein molecules and is not associated with nucleotides.
OBJ: Level 1: Recall
5. Thenuclear membrane in prokaryotesJis
a. missing.
b. impenetrable.
c. a classic membrane.
d. alipid bilayer membrane.
ANSWER: A
Prokaryotic cells do not have any membrane-
bound structures in the cytoplasm including astructured nucleus.
OBJ: Level 1: Recall
6. A microorganism that is a unicellular organism and lacksJa nuclear membrane and truenucle
us belongsJto which classification?
a. Fungi
b. Bacteria
c. Algae
d. Parasite
ANSWER: B
Fungi, algae, and parasites are unicellular eukaryotic organisms that contain a true nucleus.Bact
eria are prokaryotic and do not contain a true nucleus or nuclear membrane.
OBJ: Level 1: Recall
7. In the laboratory, the clinical microbiologist is responsible for all the following, except
a. isolatingmicroorganisms.
b. selecting treatment for patients.
c. identifying microorganisms.
d. analyzingbacteria thatJcause disease.
ANSWER: B
Clinical microbiologists do not select the treatment for patients. They provide the doctor withthe na
me ofJthe organism and the antibiotics thatJcan kill the bacteria, butJnot in the final selection of tre
atment protocols.
OBJ: Level 2: Recall
8. What enablesJthe microbiologistJto select the correctJmedia for primary culture and optimizethe c
hance of isolating a pathogenic organism?
a. Determining staining characteristics
b. Understanding the cell structure and biochemical pathways of an organism
c. Understanding the growth requirements of potential pathogensJat specific body site
d. Knowing the differencesJin cell walls of particular bacteria
ANSWER: C
