1) Archaea are cellular organisms that have unique cell membrane .
ANS: lipids
Topic:
Archaea
Bloom's/Accessibility: 1. Remember / Keyboard
NavigationASM Topic: Module 02 Cell Structure and
Function
ASM Objective: 02.03 Bacteria and Archaea have specialized structures (e.g. flagella,
endospores, and pili) that often confer critical capabilities.
Learning Outcome: 01.01c Determine the type of microbe (e.g., bacterium, fungus,
etc.) whengiven a description of a newly discovered one
2) Extant microorganisms are organisms from the fossil record that are no longer
present on Earthtoday.
ANS: FALSE

Keyboard NavigationASM Topic: Module 01
Evolution
ASM Objective: 01.05 The evolutionary relatedness of organisms is best reflected in
phylogenetic trees.
Learning Outcome: 01.02a Propose a timeline of the origin and history of
microbial life andintegrate supporting evidence into it
3) All cellular organisms can be placed into one of three , which include the
Bacteria,Archaea, and the Eukarya.

ASM Objective: 01.05 The evolutionary relatedness of organisms is best reflected in
phylogenetic trees.
Learning Outcome: 01.01b Explain Carl Woeses contributions in establishing the
three- domainsystem for classifying cellular life
4) Viruses are not generally studied by microbiologists because they are not
classified as livingorganisms.
ANS: FALSE

Bloom's/Accessibility: 2. Understand / Keyboard
NavigationASM Topic: Module 05 Microbial Systems
ASM Objective: 02.05 The replication cycles of viruses (lytic and lysogenic) differ
among viruses and are determined by their unique structures and genomes.
Learning Outcome: 01.01a Define the term microbiology
5) Microbiologists study a variety of organisms, but all are considered either Bacteria
or
Archaea.
ANS: FALSE

Bloom's/Accessibility: 2. Understand / Keyboard
NavigationASM Topic: Module 05 Microbial Systems
ASM Objective: 05.04 Microorganisms, cellular and viral, can interact with both human
and nonhuman hosts in beneficial, neutral or detrimental ways.
Learning Outcome: 01.01a Define the term microbiology
6) All eukaryotes have a membrane-delimited nucleus.
ANS: TRUE

NavigationASM Topic: Module 02 Cell Structure
and Function
, ASM Objective: 02.04 While microscopic eukaryotes (for example, fungi,
protozoa and algae) carry out some of the same processes as bacteria, many of
the cellular properties are fundamentallydifferent.
Learning Outcome: 01.01c Determine the type of microbe (e.g., bacterium, fungus,
etc.)
