,Chapter 1: Introduction to Microbiology: Then and Now
Multiple Choice
1. Who was one of the early natural philosophers who coined the name “cella” for the
empty cork spaces that became the word we use today, “cells”?
A. Robert Hooke
B. Zacharias Janssen
C. Francesco Stalluti
D. Giovanni Faber
Correct Answer: A
2. Leeuwenhoek made lenses that allowed him to magnify objects more than 200X.
However, he failed to promote scientific inquiry because:
A. He didn't share his drawings with other scientists.
B. He didn't reveal how he ground the lenses and no one else was doing it that well.
C. He limited his research to pond water
D. It was only a hobby and he didn't live very long
Correct Answer: B
3. Leeuwenhoek was the first person to:
A. See viruses.
B. Use a microscope.
C. Describe bacteria.
D. Suggest animalcules caused disease.
, Correct Answer: C
4. Francesco Redi is famous for performing one of the first experiments over the debate
regarding spontaneous generation. What was his experiment?
A. He boiled some mutton gravy and sealed the tops with corks.
B. He covered some jars of meat with gauze and left others open. The covered jars did not
develop maggots, the uncovered ones did.
C. He showed that mice will appear with damp rags and rice.
D. He boiled broth for longer periods of time and sealed the tops with melted glass.
Correct Answer: B
5. Did not attempt to prove or refute the idea of spontaneous generation.
A. Francesco Redi
B. Robert Koch
C. Lazzaro Spallanzani
D. Louis Pasteur
Correct Answer: B
6. Which one of the following would be consistent with the idea of spontaneous
