CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION TO MICROBES AND THEIR
BUILDING BLOCKS
1. Which of the following is the basic unit of life?
A. Atom
B. Cell
C. Organ
D. Molecule
, Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The cell is considered the fundamental unit of life, as
it is the smallest unit capable of performing all the functions
necessary for life.
2. Microorganisms are primarily classified into which of the
following categories?
A. Prokaryotes and eukaryotes
B. Flora and fauna
C. Animals and plants
D. Pathogens and non-pathogens
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Microorganisms are classified as prokaryotes (e.g.,
bacteria) and eukaryotes (e.g., fungi, algae), based on cellular
structure.
3. Which of the following structures is characteristic of prokaryotic
cells?
A. Nucleus
B. Mitochondria
