CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION TO MICROBES AND THEIR
BUILDING BLOCKS
1. Which of the following is considered a prokaryotic
microorganism?
A. Yeast
B. Bacterium
C. Protozoan
, D. Fungi
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Bacteria are prokaryotic microorganisms, lacking a
nucleus, while yeast, protozoans, and fungi are eukaryotic.
2. What is the primary function of ribosomes in a bacterial cell?
A. Energy production
B. Protein synthesis
C. DNA replication
D. Transport of materials
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis in
both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
3. Which macromolecule forms the structural component of the
bacterial cell wall?
A. Protein
B. Lipid
C. Polysaccharide
D. Peptidoglycan
Correct Answer: D
