,chapter 1: an invisible world
nina parker: openstax microbiology/microbiology by openstax. test bank
multiple choice
1. which of the following is true of the microbial world?
a. all microbes are harmful.
b. humans could survive without microbes.
c. many microbes are helpful.*(answer)
d. most microbes are pathogenic.
feedback:
the microbial world includes a vast diversity of organisms, many of which are beneficial.
microbes play essential roles in digestion, vitamin production, decomposition, and even
in the production of certain foods and medicines. while some microbes are indeed
harmful (pathogens), the majority are either neutral or beneficial to humans and
ecosystems.
difficulty: easy
asm standard: 23, 24
2. which of the following is when humans first suspected the existence of microbes?
a. during the industrial revolution
b. in prehistoric times*(answer)
c. in the last century
d. within the last 500 years
feedback:
even in prehistoric times, humans suspected that invisible agents could cause disease,
spoil food, or lead to infection. although they had no scientific proof, observations of
illness spreading or food rotting led to early beliefs in unseen life forms.
difficulty: easy
, asm standard: 23
3. which individual first observed unicellular organisms, which he called “animalcules,”
using a microscope he developed?
a. robert koch
b. louis pasteur
c. thucydides
d. antonie van leeuwenhoek*(answer)
feedback:
antonie van leeuwenhoek is credited with being the first to observe single-celled
organisms—what he called "animalcules"—through microscopes he constructed himself.
his work laid the foundation for microbiology.
difficulty: easy
asm standard: 6
4. to reduce the risk of open flame from bunsen burners, microbiologists are increasingly
using which of the following devices for easy, rapid benchtop sterilization of small pieces
of equipment?
a. autoclaves
b. ethylene oxide
c. incubators
d. microincinerators*(answer)
feedback:
microincinerators provide a flameless heat source that safely sterilizes tools like
inoculating loops. unlike bunsen burners, they minimize the risk of fire and are ideal in
settings where open flames are hazardous.
difficulty: easy
asm standard: 36
