CHAPTER 1: THE MICROBIAL WORLD
Multiple Choice Questions
1. Which of the following is NOT a domain of life?
A) Bacteria
B) Archaea
C) Eukarya
D) Protista
Answer: D
Rationale: The three domains of life are Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya. Protista is
a kingdom within the domain Eukarya, not a separate domain.
2. Who is credited with first observing microorganisms using a simple microscope?
A) Louis Pasteur
B) Robert Koch
C) Antonie van Leeuwenhoek
D) Joseph Lister
Answer: C
Rationale: Antonie van Leeuwenhoek (1632–1723) constructed simple microscopes
and was the first to observe and describe microorganisms, which he called
"animalcules."
