MULTIPLE CHOICE R7
1. To survive, microbial inhabitants have learned to adapt by varying all of the following, except
R7 R7 R7 R7 R7 R7 R7 R7 R7 R7 R7 R7 R7 R7
a. growth rate. R7
b. growth in all atmospheric conditions. R7 R7 R7 R7
c. growth at particular temperatures. R7 R7 R7
d. bacterial shape. R7
ANSWER: D R 7
The chapter begins by discussing the way microbial inhabitants have had to evolve to sur
R7 R7 R7 R7 R7 R7 R7 R7 R7 R7 R7 R7 R7 R7
vivein many different niches and habitats. It discusses slow growers, rapid growers, and r

2. Who was considered the father of protozoology and bacteriology?
R7 R7 R7 R7 R7 R7 R7 R7
a. Anton van Leeuwenhoek R7 R7
b. Louis Pasteur R7
c. Carl Landsteiner R7
d. Michael Douglas R7
ANSWER: A R 7
The book discusses Anton van Leeuwenhoek as the inventor of the microscope and the f
