Jeffrey C. Pommerville: Alcamo's Fundamentals of Microbiology 12th Edition, (2021) Test Bank
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Who Was One Of The Early Natural Philosophers Who Coined The Name “Cella” For
The Empty Cork Spaces That Became The Word We Use Today, “Cells”?
A. Robert Hooke
B. Zacharias Janssen
C. Francesco Stalluti
D. Giovanni Faber
ANS: A.
Robert Hooke, In 1665, Used A Compound Microscope To Examine A Thin Slice Of
Cork. He Observed Tiny Compartments, Which He Named “Cells” Because They
Reminded Him Of The Small Rooms (Cellae) In A Monastery.
2. Leeuwenhoek Made Lenses That Allowed Him To Magnify Objects More Than 200x.
However, He Failed To Promote Scientific Inquiry Because:
A. He Didn't Share His Drawings With Other Scientists.
B. He Didn't Reveal How He Ground The Lenses And No One Else Was Doing It That
Well.
C. He Limited His Research To Pond Water.
D. It Was Only A Hobby, And He Didn't Live Very Long.
ANS: B.
Although Leeuwenhoek Made Groundbreaking Discoveries, Such As Observing Bacteria
And Protozoa, He Never Disclosed His Lens-Making Techniques. This Secrecy
Prevented Other Scientists From Replicating His Findings And Slowed Scientific
Progress.
,3. Leeuwenhoek Was The First Person To:
A. See Viruses.
B. Use A Microscope.
C. Describe Bacteria.
D. Suggest Animalcules Caused Disease.
ANS: C.
Using His Handcrafted Microscopes, Leeuwenhoek Was The First To Observe And
Describe Bacteria (Which He Called "Animalcules") In The Late 1600s.
4. Francesco Redi Is Famous For Performing One Of The First Experiments Over The
Debate Regarding Spontaneous Generation. What Was His Experiment?
A. He Boiled Some Mutton Gravy And Sealed The Tops With Corks.
B. He Covered Some Jars Of Meat With Gauze And Left Others Open. The Covered Jars
Did Not Develop Maggots, The Uncovered Ones Did.
C. He Showed That Mice Will Appear With Damp Rags And Rice.
D. He Boiled Broth For Longer Periods Of Time And Sealed The Tops With Melted
Glass.
ANS: B.
Redi’s Experiment In The 17th Century Provided Strong Evidence Against Spontaneous
Generation By Demonstrating That Maggots Only Appeared On Uncovered Meat,
Proving They Came From Flies, Not Spontaneously.
5. Who Did Not Attempt To Prove Or Refute The Idea Of Spontaneous Generation?
A. Francesco Redi
B. Robert Koch
C. Lazzaro Spallanzani
D. Louis Pasteur
,ANS: B.
Robert Koch Is Best Known For His Work On Germ Theory And Identifying The Causes
Of Specific Infectious Diseases, But He Did Not Directly Engage In The Spontaneous
Generation Debate.
6. Which One Of The Following Would Be Consistent With The Idea Of Spontaneous
Generation?
A. Microorganisms May Be Cultivated On Solid Laboratory Media.
B. Insects Are Important In The Transmission Of Disease.
C. Sick People Give Rise To Microorganisms In Their Body.
D. Disinfection Is Essential To Prevent The Spread Of Microorganisms.
ANS: C.
Spontaneous Generation Suggested That Life Could Arise From Non-Living Matter, So
The Idea That Microorganisms Simply Appeared In Sick Individuals Aligns With This
Outdated Concept.
7. Spallanzani’s Experiments Showed That:
A. Viruses Were Transmitted By Water.
B. Spontaneous Generation Occurs.
C. Miasma Was The Cause Of Disease.
D. Experiments Can Be Modified To Test A Hypothesis.
ANS: D.
Spallanzani's Experiments, Where He Boiled Broth And Sealed It To Prevent
Contamination, Demonstrated That Experimental Conditions Could Be Controlled To
Test Scientific Hypotheses Effectively.
8. Which Pair Of Scientists Were Antagonists During The Same Period Of History?
A. Pasteur And Ehrlich
B. Koch And Leeuwenhoek
, C. Spallanzani And Needham
D. Pasteur And Snow
ANS: C.
John Needham And Lazzaro Spallanzani Had Opposing Views On Spontaneous
Generation. Needham’s Experiments Seemed To Support Spontaneous Generation, While
Spallanzani’s Refuted It.
9. Semmelweis Showed That The Transmission Of Disease Could Be Interrupted By:
A. Killing Disease-Carrying Mosquitoes.
B. Disinfecting Water Supplies.
C. Pasteurizing Milk.
D. Washing Hands In Chlorine Water.
ANS: D.
Ignaz Semmelweis Demonstrated That Handwashing In Chlorine Water Drastically
Reduced Infections In Maternity Wards, Highlighting The Importance Of Hygiene In
Disease Prevention.
10. In 1854, John Snow Determined That Contaminated Water Transmits:
A. Smallpox.
B. Cholera.
C. Influenza.
D. Anthrax.
ANS: B.
John Snow Traced A Cholera Outbreak To A Contaminated Water Pump In London,
Proving That Waterborne Transmission Played A Key Role In The Spread Of The
Disease.
11. John Snow Traced The Source Of An 1854 Outbreak Of Cholera To:
