MULTIPLE CHOICE c
1. To survive, microbial inhabitants have learned to adapt by varying all of the following, except
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c
a. growth rate. c
b. growth in all atmospheric conditions. c c c c
c. growth at particular temperatures. c c c
d. bacterial shape. c
ANSWER: D c
The chapter begins by discussing the way microbial inhabitants have had to evolve to
c c c c c c c c c c c c c
survivein many different niches and habitats. It discusses slow growers, rapid growers, and
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c
replication with scarce or abundant nutrients, under different atmospheric conditions,
c c c c c c c c c c
temperature requirements, and cell structure. Bacterial shape as a form of evolution is not

discussed.

2. Who was considered the father of protozoology and bacteriology?
c c c c c c c c
a. Anton van Leeuwenhoek c c
b. Louis Pasteur c
c. Carl Landsteiner c
d. Michael Douglas c
ANSWER: A c
The book discusses Anton van Leeuwenhoek as the inventor of the microscope and the first
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c
person to see the ―beasties.‖ So they dubbed him the father of protozoology and

3. Prokaryotic cells have which of the following structures in their cytoplasm?
c c c c c c c c c c
a. Golgi apparatus c
b. Ribosomes
c. Mitochondria

c c c c c c c c c c c c
ctruenucleus belongs to which classification?
c c c c c
a. Fungi
b. Bacteria
c. Algae

c c c c c c c c c c c c
a. isolating microorganisms. c
b. selecting treatment for patients. c c c
c. identifying microorganisms. c
d. analyzing bacteria that cause disease. c c c c
ANSWER: B c
Clinical microbiologists do not select the treatment for patients. They provide the doctor
c c c c c c c c c c c c
