MULTIPLE CHOICE bb




1. To survive, microbial inhabitants have learned to adapt by varying all of the following, except
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb



a. growth rate. bb



b. growth in all atmospheric conditions. bb bb bb bb



c. growth at particular temperatures. bb bb bb



d. bacterial shape. bb




ANSWER: D bb



The chapter begins by discussing the way microbial inhabitants have had to evolve to
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb



survivein many different niches and habitats. It discusses slow growers, rapid growers,
bb b bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb



and replication with scarce or abundant nutrients, under different atmospheric conditions,
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb



temperature requirements, and cell structure. Bacterial shape as a form of evolution is not
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb



discussed.

d. Michael Douglas bb




ANSWER: A bb



The book discusses Anton van Leeuwenhoek as the inventor of the microscope and the

3. Prokaryotic cells have which of the following structures in their cytoplasm?
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb



a. Golgi apparatus bb



b. Ribosomes
c. Mitochondria

bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb



a. isolating microorganisms. bb



b. selecting treatment for patients. bb bb bb



c. identifying microorganisms. bb



d. analyzing bacteria that cause disease. bb bb bb bb




ANSWER: B bb



Clinical microbiologists do not select the treatment for patients. They provide the doctor
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb



withthe name of the organism and the antibiotics that can kill the bacteria, but not in the
