MULTIPLE CHOICE ss




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



a. growth rate. ss



b. growth in all atmospheric conditions. ss ss ss ss



c. growth at particular temperatures. ss ss ss



d. bacterial shape. ss




ANS: D ss



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



in many different niches and habitats. It discusses slow growers, rapid growers, and
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss



replication with scarce or abundant nutrients, under different atmospheric conditions,
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss



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



discussed.

5. The nuclear membrane in prokaryotes is
ss s s ss ss ss



a. missing.
b. impenetrable.

d. analyzing bacteria that cause disease. ss ss ss ss




ANS: B ss



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



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