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

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