MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. To survive, microbial inhabitants have learned to adapt by varying all of the following,
except
a. growth rate.
b. growth in all atmospheric conditions.
c. growth at particular temperatures.
d. bacterial shape.
ANS >> D
The chapter begins by discussing the way microbial inhabitants have had to
evolve to survivein many different niches and habitats. It discusses slow
growers, rapid growers, and replication with scarce or abundant nutrients,
under different atmospheric conditions, temperature requirements, and cell
structure. Bacterial shape as a form of evolution is not discussed.
OBJ: Level 2: Interpretation
2. Who was considered the father of protozoology and bacteriology?
a. Anton van Leeuwenhoek
b. Louis Pasteur
c. Carl Landsteiner
d. Michael Douglas
ANS >> A
The book discusses Anton van Leeuwenhoek as the inventor of the microscope
and the first person to see the “beasties.” So they dubbed him the father of
protozoology and bacteriology.The other three individuals were not discussed.
OBJ: Level 1: Recall
3. Prokaryotic cells have which of the following structures in their cytoplasm?
a. Golgi apparatus
b. Ribosomes
c. Mitochondria
d. Endoplasmic reticulum
ANS >> B
All the structures listed are found in eukaryotic cells, but ribosomes are the
only ones thatapply to prokaryotic cells.

OBJ: Level 1: Recall
4. This form of DNA is commonly found in eukaryotic cells.
a. Linear
b. Circular
c. Plasmid
d. Colloid
ANS >> A
Circular and plasmid DNA are usually found only in bacteria, not eukaryotic
cells. Colloid isa property of protein molecules and is not associated with
nucleotides.
OBJ: Level 1: Recall
5. The nuclear membrane in prokaryotes is
a. missing.
b. impenetrable.
c. a classic membrane.
d. a lipid bilayer membrane.
ANS >> A
Prokaryotic cells do not have any membrane-bound structures in the
cytoplasm including astructured nucleus.
OBJ: Level 1: Recall
6. A microorganism that is a unicellular organism and lacks a nuclear
membrane and truenucleus belongs to which classification?
a. Fungi
b. Bacteria
c. Algae
d. Parasite
ANS >> B
Fungi, algae, and parasites are unicellular eukaryotic organisms that contain
a true nucleus.Bacteria are prokaryotic and do not contain a true nucleus or
nuclear membrane.
OBJ: Level 1: Recall
7. In the laboratory, the clinical microbiologist is responsible for all the following, except
a. isolating microorganisms.
b. selecting treatment for patients.
c. identifying microorganisms.
d. analyzing bacteria that cause disease.
