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

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
