GCSU MICROBIOLOGY
Ace your GCSU Bachoon Microbiology Test 1 with this targeted
guide, designed to master foundational concepts including
microbial structure, metabolism, and classification. This
resource provides high-yield practice questions and detailed
explanations covering essential lab techniques and pathogenic
mechanisms.
Microbiology ...... ANSWER ....... the study of living
things that individually are too small to be seen with the
naked eye
Who created the system of nomenclature? ...... ANSWER
....... Carolus Linnaeus (1735)
genus ...... ANSWER ....... the first name and is always
CAPITALIZED
specific epithet ...... ANSWER ....... follows the genus
and is not capitalized
, Page 2 of 37
Prokaryote ...... ANSWER ....... genetic material is not
enclosed in a special nuclear membrane.
Which microorganisms are prokaryotes? ...... ANSWER
....... - bacteria
- archaea
Eukaryote ...... ANSWER ....... organism's who's cells
have a distinct nucleus containing the cell's genetic
material (DNA), surrounded by a special envelope called
the nuclear membrane.
Which microorganisms are eukaryotes? ...... ANSWER
....... - fugi
- protozoa
- algae
Although animal parasites are not strictly microorganisms,
they are also eukaryotic
, Page 3 of 37
Bacteria (ex. cell type, cell wall, reproduction, and
nutrition?) ...... ANSWER ....... - unicellular
- cell walls contain peptidoglycan
- reproduce through binary fission (dividing into 2 equal
cells)
- Acquire nutrients through organic chemicals (dead or
living), or manufacture their own by photosynthesis, or can
derive nutrition from inorganic substances.
- move via flagella
Archaea ...... ANSWER ....... - unicellular
- cell walls lack peptidoglycan
- found in extreme environments (methanogens, extreme
halophiles, extreme thermophiles)
Fungi ...... ANSWER ....... - unicellular (yeasts) or
multicellular (mushrooms)
- chitin in their cell walls
- reproduce sexually or asexually
- obtain nourishment by absorbing solutions of organic
material from the environment
, Page 4 of 37
Protozoa ...... ANSWER ....... - unicellular
- move via pseudopods (aid in motility and phagocytosis),
flagella, cillia
- live either as free entities or as parasites (derive
nutrients from living hosts) or absorb or ingest organic
compounds from their environment.
- some are photosynthetic (Euglena)
- reproduce sexually or asexually
Algae ...... ANSWER ....... - unicellular
- cell walls composed of cellulose
- reproduce sexually or asexually
- photosynthesizers (they need light water and carbon
dioxide for food and growth but don't generally require
organic compound from the environment)
- produce oxygen and carbohydrates that are utilized by
other organisms (play important role in the balance of
nature)
Viruses ...... ANSWER ....... - acellular (not cellular)
- reproduce only by using cellular machinery of other
organisms
