MULTIPLE CHOICE we




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



a. growth rate. we



b. growth in all atmospheric conditions. we we we we



c. growth at particular temperatures. we we we



d. bacterial shape. we




ANSWER: D w e



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



survivein many different niches and habitats. It discusses slow growers, rapid growers,
we ew we we we we we we we we we we we



and replication with scarce or abundant nutrients, under different atmospheric conditions,
we we we we we we we we we we we



temperature requirements, and cell structure. Bacterial shape as a form of evolution is
we we we we we we we we we we we we we



not discussed.
we we




OBJ: Level 2: Interpretation
we we we




2. Who was considered the father of protozoology and bacteriology?
we we we we we we we we



a. Anton van Leeuwenhoek we we



b. Louis Pasteur we



c. Carl Landsteiner we



d. Michael Douglas we




ANSWER: A w e



The book discusses Anton van Leeuwenhoek as the inventor of the microscope and the
we we we we we we we we we we we we we



first person to see the “beasties.” So they dubbed him the father of protozoology and
we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we



bacteriology.The other three individuals were not discussed.
we ew we we we we we we




OBJ: Level 1: Recall we we we




3. Prokaryotic cells have which of the following structures in their cytoplasm?
we we we we we we we we we we



a. Golgi apparatus we



b. Ribosomes
c. Mitochondria
d. Endoplasmic reticulum we




ANSWER: B w e



All the structures listed are found in eukaryotic cells, but ribosomes are the only ones
we we we we we we we we we we we we we we



thatapply to prokaryotic cells.
we ew we we we




OBJ: Level 1: Recall we we we




4. This form of DNA is commonly found in eukaryotic cells.
we we we we we we we we we



a. Linear
b. Circular
c. Plasmid
d. Colloid



.
.

, ANSWER: A w e



Circular and plasmid DNA are usually found only in bacteria, not eukaryotic cells.
we we we we we we we we we we we we



Colloid isa property of protein molecules and is not associated with nucleotides.
we we ew we we we we we we we we we we




OBJ: Level 1: Recall we we we




5. The nuclear membrane in prokaryotes is
we we we we we



a. missing.
b. impenetrable.
c. a classic membrane.
we we



d. a lipid bilayer membrane.
we we we




ANSWER: A w e



Prokaryotic cells do not have any membrane-bound structures in the cytoplasm
we we we we we we we we we we



including astructured nucleus.
we we ew we




OBJ: Level 1: Recall we we we




6. A microorganism that is a unicellular organism and lacks a nuclear membrane and
we we we we we we we we we we we we



we truenucleus belongs to which classification?
ew we we we we



a. Fungi
b. Bacteria
c. Algae
d. Parasite
ANSWER: B w e



Fungi, algae, and parasites are unicellular eukaryotic organisms that contain a true
we we we we we we we we we we we



nucleus.Bacteria are prokaryotic and do not contain a true nucleus or nuclear
we ew we we we we we we we we we we we



membrane.
we




OBJ: Level 1: Recall we we we




7. In we the laboratory, the clinical microbiologist is responsible for all the following, except
we we we we we we we we we we we



a. isolating microorganisms. we



b. selecting treatment for patients. we we we



c. identifying microorganisms. we



d. analyzing bacteria that cause disease. we we we we




ANSWER: B w e



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



withthe name of the organism and the antibiotics that can kill the bacteria, but not in the
we ew we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we



final selection of treatment protocols.
we we we we we




OBJ: Level 2: Recall we we we




8. What enables the microbiologist to select the correct media for primary culture and
we we we we we we we we we we we we



optimizethe chance of isolating a pathogenic organism?
we ew we we we we we we



a. Determining staining characteristics we we



b. Understanding the cell structure and biochemical pathways of an organism we we we we we we we we we



c. Understanding the growth requirements of potential pathogens at specific body site we we we we we we we we we we



d. Knowing the differences in cell walls of particular bacteria we we we we we we we we
