CHAPTER ONE
1) All cellular organisms can be placed into one of three blank, which includes
theBacteria, Archaea, and theEukarya.
2) Archaea are cellular organisms that have unique cell membrane blank.
3) Elie Metchnikoff discovered blank, which is a major feature of the host
immune response.
4) An Italian physician, blank, challenged the concept of spontaneous generation
by demonstrating that maggots do not arise from decaying meat but rather from developing fly
eggs.
5) blank discovered that soil bacteria could oxidize iron, sulfur, and ammonia to
obtain energy.
6) blank was the first to isolate a root nodule bacterium capable of nitrogen
fixation.
7) The branch of microbiology that deals with diseases of humans and animals is
called blank microbiology.
,8) The branch of microbiology that deals with the mechanisms by which the human body
protects itself from disease-causing organisms is called blank.
9) blank blank microbiologists monitor community food
establishments and water supplies in order to control the spread of communicable diseases.
10) The branch of microbiology that studies the relationship between microorganisms and
their habitats is called blank blank.
11) blank microbiology involves the use of microorganisms to make products
such as antibiotics, vaccines, steroids, alcohols, vitamins, amino acids, and enzymes.
12) Microbial blank are scientists who investigate the synthesis of antibiotics and
toxins, the production of energy with microorganisms, and the ways in which microorganisms
survive harsh environmental conditions.
13) Microbial blank focuses on the nature of heredity and how it regulates the
development and function of cells and organisms.
14) A microbial blank is a collection of strains that share many stable properties
and differ significantly from other groups of strains.
, 15) Protists contain all of the following forms of life EXCEPT blank.
A) protozoa
B) fungi
C) slime molds
D) algae
16) Cells with a relatively complex morphology that have a true membrane-delimited nucleus
are called blank.
A) prokaryotes
B) eukaryotes
C) urkaryotes
D) nokaryotes
17) Cells with a relatively simple cell morphology that do not have a true membrane-
delimited nucleus are called blank.
A) prokaryotes
B) eukaryotes
C) urkaryotes
D) nokaryotes
18) The ribosomal RNA studies that led to the division of prokaryotic organisms into the
Bacteria and the Archaea were begun by blank.
