Chapter 1. Microbial Life Origin & Discovery
1. Viruses are
a. infectious agents that infect exclusively multicellular organisms.
b. noncellular particles that take over the metabolism of a cell to generate
more virus particles.
c. pathogens that replicate in complex growth media.
d. cellular particles that belong to the archaea domain.
e. microbes that consist of lipid membrane–enclosed genomes.
2. What is the MOST recent evidence suggesting that all life on Earth shares a
common ancestry?
3. A is the total genetic information contained in an organism’s
chromosomal DNA.
a. nucleotide
b. genome
c. nuclear envelope
d. non-cellular particle
e. base pair
4. How are prokaryotes and eukaryotes different?
5. How do microbes help in the extraction of minerals?
6. Which of these groups are considered to be microbes, but NOT considered to be
cells?
a. viruses

7. All of the following are eukaryotic microbes EXCEPT
a. fungi.
b. algae.
c. protozoa.
d. Stentor.
e. viruses.
8. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek worked as a cloth draper, inspecting the quality of
cloth. How did this lead to his interest in microscopy?
9. What was the major complaint about Lazzaro Spallanzani’s experiment to
disprove spontaneous generation, and how did Louis Pasteur’s swan-neck flasks
overcome this?
10. Which one of the following statements regarding microbial cells is FALSE?
a. Microbial cells acquire food, gain energy to build themselves, and respond
to environmental change.
b. Most single-celled organisms require a microscope to render them visible,
but some bacterial cells are large enough to be seen with the naked eye.
c. Microbes evolve at slow rates.
d. Many microbes form complex multicellular assemblages.
e. Viruses are not considered microbial cells.
11. Which of the following statements is FALSE?
a. A genome is the total genetic information contained in an organism’s
chromosomal DNA.
b. If a microbe’s genome includes genes for nitrogenase, that microbe
probably can fix nitrogen.
c. By comparing DNA sequences of different organisms, we can figure out
