MULTIPLE CHOICE t
1. To survive, microbial inhabitants havelearned to adapt byvarying all of the following, except
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
a. growth rate. t
b. growth in all atmospheric conditions. t t t t
c. growth at particular temperatures. t t t
d. bacterial shape. t
ANSWER: D t
Thechapter begins by discussing the waymicrobial inhabitants havehad to evolve to survivein
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
many different niches and habitats. It discusses slow growers, rapid growers, and replication with
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
scarce or abundant nutrients, under different atmospheric conditions, temperature requirements,
t t t t t t t t t t
and cell structure. Bacterial shape as a form of evolution is not discussed.

3. Prokaryotic cells have which ofthe following structures in their cytoplasm? t t t t t t t t t t
a. Golgi apparatus t
b. Ribosomes
c. Mitochondria

t t t t t
a. Fungi
b. Bacteria
c. Algae
d. Parasite
ANSWER: B t
Fungi, algae, and parasites are unicellular eukaryotic organisms that contain a true

7. In the laboratory, the clinical microbiologist is responsible for all the following, except
t t t t t t t t t t t t
a. isolatingmicroorganisms. t
b. selectingtreatment for patients. t t t
c. identifyingmicroorganisms. t
d. analyzingbacteria that causedisease. t t t t
ANSWER: B t
Clinical microbiologists do not select thetreatment forpatients. Theyprovide the doctor withthe
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
name of the organism and the antibiotics that can kill the bacteria, but not in the final selection of
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
treatment protocols.
