Chapter 1 The Evolution of Microorganisms and Microbiology
1) Archaea are cellular organisms that have unique cell membrane .
Answer: lipids
Topic: Archaea
Bloom's/Accessibility: 1. Remember / Keyboard Navigation ASM
Topic: Module 02 Cell Structure and Function
ASM Objective: 02.03 Bacteria and Archaea have specialized structures (e.g. Flagella, endospores, and
pili) that often confer critical capabilities.
Learning Outcome: 01.01c Determine the type of microbe (e.g., bacterium, fungus, etc.) When given a
description of a newly discovered one
2) Extant microorganisms are organisms from the fossil record that are no longer present on Earth today.
Answer: FALSE

Evolution
ASM Objective: 01.05 The evolutionary relatedness of organisms is best reflected in phylogenetic trees.
Learning Outcome: 01.02a Propose a timeline of the origin and history of microbial life and integrate
supporting evidence into it
