MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. To survive, microbial inhabitants have learned to adapt by varying all of the following, except
a. growth rate.
b. growth in all atmospheric conditions.
c. growth at particular temperatures.
d. bacterial shape.
ANSWER: D
The chapter begins by discussing the way microbial inhabitants have had to evolve to survive
in many different niches and habitats. It discusses slow growers, rapid growers, and
replication with scarce or abundant nutrients, under different atmospheric conditions,
temperature requirements, and cell structure. Bacterial shape as a form of evolution is not
discussed.
OBJ: Level 2: Interpretation
2. Who was considered the father of protozoology and bacteriology?
a. Anton van Leeuwenhoek
b. Louis Pasteur
c. Carl Landsteiner
d. Michael Douglas
ANSWER: A
The book discusses Anton van Leeuwenhoek as the inventor of the microscope and the first
person to see the “beasties.” So they dubbed him the father of protozoology and bacteriology.
The other three individuals were not discussed.
OBJ: Level 1: Recall
3. Prokaryotic cells have which of the following structures in their cytoplasm?
a. Golgi apparatus
b. Ribosomes
c. Mitochondria
d. Endoplasmic reticulum
ANSWER: B
All the structures listed are found in eukaryotic cells, but ribosomes are the only ones that
apply to prokaryotic cells.
OBJ: Level 1: Recall
4. This form of DNA is commonly found in eukaryotic cells.
a. Linear
b. Circular
c. Plasmid
d. Colloid
, ANSWER: A
Circular sand splasmid sDNA sare susually sfound sonly sin sbacteria, snot seukaryotic scells.
sColloid sissa sproperty sof sprotein smolecules sand sis snot sassociated swith snucleotides.
OBJ: s Level s1: sRecall
5. The snuclear smembrane sin sprokaryotes sis
a. missing.
b. impenetrable.
c. a sclassic smembrane.
d. a slipid sbilayer smembrane.
ANSWER: s A
Prokaryotic scells sdo snot shave sany smembrane-bound sstructures sin sthe scytoplasm
sincluding sasstructured snucleus.
