MULTIPLE CHOICE q
1. To survive, microbial inhabitants have learned to adapt by varying all of the following, except
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q
a. growth rate. q
b. growth in all atmospheric conditions. q q q q
c. growth at particular temperatures. q q q
d. bacterial shape. q
ANS: D q
The chapter begins by discussing the way microbial inhabitants have had to evolve to survive
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q
in many different niches and habitats. It discusses slow growers, rapid growers, and
q q q q q q q q q q q q q
replication with scarce or abundant nutrients, under different atmospheric conditions,
q q q q q q q q q q
temperature requirements, and cell structure. Bacterial shape as a form of evolution is not
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q
discussed.

2. Who was considered the father of protozoology and bacteriology?
q q q q q q q q
a. Anton van Leeuwenhoek q q
b. Louis Pasteur q
c. Carl Landsteiner q
d. Michael Douglas q
ANS: A q
The book discusses Anton van Leeuwenhoek as the inventor of the microscope and the first
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q
person to see the “beasties.” So they dubbed him the father of protozoology and bacteriology.

3. Prokaryotic cells have which of the following structures in their cytoplasm?
q q q q q q q q q q
a. Golgi apparatus q
b. Ribosomes
c. Mitochondria
d. Endoplasmic reticulum q
ANS: B q
All the structures listed are found in eukaryotic cells, but ribosomes are the only ones that
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q
apply to prokaryotic cells.

, ANS: A q
Circular and plasmid DNA are usually found only in bacteria, not eukaryotic cells. Colloid is
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q
a property of protein molecules and is not associated with nucleotides.

5. The nuclear membrane in prokaryotes is
q q q q q
a. missing.
b. impenetrable.
c. a classic membrane.
q q
d. a lipid bilayer membrane.

ANS: A q
Prokaryotic cells do not have any membrane-bound structures in the cytoplasm including a
q q q q q q q q q q q q
structured nucleus.

6. A microorganism that is a unicellular organism and lacks a nuclear membrane and true
q q q q q q q q q q q q q
nucleus belongs to which classification?
q q q q q
a. Fungi
b. Bacteria
c. Algae
d. Parasite
ANS: B q
Fungi, algae, and parasites are unicellular eukaryotic organisms that contain a true nucleus.
q q q q q q q q q q q q
Bacteria are prokaryotic and do not contain a true nucleus or nuclear membrane.

7. In the laboratory, the clinical microbiologist is responsible for all the following, except
q q q q q q q q q q q q
a. isolating microorganisms. q
b. selecting treatment for patients. q q q
c. identifying microorganisms. q
d. analyzing bacteria that cause disease. q q q q
ANS: B q
Clinical microbiologists do not select the treatment for patients. They provide the doctor with
q q q q q q q q q q q q q
the name of the organism and the antibiotics that can kill the bacteria, but not in the final
q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q
selection of treatment protocols.
