MULTIPLE CHOICE t
1. To survive, microbial inhabitants have learned to adapt by varying 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 atmospheric2conditions. t t t
c. growth at particular temperatures. t t t
d. bacterial shape. t
ANS: D t
The chapter begins by discussing the way microbial inhabitants have had to evolve to survivein
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 wi th
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
scarce or abundant nutrients, under different atmospheric conditions, temperature requireme nts,
t t t t t t t t t t t
and cell structure. Bacterial shape as a form of evolution is not discussed.

2. Who was considered the father of protozoology and bacteriology?
t t t t t t t t
a. Anton van Leeuwenhoek t t
b. Louis Pasteur t
c. Carl Landsteiner t
d. Michael Douglas t
ANS: A t
The book discusses Anton van Leeuwenhoek as the inventor of the microscope and the first perso n to
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
see the ―beasties.‖ So they dubbed him the father of protozoology and bacteriology.The ot her

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

4. This form of DNA2is2commonly found in eukaryotic cells.
t t t t t t t
a. Linear
b. Circular
c. Plasmid
d. Colloid
.
.
, ANS: A t
Circular and plasmid DNA are usually found only in bacteria, not2eukaryotic cells. Colloid isa pr
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
operty of protein molecules and is not2associated with nucleotides.

5. The nuclear membrane in prokaryotes is
t t t t t
a. missing.
b. impenetrable.
c. a classic membrane. t t
d. a lipid bilayer membrane.
t t t
ANS: A t
Prokaryotic cells do not have any membrane- t t t t t t
bound structures in the cytoplasm including astructured nucleus.

OBJ: Level 1: Recall t t t
6. A microorganism that is a unicellular organism and lacks a nuclear membrane and truenu
t t t t t t t t t t t t t
cleus belongs to which classification?
t t t t t
a. Fungi
b. Bacteria
c. Algae
d. Parasite
ANS: B t
Fungi, algae, and parasites are unicellular eukaryotic organisms that contain a true nucleus.B acteria
t t t t t t t t t t t t t
are prokaryotic and do not contain a true nucleus or nuclear membrane.

7. In t the laboratory,2the clinical microbiologist is responsible for all the following, except
t t t t t t t t t t
a. isolating microorganisms. t
b. selecting treatment for patients. t t t
c. identifying microorganisms. t
d. analyzing bacteria that cause disease. t t t t
ANS: B t
Clinical microbiologists do not select the treatment for patients. They provide the doctor withthe
t t t t t t t t t t t t t
tname 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
treatment protocols.

8. What enables2the microbiologist to select the correct media for primary culture and optimizeth e
t t t t t t t t t t t t t
chance of isolating a pathogenic organism?
