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

2. Who was considered the father of protozoology and bacteriology?
g g g g g g g g
a. Anton van Leeuwenhoek g g
b. Louis Pasteur g
c. Carl Landsteiner g
d. Michael Douglas g
ANS: A g
The book discusses Anton van Leeuwenhoek as the inventor of the microscope and the first
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
person to see the “beasties.” So they dubbed him the father of protozoology and bacteriology.
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
The other three individuals were not discussed.

3. Prokaryotic cells have which of the following structures in their cytoplasm?
g g g g g g g g g g
a. Golgi apparatus g
b. Ribosomes
c. Mitochondria
d. Endoplasmic reticulum g
ANS: B g
All the structures listed are found in eukaryotic cells, but ribosomes are the only ones that
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
apply to prokaryotic cells.
g g g g
OBJ: Level 1: Recall g g g
4. This form of DNA is commonly found in eukaryotic cells.
g g g g g g g g g
a. Linear
b. Circular
c. Plasmid
d. Colloid

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

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

6. A microorganism that is a unicellular organism and lacks a nuclear membrane and true
g g g g g g g g g g g g g
nucleus belongs to which classification?
g g g g g
a. Fungi
b. Bacteria
c. Algae
d. Parasite
ANS: B g
Fungi, algae, and parasites are unicellular eukaryotic organisms that contain a true nucleus.
g g g g g g g g g g g g
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
g g g g g g g g g g g g
a. isolating microorganisms. g
b. selecting treatment for patients. g g g
c. identifying microorganisms. g
d. analyzing bacteria that cause disease. g g g g
ANS: B g
Clinical microbiologists do not select the treatment for patients. They provide the doctor with
g g g g g g g g g g g g g
the name of the organism and the antibiotics that can kill the bacteria, but not in the final
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
selection of treatment protocols.

8. What enables the microbiologist to select the correct media for primary culture and optimize
g g g g g g g g g g g g g
g the chance of isolating a pathogenic organism?
