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

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

3. Prokaryotic cells have which of the following structures in their cytoplasm?
L L L L L L L L L L
a. Golgi apparatus L
b. Ribosomes
c. Mitochondria
d. Endoplasmic reticulum L
ANS: B L
All the structures listed are found in eukaryotic cells, but ribosomes are the only ones that
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L
apply to prokaryotic cells.
L L L L
OBJ: Level 1: RecallL L L
4. This form of DNA is commonly found in eukaryotic cells.
L L L L L L L L L
a. Linear
b. Circular
c. Plasmid
d. Colloid
TestBanks/ Solution Manuals and Exams L L L L
, ANS: A L
Circular and plasmid DNA are usually found only in bacteria, not eukaryotic cells. Colloid is a
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L
property of protein molecules and is not associated with nucleotides.

OBJ: Level 1: Recall
L L L
5. The nuclear membrane in prokaryotes is
L L L L L
a. missing.
b. impenetrable.
c. a classic membrane.
L L
d. a lipid bilayer membrane.
L L L
ANS: A L
Prokaryotic cells do not have any membrane-bound structures in the cytoplasm including a
L L L L L L L L L L L L
structured nucleus.
L L
OBJ: Level 1: Recall
L L L
6. A microorganism that is a unicellular organism and lacks a nuclear membrane and true
L L L L L L L L L L L L L
L nucleus belongs to which classification?
L L L L
a. Fungi
b. Bacteria
c. Algae
d. Parasite
ANS: B L
Fungi, algae, and parasites are unicellular eukaryotic organisms that contain a true nucleus.
L L L L L L L L L L L L
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
L L L L L L L L L L L L
a. isolating microorganisms. L
b. selecting treatment for patients. L L L
c. identifying microorganisms. L
d. analyzing bacteria that cause disease. L L L L
ANS: B L
Clinical microbiologists do not select the treatment for patients. They provide the doctor with
L L L L L L L L L L L L L
the name of the organism and the antibiotics that can kill the bacteria, but not in the final
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L
selection of treatment protocols.

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

b. Understanding the cell structure and biochemical pathways of an organism L L L L L L L L L
c. Understanding the growth requirements of potential pathogens at specific body site L L L L L L L L L L
