Chapter 1 Introduction to Microbes and Their Building Blocks (McGraw Hill)-Homework
1. Which of the following choices is a correct way to denote the binomial name of a
microorganism?
Multiple Choice

eH w
Staphylococcus Aureus (correct answer)
o.

Explanation
The binomial, or scientific name, of a microorganism must be typed in italics or underlined if
o
handwritten. In addition, the first letter of the generic part of the name must be capitalized while the first
aC s
letter of the species name is lowercase.

2.Which of the following is a macromolecule that assembles into bilayers?
Multiple Choice

Phospholipid (correct answer)
Nucleic acid
Carbohydrate

Protein
3. Please watch the video below, and then use what you have learned from the chapter to answer the
Th
questions, demonstrating your understanding of biofilms.
1.) What is a biofilm?
sh
Free-floating bacteria that move through the blood to other sites
A group of bacteria that accumulate in layers and secrete protective extracellular
material
A layer of sugars that persist even after bacteria have been killed by antibiotics
A bacterial cell that secretes an extensive network of fibers around its cell wall Incorrect

2. ) Which of the following is an example of a biofilm commonly found in the human body?
Dental plaque Correct
Salivary secretions
Ear wax
Yellow or green discharge
3.) Why are biofilms important in infectious disease?
Bacteria in biofilms are often protected from antibiotics.
Most microbes cannot cause disease without other microbes present.
The secreted extracellular "gunk" is highly damaging to tissues.
Explanation
m
Question 1: Bacteria attach to a surface and excrete a sticky extracellular substance. Other species can be
er as
recruited to the biofilm, and the result is layers of multiple species of bacterial surrounded by a protective
co
coating.
eH w
Question 2: Dental plaque is a biofilm on the surface of your teeth!
o.
rs e
Question 3: Antibiotics are often blocked by the protective coating found in biofilms. Also, bacteria
ou urc
may express different genes when they are part of a biofilm and become less susceptible to antimicrobial
drugs.

Explanation
Th
DNA and RNA are nucleic acids involved in genetics. Enzymes are proteins that speed up chemical
reactions. Phospholipids make up the bulk of the cell membrane, and several different types of
carbohydrates make up the cell wall in organisms that possess one.

5. Microbes are found in which habitat(s)?
All of choices are correct (Ocean, Earth’s crust, and Human Body)
