Chapter 1: The Microbial World And You
Gerard J. Tortora: Microbiology: An Introduction, 14th edition, (2023) Test Bank
MULTIPLE-CHOICE QUESTIONS
1) Which Of The Following Pairs Is Mismatched?
A) Pasteur – Proof Of Biogenesis
B) Ehrlich – Chemotherapy
C) Jenner – Vaccination
D) Koch – Aseptic Surgery
ANSWER: D
Robert Koch Is Best Known For Establishing Koch’s Postulates, Which Link Specific
Microbes To Specific Diseases. Aseptic Surgery, On The Other Hand, Was Pioneered By
Joseph Lister, Not Koch. Hence, The Pair "Koch – Aseptic Surgery" Is Mismatched.
2) Which Of The Following Is A Scientific Name?
A) Streptococcus Pyogenes
B) Flesh-Eating Bacteria
C) IGAS
D) Streptococci
E) Group A Streptococcus
,ANSWER: A
A Scientific Name Follows Binomial Nomenclature, Which Includes The Genus And
Species Names In Latin, Italicized Or Underlined. Streptococcus Pyogenes Fits This
Format. The Other Choices Are Common Names Or Acronyms, Not Formal Scientific
Names.
3) Which Of The Following Is Not A Domain In The Three-Domain System?
A) Animalia
B) Eukarya
C) Archaea
D) Bacteria
ANSWER: A
The Three Domains Are Bacteria, Archaea, And Eukarya. Animalia Is A Kingdom
Within The Domain Eukarya, Not A Domain Itself. Hence, It's Not Part Of The Three-
Domain Classification System.
4) Which Of The Following Statements About Fungi Is True?
A) All Are Prokaryotic.
B) All Are Multicellular.
C) All Are Plants.
D) All Grow Using Sunlight And Carbon Dioxide.
E) All Require Organic Material For Growth.
, ANSWER: E
Fungi Are Eukaryotic Heterotrophs, Meaning They Must Obtain Nutrients By Absorbing
Organic Material. Some Are Unicellular (Like Yeast), And They Are Not Plants. They
Do Not Perform Photosynthesis And Are Not Prokaryotic.
5) Which Of The Following Statements About Protozoa Is False?
A) All Are Eukaryotic.
B) All Have Complex Cells.
C) They Are Classified By Their Method Of Locomotion.
D) All Are Unicellular.
E) They Have Rigid Cell Walls.
ANSWER: E
Protozoa Lack Rigid Cell Walls—Unlike Plants Or Fungi—Making Them Flexible And
Motile. The Other Statements Correctly Describe Protozoa: They Are Unicellular,
Eukaryotic, And Often Categorized Based On How They Move (E.G., Cilia, Flagella).
6) Which Of The Following Statements About Viruses Is False?
A) They Have Both DNA And Rna.
B) They Lack Cells.
C) They Are Parasites.
D) They Cannot Metabolize Nutrients.
