1.1 MULTIPLE-CHOICE QUESTIONS
1) Microorganisms Are Involved In Each Of The Following Processes EXCEPT
A) Infection.
B) Decomposition Of Organic Material.
C) O2 Production.
D) Food Production.
E) Smog Production.
ANSWER: E
Feedback: Microorganisms Are Key Players In Infection (Causing Disease),
Decomposition (Breaking Down Organic Waste), O₂ Production (E.G., By
Cyanobacteria), And Food Production (E.G., In Yogurt, Cheese). However, Smog Is
Primarily A Result Of Chemical Pollutants And Reactions Involving Hydrocarbons And
Nitrogen Oxides, Not Microbial Activity.
Section: 1.1
Bloom's Taxonomy: Remembering
Learning Outcome: 1.1
Global Outcome: 5
2) Each Of The Following Organisms Would Be Considered A Microbe EXCEPT
A) Yeast.
B) Protozoan.
C) Bacterium.
,D) Mushroom.
E) Virus.
ANSWER: D
Feedback: Yeasts, Protozoa, Bacteria, And Viruses Are All Microscopic And Therefore
Considered Microbes. Mushrooms, Although Fungi, Are Multicellular And Macroscopic,
So They Are Not Classified As Microbes.
Section: 1.1
Bloom's Taxonomy: Remembering
Learning Outcome: 1.4
3) The Term Used To Describe A Disease-Causing Microorganism Is
A) Microbe.
B) Bacterium.
C) Virus.
D) Pathogen.
E) Infection.
ANSWER: D
Feedback: A Pathogen Is Specifically A Microorganism That Causes Disease. While
Bacteria And Viruses Can Be Pathogens, Not All Are. "Microbe" Is A General Term For
Microscopic Organisms, And "Infection" Is The Result, Not The Organism.

Learning Outcome: 1.1
4) Common Commercial Benefits Of Microorganisms Include Synthesis Of
A) Riboflavin.
B) Acetone.
, C) Insulin.
D) Aspirin.
E) Riboflavin, Acetone And Insulin.
ANSWER: E
Feedback: Microorganisms Are Used Industrially To Produce Riboflavin (Vitamin B₂),
Acetone (A Solvent), And Insulin (Via Recombinant DNA Technology). Aspirin,
However, Is Chemically Synthesized And Not Produced By Microbes.

5) What Factors Contribute To The Rising Incidence Of Antibiotic Resistance?
A) Overuse Of The Specific Drugs
B) Misuse Of The Specific Drugs
C) Random Mutations In Bacterial Genomes
D) Random Mutations, Overuse And Misuse Of Specific Drugs
E) Overuse And Misuse Of Specific Drugs
ANSWER: D
Feedback: Antibiotic Resistance Arises Due To Natural Mutations, But Is Greatly
Accelerated By Human Practices Such As The Overuse And Misuse Of Antibiotics. This
Combination Increases The Survival Of Resistant Strains, Making Infections Harder To
Treat.
