Chapter 1 - Introduction to Microbiology---------> QUIZ 1
PRACTICE TEST WITH QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
ANSWERS
-protis
-fungus
What are things commonly
-bacterium
studied in microbiology? -bacteriophage
-viruses
What is the most common rod-shaped
shape of bacteria?
Can every organism be attacked yes
by a virus?
Why don't viruses go with the because they aren't alive so they're not technically organisms
definition of microbiology?
Where are microbes found? everywhere
Are microbes found in the yes
outer edges of the
atmosphere?
Are microbes found in the yes
deep hot biosphere?
What is 60% of the biomass of the bacteria
earth?
What is a pathogen? a parasite that causes harm to its host
Is there more beneficial or there is more beneficial bacteria
harmful bacteria in the body?
What does the biomass include? anything that's alive
What is the average amount of 10 trillion
human cells that the body
contains?
How many bacteria does the human 100 trillion
body contain?
Where are most of the bacteria in in the lower large intestine
the body located?
, -medical mode of infection, transmission, etc
-required for production of many foods
-produce available nitrogen for plants
-responsible for freeze damage to plants
What are the reasons for studying
-necessary for ruminants to digest cellulose
microbiology? -perform essential tasks in our environment
-produce antibiotics, insulin, and other important compounds
-they're used for the clean up of oil spills/superfund sites
-they're easy to genetically manipulate to perform needed tasks
Do microbes cause disease? yes but not all of them do so we're looking at what they do cause and the
treatment
-yogurt
-asian (kimchi)
What foods are microbes -cheese
required to make? -bread
-sauerkraut
-mesosoup
Why do microbes produce because what we breath can't be used for plants directly
available nitrogen for microbes convert it to usable forms
plants?
Why are microbes responsible for they have protein that bind hydrogen and oxygen molecules and then ice
freeze damage to plants? forms
