True or False: A virus is considered a microorganism.
False. Viruses are not living and as such are not considered microorganisms.
Viruses can, however, be classified as microbes, a more general term that
includes microorganisms and viruses.
1. What is the smallest biological unit of
life? A cell.
2. At a generalized level, all cells are comprised of
what? Macromolecules*
*A student may also answer: Proteins, Lipids, Nucleic acids and Polysaccharides
but they must answer with all four to be fully correct.
1. Which of the following microorganisms are considered to be Eukarya? Select
all that apply.
A. Animalia
B. Plantae
C. Fungi
D. Protista
A,B,C,D
2. True of False: All multicellular microorganisms classified as Animalia are

heterotrophic.
True
3. Microorganisms classified as Plantae obtain most of their energy by converting
energy into energy.
Light (sunlight); chemical (sugars)
1. Define catabolism.
Catabolism is the process of breaking down larger molecules into useful energy
sources.
2. Upon cellular injury, which metabolic process is involved during the
growth and repair phases of the cell? The anabolic process would be active as
it (by definition) is involved in the building up of small complexes into larger
complexes.
1. In phosphorylation, the light reactions always occur
where? The process of converting light energy into chemical
energy (photophosphorylation) always occurs in the
membrane.
2. True or False: The Calvin cycle must occur in the absence of light.
False. The term ‘dark reactions’ (also known as the Calvin Cycle) simply denotes
the second stage in photosynthesis—dark reactions do not actually require

darkness in order to occur.
1. Assuming a constant (non-adjustable) light source power, identify the part
of the microscope you would adjust to limit the amount of light entering the
microscope.
Select all that apply.
A. Objective
B. Condenser
C. Iris diaphragm
D. Eye piece
C. The iris controls the amount of light that passes through the sample and into
the objective lens. Thus, it can be adjusted (opened or closed) to alter the
amount of light.
2. What is the total magnification (relative to your eye) of a sample imaged
with a 60x objective and a 10x eyepiece? Show your math.
60 x 10 = 600x magnification
