b) have only been found in Shark Bay, Australia.
c) have been found in rock formations older than 3 billion years.
d) are only produced by eukaryotes.
e) always contain fossil remains of both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
7. Which of the following is not a property of the DNA of bacteria:
a) it is bound inside a double-membrane organelle.
b) it is duplicated at the time of cell division.
c) it is present in the cell as a single long strand or loop.
d) it is much shorter than the DNA molecules found in eukaryotes.
e) it is the same type as much of the DNA found in chloroplasts and mitochondria
8. Which of the following is not a property of the DNA of bacteria:
a) it is bound inside a double-membrane organelle.
b) it is duplicated at the time of cell division.
c) it is present in the cell as a single long strand or loop.
d) it is much shorter than the DNA molecules found in eukaryotes.
e) it is the same type as much of the DNA found in chloroplasts and mitochondria
9. The nucleus:
a) probably evolved in the first living cell.
b) probably evolved in a cell with rigid cell walls.
c) probably evolved to protect a cell from its own digestive enzymes.
d) probably evolved as a response to oxygen in the environment.
e) None of the above.
10. Which of the following statements about the systemic effect of bacterial cells are
true?
a. Gram-negative bacteria are more likely to cause systemic effects because their lack
of an outer membrane means they can more quickly infect host cells.
b. Gram-positive bacteria are more likely to cause systemic effects because the
lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in their membranes can act as a toxin to the circulatory
system.
c. Gram-positive bacteria are more likely to cause system effects because the
peptidoglycan in their cell walls is tough and hard for medicine to penetrate
d. Gram-negative bacteria are more likely to cause systemic effect because their outer
membrane protects them from several antibiotics, making treatment more difficult.
a. 70 S
b 80 S
c 60S + 40S
d 50S + 40S
12. Which of the following cell wall components is unique to gram-negative cells?
