Questions Bacterial Cell Structures An Introduction To The Bacterial Cell

The document is a series of multiple choice questions about bacterial cell structures and their functions. It tests knowledge about how different cellular components, such as the cell wall, plasma membrane, ribosomes, nucleoid, and plasmids, help bacteria survive in extreme environmental conditions like Antarctica. The questions cover topics like what microscope settings are best for viewing bacteria, the different shapes bacteria can take, and how cellular structures like the cell wall, ribosomes, and plasmids allow bacteria to withstand osmotic pressure and encode genes that facilitate survival in harsh conditions.

Bacterial Cell Structures: An introduction to the

bacterial cell
Question 1: Which setting is best to view the moving bacteria and the bacterial shapes?
✓ Darkfield mode
– You can't visualize bacteria in a microscope
– There is no difference between the two settings
– Brightfield mode

Question 2: Rock on! You are becoming a skilled microbiologist! The bacteria in our sample had
different movement patterns. Why do bacteria move?
✓ All of the options
– To seek other bacteria to create colonies or biofilms giving additional advantages
– To stay away from harmfull environments
– To move towards attractive environments

Question 3: Which shape is the bacteria you caught?


✓ Vibrio
– Diplococci
– Bacillus
– Spirochete

Question 4: Which shape is the bacteria you caught?


✓ Bacillus
– Diplococci
– Vibrio
– Spirochete

Question 5: Which shape is the bacteria you caught?


✓ Diplococci
– Vibrio
– Spirochete
– Bacillus

Question 6: Which shape is the bacteria you caught?


✓ Spirochete
– Vibrio
– Diplococci
– Bacillus

Question 7: Before we start, we should make sure we are on the same page.
Which of the following is neither a eukaryotic nor a prokaryotic cell?
✓ Virus
– Archaea
– Plant
– Fungi

Question 8: What is the main function of the cell wall?


✓ To provide structure and protect the bacteria from osmotic pressure
– To serve as a barrier to avoid phagocytosis by white blood cells
– To produce energy
– To facilitate active transport of nutrients into the bacterial cell

Question 9: Both eukaryotes and bacteria contain plasma membranes.

Which of the following statements explains the function of the plasma membrane?
✓ It controls which substances enter and exit the cell
– It allows molecules to freely enter and exit the cell
– It prevents substances from entering cell
– It prevents molecules from leaving the cell

Question 10: The cell wall protecs the bacteria. How does it protect the Vibrio in Antarctica?
✓ To withstand the osmotic pressure from the aquatic environment
– Facilitate direct translation of proteins
– Provides an anchor for organelles to be bound
– Ensures energy is conserved for later use

Question 11: How does the ribosome ensure that the vibrio can survive in the extreme environment.
✓ The cell would not exist without as the ribosomes translate the genetic code into protein
– The ribosomes acquire additional functionalities to survive the extreme conditions
– The ribosomes work less efficient under extreme conditions
– The ribosomes adapt to function in extreme environment

Question 12: How is the nucloid involved in vibrio surviving the harsh environment?
✓ The nucleoid encodes essential genes and for some bacteria these are genes essential for
surviving extreme cold
– The nucleoid translates proteins essential for survival
– The nucleoid is not essential for survival
– The nucleoid is the same in all bacteria and they can all survive extreme conditions

Question 13: What is the plasmids role in survival in extreme conditions?


✓ They can encode for proteins that provide additional benefits for the bacteria to survive the
local environment
– They hold the main genetic content of the bacteria
– They are junk DNA and does usually not serve a purpose
– They carry genes coding for ribosomes which are essential for organisms

Question 14: How does the inclusion bodies assist the bacteria in survival?
✓ They hold nutrients necessary for the bacteria to survive
– They contain DNA for necessary for the bacteria to survive
– They contain plasmids necessary for the bacteria to survive
– They contain ribosomes necessary for the bacteria to survive
