Textbook Question
Chapter 28, Problem 10R
NAME IT Van Leeuwenhoek was the first to see this budding microbe, with a nucleus and cell wall; although humans have used it since before the beginning of recorded history, Louis Pasteur was the first to figure out what it does.

Choose the false statement: (Regarding Pasteur’s famous experiment) The swan necked flasks were important because they allowed the broth to remain sterile, while still remaining open to the atmosphere. Pasteur’s work with the swan neck flasks was only of importance to the food industry; his work occurred long before anyone, including Pasteur, had any awareness that diseases could be caused by microscopic agents. The swan necked flasks were used to prove that life could only arise from pre-existing cells.
Suppose that one of Pasteur's swan neck flasks had broken, such that the neck came off. What would be the likely result?
Maggots would have appeared on the meat
The broth would have remained sterile
Bacteria would not have been isolated in pure culture
The animalcules would have escaped
The liquid would have become contaminated
You have a mixture of bacteria, archaea, fungi, protists, and algae. Which of the following would be most definitive in determining which of these cells are archaea?
Size in a bright field microscope
Structure in a scanning electron microscope
Fluorescence in situ hybridization
Super resolution microscopy
Simple staining
Which of these word parts means “higher”, or “elevated” or “advanced”?
Proto-
An-
Eu-

Mycoplasma
Amoeba
Rickettsia
Which of these types of microbes has the most complex cell?
Bacteria
Viruses
Protozoa

All 5 isolates appear to have the same colony morphology on the plates, and all appear to be Gram-negative rods 1 micron wide and 3 microns long under the microscope. In addition, all 5 isolates appear to perform the same on an API 20E test strip that tests bacteria for 20 biochemical abilities. No other testing has been done yet.
