  • What do archaebacteria and bacteria have in common?
    Both archaebacteria and bacteria lack a nucleus and have circular DNA.
  • Which domain(s) include(s) prokaryotic organisms?
    The domains Bacteria and Archaea include prokaryotic organisms.
  • Which organism is a prokaryote?
    E. coli is an example of a prokaryote.
  • What are the two prokaryotic domains?
    The two prokaryotic domains are Bacteria and Archaea.
  • Which of the following is not a characteristic of Bacillus anthracis?
    Bacillus anthracis is not a eukaryotic organism; it is a prokaryotic bacterium.
  • Which of the following statements regarding bacteria is true?
    Bacteria are prokaryotic and have circular DNA.
  • Which of the following diseases is caused by a spirochete?
    Lyme disease is caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi.
  • Class Betaproteobacteria includes all but which of the following genera?
    Class Betaproteobacteria does not include the genus Escherichia.
  • Which of the following is not a difference between the archaea and bacteria?
    Both archaea and bacteria lack a nucleus, which is not a difference.
  • Which domain(s) include(s) only prokaryotes?
    The domains Bacteria and Archaea include only prokaryotes.
  • In bacteria, what is the primary method of reproduction?
    Bacteria primarily reproduce through binary fission.
  • How do archaea differ from bacteria?
    Archaea differ from bacteria in their cell wall composition and unique rRNA sequences.
  • Prokaryotes are classified into which domain(s)?
    Prokaryotes are classified into the domains Bacteria and Archaea.
  • Listeria monocytogenes grows at which temperatures?
    Listeria monocytogenes can grow at refrigeration temperatures, around 4°C.
  • What are the domains that contain prokaryotic microorganisms?
    The domains Bacteria and Archaea contain prokaryotic microorganisms.
  • How are organisms in the domain Archaea different from those in the domain Eukarya?
    Organisms in the domain Archaea lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, unlike those in Eukarya.
  • Which is incorrect about Yersinia pestis?
    It is incorrect to say Yersinia pestis is a eukaryotic organism; it is a prokaryotic bacterium.
  • Which of the following is not a characteristic of members of the domain Archaea?
    Members of the domain Archaea do not have peptidoglycan in their cell walls.
  • Why do the instructions for the growth of Neisseria gonorrhoeae recommend a CO2-enriched atmosphere?
    Neisseria gonorrhoeae requires a CO2-enriched atmosphere for optimal growth.
  • Which of the following features can be used to distinguish bacteria from archaea?
    The presence of peptidoglycan in the cell wall distinguishes bacteria from archaea.
  • Which of the following is not a characteristic of a prokaryote?
    Having a nucleus is not a characteristic of a prokaryote.
  • Which of the following are bacterial PAMPs?
    Peptidoglycan and lipopolysaccharides are examples of bacterial PAMPs.
  • Which of the following properties are true of both bacteria and archaea?
    Both bacteria and archaea lack a nucleus and have circular DNA.
