Test Bank For Microbiology: A Human Perspective, 6th Edition - Page 15 preview imageChapter 01-Humans and the Microbial World1-1463.Thiomargaritanamibiensiscould not be a eukaryote because it is only 1mm in width.FALSEEssay Questions64.What would likely have been the results of Pasteur's experiments on SpontaneousGeneration if his laboratory had been housed in a stable?Most likely the results would have supported spontaneous generation. Pasteur used boiling to"sterilize" the media. In other environments, such as stables, it would be more likely that heatresistant forms of bacteria (endospores) would be present in the media. Therefore, uponincubation, both types of flasks would show growth. This result would be consistent with theidea of spontaneous generation.65.What are determining factors in limiting the size of a cell?The smallest size a cell may attain would be determined by the number and size of the variousmolecules necessary for metabolism, growth and replication. It appears that mycoplasma isthe smallest free living organism. The largest size a cell may attain would be limited by thesurface area versus volume of the cell. The volume of a cell increases much faster thansurface area. Since the amount of material that enters/leaves the cell is dependent on thesurface area, the requirements of the volume would soon outstrip the ability of the cell tobring it in through the available surface area.66.Why is the study of bacteria important?Bacteria may be used as models to gain insight into the workings of more complex organisms.They may be grown quickly, cheaply and relatively easily. They perform many of the samephysiological/metabolic/biochemical functions as the more complex organisms using thecommon molecules of DNA, RNA, and protein. They are intimate companions of our bodies.Bacteria cause disease. They protect against disease. They contribute to a number offundamental processes without which life would be more difficult to maintain i.e., nitrogenfixation, antibiotic production, genetic engineering, cellulose degradation, food production,and chemical production.
