Multiple Choice Questions
 
  | 
   63. 
   | 
  
   An electron microscope must
  place the specimen in a vacuum within a sealed chamber.  Why? 
  
   
    | 
     A. 
     | 
    
     Electrons are particles-there are also particles in
    air.  Without a vacuum, the electrons would strike and be scattered by
    the atoms/particles within the air. 
     | 
    
   
    
  
   
    | 
     B. 
     | 
    
     Because electrons are highly radioactive, and the
    chamber must be completely sealed to prevent them from escaping and
    contaminating the lab area. 
     | 
    
   
    
  
   
    | 
     C. 
     | 
    
     This is the method for fixing the specimen to the
    slide grid for an electron microscope.  Without fixing the specimen by
    vacuum, it would slide off and we wouldn’t be able to visualize it. 
     |

   An electron microscope must
  use electromagnet ‘lenses’ shaped like donuts to direct the electrons
  onto the specimen.  Why aren’t they solid, like the lenses in a light
  microscope? 
  
   
    | 
     A. 
     | 
    
     A magnetic field cannot be applied across a
    completely solid object-there must be an opening within the object for the
    field to be applied through. 
     | 
    
   
    
  
   
    | 
     B. 
     | 
    
     The user has to be able to physically look through
    the magnets to focus the beam of electrons onto the specimen, since the
    metal of the magnets is opaque.  Without a hole in the middle, the
    user wouldn’t be able to see! 
     | 
    
   
    
  
   
    | 
     C. 
     | 
    
     The electrons would destroy the electromagnet
    material unless there was a physical hole for them to travel through on
    their way to the specimen. 
     | 
    
   
    
  
   
    | 
     D. 
     | 
    
     Electrons are particles, and particles cannot
    travel through a solid item.  The hole in the middle allows them to
    travel from the source of the electrons to the specimen.

   You want to examine the
  structure of the protein coat of a virus by microscopy.  Which
  microscope is your best choice, and why? 
  
   
    | 
     A. 
     | 
    
     The scanning electron microscope-it has excellent
    resolution and magnification, much higher than a light microscope, and can
    clearly visualize viruses. 
     | 
    
   
    
  
   
    | 
     B. 
     | 
    
     An atomic force microscope-this has the highest
    resolution and magnification of the microscopes we discussed.  Here,
    we want to visualize a subcomponent of the virus particles, so we need the
    best value for resolution and magnification we can possibly achieve. 
     | 
    
   
    
  
   
    | 
     C. 
     | 
    
     A fluorescent microscope-this will let us tag the
    protein coat with colored dyes in order to visualize it using this light
    microscope at 1000x. 
     | 
    
   
    
  
   
    | 
     D. 
     | 
    
     A bright-field light microscope-of course, we’ll
    need to stain the viruses before we can visualize them against the bright
    white background at 1000x total magnification.

   A newly developed
  antibiotic drug shows promise by inhibiting prokaryotic 70S ribosomes in
  initial studies.  However, when animal studies are begun, it’s noted
  that it also inhibits growth of animal cells.  Aren’t prokaryotic
  ribosomes different from eukaryotic ribosomes?  How can this be
  happening? 
  
   
    | 
     A. 
     | 
    
     Perhaps the ribosomes aren’t as different as we
    thought, so a drug can affect and impair both of them. 
     | 
    
   
    
  
   
    | 
     B. 
     | 
    
     While the proteins made in the cytosol of
    eukaryotic cells are, indeed, produced from the 80S eukaryotic ribosome,
    mitochondria and chloroplasts possess 70S ribosomes.  This drug might
    be impairing the activity of chloroplasts in animal cells. 
     | 
    
   
    
  
   
    | 
     C. 
     |

     | 
    
   
    
  
   
    | 
     D. 
     | 
    
     Perhaps the scientists accidently combined their
    cultures of animal and bacterial cells-this might indicate an impairment in
    growth in the culture.  In reality, it’s still just impairing the
    bacterial cells.

   A research laboratory is
  investigating environmental factors that would inhibit the growth of Archaea.  One
  question they have is if adding the antibiotic penicillin would be effective
  in controlling their growth.  What do you think the outcome would be if
  they tried this? 
  
   
    | 
     A. 
     | 
    
     The penicillin wouldn’t affect the Archaea because it prevents crosslinking of
    peptidoglycan-Archaea don’t have this
    compound in their cell walls. 
     | 
    
   
    
  
   
    | 
     B. 
     | 
    
     The penicillin will inhibit cell wall formation in
    the Archaea, killing them. 
     | 
    
   
    
  
   
    | 
     C. 
     | 
    
     The penicillin will slow down the growth of
    the Archaea by damaging the
    cell wall, but they will still be able to grow somewhat. 
     | 
    
   
    
  
   
    | 
     D. 
     | 
    
     The penicillin will enhance the growth of the Archaea by providing a rich nutrient source.

   | 
  
   A research lab is trying to
  produce new antibiotics.  They come up with drugs that detach the
  hydrophilic heads from the phospholipids in plasma membranes.  This drug 
  
   
    | 
     A. 
     | 
    
     would be highly toxic and completely useless for
    human beings-we also have plasma membranes with hydrophilic head groups! 
     | 
    
   
    
  
   
    | 
     B. 
     | 
    
     would be highly toxic only to bacteria, making it
    an excellent drug to develop and test further.  Humans have a
    different phospholipid structure in their cell plasma membranes than
    bacteria. 
     | 
    
   
    
  
   
    | 
     C. 
     | 
    
     would generally not be toxic enough to damage Gram-negative
    bacteria, as their plasma membranes lie under a thick layer of
    peptidoglycan. 
     | 
    
   
    
  
   
    | 
     D. 
     | 
    
     would be highly toxic for human beings, but might
    be useful as a topical antibiotic skin cream.  The top layer of skin
    cells is dead anyway, so it wouldn’t matter if this damaged those cells.
     It could NOT be taken internally, though, by human beings. 
     | 
    
   
   | 
 
 
 
  | 
   71. 
   | 
  
   A new drug is developed
  that targets and binds to the lipid A portion of LPS from Gram-negative
  bacterial cells.  This drug shows a high degree of activity and binding
  in a test tube setting against purified lipid A.  Based on this
  information, 
  
   
    | 
     A. 
     | 
    
     we should fast track this drug and get it out to
    physicians immediately to help prevent toxic/septic shock in humans. 
     | 
    
   
    
  
   
    | 
     B. 
     | 
    
     we should do some animal testing with whole
    Gram-negative cells and the drug before we jump to any conclusions. 
     | 
    
   
    
  
   
    | 
     C. 
     | 
    
     we should next proceed by moving to testing in a
    test tube using whole Gram-negative cells to see if it binds with the same
    strength. 
     | 
    
   
    
  
   
    | 
     D. 
     | 
    
     we should abandon the drug entirely.  Binding
    to lipid A won’t kill the bacteria, so the drug is useless to develop
    further.  It wouldn’t help humans who have septic shock at all. 
     | 
    
   
   | 
 
 
 
  | 
   72. 
   | 
  
   Another new drug is
  developed-this one inhibits formation of the flagellar filament by impairing
  production of the protein flagellin.  Is this going to be a good drug? 
  
   
    | 
     A. 
     | 
    
     Potentially-it would definitely only impair
    bacteria, but wouldn’t matter for the ones that don’t use a flagellum to
    move around. 
     | 
    
   
    
  
   
    | 
     B. 
     | 
    
     Potentially-if it could be shown that it also
    didn’t impair the production of the eukaryotic flagellum. 
     | 
    
   
    
  
   
    | 
     C. 
     | 
    
     No-our eukaryotic cells depend on flagella to move
    around in our body, and this would impair that function. 
     | 
    
   
    
  
   
    | 
     D. 
     | 
    
     No-bacterial flagella are produced using
    microtubules, not the protein flagellin.  This drug would be useless
    in eliminating bacteria.
