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.

 

D.

All of the above are true.

 

64.

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.

 

65.

Which microscope would be the BEST selection for examination of a virus?

A.

Confocal scanning laser microscope

 

B.

Atomic force microscope

 

C.

Dark-field light microscope

 

D.

Scanning electron microscope

 

66.

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.

 

67.

Your instructor wants you to bring in an example of a biofilm to your lab.  Which choice is the best selection for bringing in an intact biofilm for further study?

A.

Disconnecting and bringing in the old, mildewed showerhead from the showers in your dorm.

 

B.

Scraping the mold off of the shower curtain in your dorm’s bathroom into a paper cup using a butter knife.

 

C.

Using a toothpick to scrape plaque off of your teeth and smearing it onto a slide to bring in to lab.

 

D.

Wiping a sponge across a slimy boulder in a stream in a nearby park and bringing it in to lab.

 

68.

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.

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 mitochondria in animal cells.

 

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.

 

69.

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.

 

70.

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.
