Deck 30: Microbiology

Question 1

Viruses are not included in the five kingdoms.

Answer 1

True
Viruses are not included in the five kingdoms.Scientists differ on the classification of viruses because they do not fit nicely into the characteristics of a "life form."

Question 2

Who is responsible for the theory of evolution?

A)Louis Pasteur
B)Charles Darwin
C)Robert Hooke
D)Robert Whittaker

Answer 2

B
Darwin formed taxonomic categories based on the phylogenetic (evolutionary)relationships between offspring from previous generations,contributing to our understanding of biology.He is considered the Father of Evolution.

Answer 3

False
Gram-negative cell walls contain a lipid that becomes toxic (endotoxins)when in the bloodstream of the host.
