CHECK FOR UNDERSTANDING

1. Molecules of extrachromosomal DNA are also known as:

a. Golgi bodies.
b. lysosomes.
c. plasmids.
d. plastids.
RATIO: Plasmids are extrachromosomal DNA molecules that self-replicate in Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, as well
as certain yeast and other fungi.

2. A bacterium possessing a tuft of flagella at one end of its cell would be called what kind of bacterium?
a. amphitrichous
b. lophotrichous
c. monotrichous
d. peritrichous
RATIO: Monotrichous means having a single flagellum at one end, as some bacteria.

3. A bacterium possessing one or more flagella at each end of its cell would be called what kind of bacterium?
a. amphitrichous
b. lophotrichous
c. monotrichous
d. peritrichous
RATIO: A lophotrichous bacteria is one that has one or more flagella at either end of its cell.

4. Some bacteria stain Gram-positive and others stain Gram-negative as a result of differences in the structure of their:
a. capsule.
b. cell membrane.
c. cell wall.
d. ribosomes.
RATIO: Because of changes in the structure of their cell walls, certain bacteria stain Gram-positive while others stain Gram-
negative.

5. Of the following, which one is not found in prokaryotic cells?

a. cell membrane
b. chromosome
c. mitochondria
d. plasmids
RATIO: Mitochondria can not be found in prokaryotic cell.
