4. These are also called infectious particles. These microbes include viruses and prions.
a. cellular Microbes
b. prokaryotes
c. eukaryotes
d. acellular Microbes
ANSWER: ________ D
RATIO:__________________________________________________________________________________
Viruses, viroids and prions are included in acellular microorganisms. These organisms when present outside the living host
________________________________________________________________________________________
cell are considered non-living, as they behave as inert particles, but inside the host cell they can replicate and behave like
________________________________________________________________________________________
living organisms.

5. These are also called microorganisms. It includes all bacteria, all archaea, some algae, all protozoa, and
some fungi
a. cellular Microbes
b. prokaryotes
c. eukaryotes
d. acellular Microbes
ANSWER: ________ A
RATIO:__________________________________________________________________________________
Microorganisms, also known as microbes, are tiny organisms that are only visible under an optical microscope or an electron
________________________________________________________________________________________
microscope. They are small in size and simple in structure. Microbes reproduce quickly, can tolerate a wide range of
environmental conditions, are widely distributed, highly variable, and tend to congregate.

6. This do not cause disease under ordinary conditions but have the potential to cause disease should the
opportunity present itself.
a. pathogens
b. opportunistic infection
c. indigenous Microbiota
d. fastidious microbes
ANSWER: ________ B
RATIO:__________________________________________________________________________________
An opportunistic pathogen is an organism that normally does not harm its host but can cause disease especially when

7. This kind of pathogen colonizes on the host body and cause a certain disease.
a. infectious Disease
b. microbial Intoxication
c. pathogen
d. non-pathogen
ANSWER: ________ A
Infectious diseases are disorders caused by organisms — such as bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites. Many organisms
RATIO:__________________________________________________________________________________
live in and on our bodies. They're normally harmless or even helpful. But under certain conditions, some organisms may
________________________________________________________________________________________
cause disease. Some infectious diseases can be passed from person to person.
________________________________________________________________________________________
_________________________

8. A pathogen produces a toxin in vitro. A person ingests the toxin and the toxin causes a disease.
a. infectious Disease
b. microbial Intoxication
c. pathogen
d. non-pathogen
ANSWER: ________ C
RATIO:__________________________________________________________________________________
Pathogens cause illness to their hosts through a variety of ways. The most obvious means is through direct damage of
________________________________________________________________________________________
tissues or cells during replication, generally through the production of toxins, which allows the pathogen to reach new tissues or
________________________________________________________________________________________
exit the cells inside which it replicated.

9. The first microorganisms on earth are:

a. archaea
b. algae
c. cyanobacteria
d. both A and C
e. all of these
ANSWER: ________ D
RATIO:__________________________________________________________________________________
Candidates for the first microorganisms on Earth are archaea and cyanobacteria. Infectious diseases of humans and
________________________________________________________________________________________
animals have existed for as long as humans and animals have inhabited the planet. Earliest known account of pestilence
occurred in Egypt in about 3180 BC.

a. ubiquitous
b. small
c. tiny
d. fastidious
ANSWER: ________ A
RATIO:__________________________________________________________________________________
Microorganisms are ubiquitous in all kinds of micro- and macro-ecology environments on earth. They can survive even in
