  1. What is Archaea?
    (a) Archaea is a classification for organisms that have two nuclei.
    (b) Archaea is a classification for organisms that use phagocytosis.
    (c) Archaea is a classification of an organism that identifies prokaryotes
    that do not have peptidoglycan cell walls.
    (d) Archaea is a classification of an organism that identifies prokaryotes
    that have peptidoglycan cell walls.

  2. What is phagocytosis?
    (a) The ability of a cell to reproduce.
    (b) The ability of a cell to move throughout a microorganism.
    (c) The ability of a cell to engulf and digest solid materials by use of
    pseudopods, or “false feet.”

    piece.
    (c) A microscope whose lenses are concave.
    (d) A microscope whose lenses are convex.

  4. What is Germ Theory?
    (a) Germ Theory states that a disease-causing microorganism should be
    present in animals infected by the disease and not in healthy animals.
    (b) Germ Theory states that a disease-causing microorganism should be
    present in healthy animals and not in infected animals.
    (c) Germ Theory states that a disease-causing microorganism should be
    destroyed.
    (d) Germ Theory states that a disease-causing microorganism cannot be
    destroyed.
