B. It protects the cells from being eaten (phagocytosis).
C. It protects the DNA of the organism under harsh conditions.
D. It is difficult for antibiotics to penetrate the endospore wall

A

C. It protects the DNA of the organism under harsh conditions.

23

Does the species have flagella?

A. True
B. False

A

A. True

24

B. 8 um
C. 6.25 um
D. 0.16 um

A. True
B. False

A

A. True

28
Q

The structure that allows prokaryotic movement.

A

Flagellum

29
Q

A capsule can prevent a species from being phagocytosed by our white blood cells, so capsules are considered virulence factors.

A. True
B. False

A

A. True

30
Q

List the name (chemical or dye) of the primary stain of the acid fast stain.

A

carbolfuchsin, carbol fuchsin

31
Q

This is a dichotomous key, and it would work to ID species A.

A. True
B. False

A

B. False

Reason: It asks yes or no questions , but it regroups species that were split apart and it never singles out individual species.
