What is the name of the activity that occurs when cells divide to create new cells?
- A.
Mitosis
- B.
Active stage
- C.
Inactive stage
- D.
Reproduction
Correct Answer
A. MitosisExplanation
Mitosis is the correct answer because it is the process by which cells divide to create new cells. During mitosis, the cell's nucleus and genetic material are divided equally into two daughter cells, ensuring that each new cell receives a complete set of chromosomes. This process is vital for growth, development, and tissue repair in multicellular organisms.Rate this question:

One celled micro-organisms are called germs or:
- A.
Bacteria
- B.
Fungi
- C.
Ringworm
- D.

Correct Answer
A. BacteriaExplanation
One-celled microorganisms are commonly referred to as bacteria. Bacteria are single-celled organisms that can be found in various environments and can have both positive and negative effects on living organisms. They play a crucial role in the decomposition of organic matter and nutrient recycling, but some bacteria can also cause diseases in humans and animals. Therefore, bacteria are often associated with the term "germs" as they are commonly known to cause infections and illnesses.Rate this question:

What types of disinfectants kill bacteria, viruses, fungi and pseudomonas and are known as hospital-grade or hospital-level disinfectants?
- A.
Sanitizers
- B.
Bactericidals
- C.
Registered disinfectants
- D.
Broad spectrum disinfectants
Correct Answer
D. Broad spectrum disinfectantsExplanation
Broad spectrum disinfectants are capable of killing a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and pseudomonas. These disinfectants are often referred to as hospital-grade or hospital-level disinfectants because they are effective in healthcare settings where there is a higher risk of infection. Unlike sanitizers, which primarily reduce the number of microorganisms but may not kill all types, broad spectrum disinfectants provide a higher level of protection by effectively eliminating various pathogens. Bactericidals specifically target bacteria and may not be effective against other types of microorganisms. Registered disinfectants simply indicate that the product has been approved by relevant authorities, but it does not necessarily imply broad spectrum efficacy.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. StaphylococciExplanation
Staphylococci are pus-forming bacterial cells that form grape-like clusters. They are commonly found in abscesses, which are localized collections of pus. Staphylococci are spherical in shape and can cause various infections in humans, ranging from minor skin infections to more serious conditions such as pneumonia and sepsis. They are also known for their ability to develop antibiotic resistance, making them a significant concern in healthcare settings. Streptococci, on the other hand, are bacterial cells that form chains and are responsible for causing infections such as strep throat and certain types of pneumonia. Diplococci are bacteria that form pairs, and spirilla are spiral-shaped bacteria.Rate this question:

Bacterial cells that grow in pairs and are the cause of certain infections such as pneumonia are known as:
- A.
Bacilli
- B.
Diplococci
- C.
Spirilla
- D.
Staphylococci
Correct Answer
B. DiplococciExplanation
Diplococci are bacterial cells that grow in pairs and are responsible for certain infections such as pneumonia. This term is derived from the Greek words "diplo" meaning double and "kokkos" meaning berry, referring to the characteristic arrangement of these bacteria. Unlike bacilli, which are rod-shaped, and spirilla, which are spiral-shaped, diplococci have a distinctive paired arrangement. Staphylococci, on the other hand, are bacteria that form clusters or grape-like structures. Therefore, the correct answer for this question is diplococci.Rate this question:
