BIO104E (Self - Assement Questions)

1. The document contains two multiple choice questions about microbiology and parasitology. The first section contains 10 questions about bacterial morphology, structures, and classifications. The second section contains 10 questions about normal flora found in different parts of the human body. 2. Key topics covered include bacterial shapes, cell walls, structures like flagella and pili, acid-fast staining, gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, normal flora synthesis of vitamins, locations of common bacteria like Strep. pneumoniae and Strep. viridans, commensalism, sites of enteric gram-negative bacilli, sources of Staph. aureus outbreaks, and characteristics of normal flora. 3
