1Choose the incorrect statement about trophic nourishment.
- AChemoheterotrophs can get their energy and carbon from the same organic compound.
- BA phototroph uses light as en energy source, and can be oxygenic or anoxygenic.
- CA chemotroph uses chemical energy as an energy source.
- DAutotrophs can make complex carbons from CO2.
- EAnoxygenic phototrophs oxidise molecules like H2S and do not produce oxygen.
- FOxygenic phototrophs reduce H2O and produce oxygen.
2Choose the correct statements about cyanobacteria.
- AThey use light as an energy source.
- BThey oxidise water for electrons.
- CThey use complex carbons for a carbon source.
- DThey carry out oxygenic photosynthesis.
- EThey reduce water for electrons.
3Choose the incorrect statement about green and purple cyanobacteria.
- AThey are photoautotrophs.
- BThey oxidise H2S to S for an electron source.
- CThey use CO2 for an energy source.
4Choose the correct statement about colourless sulfur bacteria(Beggiatoa).
- AThey sit below green and purple sulfur bacteria in the Winogradsky column.
- BThey are chemoheterotrophs.
- CThey oxidise H2S to SO4.
- DThey use complex organic carbons for a carbon source.
5Sulfate reducing bacteria are chemoheterotrophs that essentially reverse the processes that colourless sulfur bacteria carry out.

6Organisms which carry out fermentation are [blank_start]chemoheterotrophs[blank_end]. Their energy source, carbon source, and electron donor, are always [blank_start]complex carbons[blank_end] (organic molecules) and sometimes are even the same molecule. An example of [blank_start]a fermenting chemoheterotroph[blank_end] are cellulose degrading bacteria, which break pyruvate down into [blank_start]acetate[blank_end] and simultaneously degrade cellulose into [blank_start]lactate[blank_end]. Other examples include clostridium and [blank_start]rumen[blank_end] bacteria.

- Jrumen
- Kcolourless sulfur
7Microbial growth in a [blank_start]closed batch[blank_end] culture system is not like nature, in that it is a 'Feast and [blank_start]Famine[blank_end]' situation controlled by the examiner. There are four stages which characterise the growth [blank_start]curve[blank_end] for bacteria in this system.
Firstly, there is a [blank_start]lag phase[blank_end]. It is shown as little to no change in the population size. The lag period [blank_start]differs depending[blank_end] on how much the inoculum must evolve and adjust before it is suited to the environment/has the proper [blank_start]biosynthetic reactions[blank_end] taking place.
The next phase is the [blank_start]exponential phase[blank_end]. During this phase there are [blank_start]no limited resources[blank_end] or competition and so the bacterial population can [blank_start]double[blank_end] in size every generation via binary fission, displaying exponential population growth.
The next phase is the [blank_start]stationary phase[blank_end]. This appears to be a stable population size, but does not indicate static activity. Instead, it reflects the cryptic growth of the organisms. Cryptic growth is the state of [blank_start]dynamic[blank_end] equilibrium where organisms survive by feeding from the lysed, dead bodies of deceased organisms.
Finally, there will be a [blank_start]death phase[blank_end] where the population size decreases until it is at a stable end point.- Aclosed batch

8What might cause a persistent bacterial infection?
- AMicrobes which are able to degrade antibiotics.
- BMicrobes not all being in the same stage of a life cycle, and the non-dividing organisms not being targeted by antibiotics.
- CMicrobes which can repopulate faster than a patient can be medicated.
9To be antibiotic resistant a microbe must carry the genes which confer resistance.

10Choose the incorrect statement about microbial behaviour.
- ASome bacteria are very large e.g. thiomargarita.
- BSome bacteria have organelles e.g. Anammox bacteria
- CMyxobacteria display social behaviour.
- DNone of these are incorrect.
11Which statement best describe the 'sliding' behaviour displayed by myxobacteria.
- AIt is a form of social motility wherein each bacteria pulls with pili and secretes slime like a propellent.
- BIt is the microbial version of hunting like a wolf pack.
- CIt is swarm feeding cooperatively by sharing enzymes and attacking targets as a group.
12When a food source is exhausted, myxobacteria form 3D structures of endospores. What are these referred to as?
- AFruiting bodies
- BSporing bodies
- CEndospikes
