W. Sheet 2
1. Cleaning the environment from the pollutants that affect the ecosystem, using living
organisms is called:
A. bacterial treatment
B. biological
C. climate
D. physiology

2. Bacteria in nature are able to fix

A. nitrogen
B. oxygen
C. CO2
D. H2

note: nitrogen lives on the roots of legumes, so it fixes or takes the nitrogen that is not usable, so
it’s a mutualistic relationship, benefitting both the bacteria and the plant as nitrogen in its
atmospheric form is not usable by the plants, and only by fixing it using the bacteria, converting
it into nitrate/nitrite will benefit the plant.

3. Which viral life cycle produces a lot of copies of DNA, and RNA of the virus
A. lytic
B. lysogenic
C. translation
D. none of the above

4. A protein that can cause an infection or disease in living organisms

A. Prion (protist)
B. virus (Genetic strip that PROTEIN encapsulates)
C. bacteria (Unicellular Prokaryotic organism)
D. bacteriophage (the virus that affects bacteria ONLY)

5. Penicillin is extracted from

A. mushrooms
B. Penicillium

6. Which of the following is not a function of the Capsule
A. Prevents dehydration
B. sticks to surfaces
C. movement
D. protection from the external environment

7. Latent (not growing atm, hibernation because of inconvenient conditions.) bacterial cell that
is able to survive in harsh circumstances for a long time
A. Basidiospore
B. External spore
C. Internal spore
D. Zoospores

8. A viral disease that affects the nervous system

A. Botulism
B. Tetanus
C. Cholera
D. viral meningitis
note: All of them are produced by bacteria except for d

9. Temporary convergence between two organisms to exchange chromosomes

A. separation
B. fusion
C. regeneration
D. pairing

10. When the environmental conditions become harder, certain types of bacteria will produce
A. endospore
B. exospore
C. internal skeleton
D. exoskeleton

11. A bacterium that causes disease for humans

A. acidophiles
B. thermophiles
C. E.coli
D. hydrophiles

12. One of the following is found in retroviruses (viruses that contain RNA as their genetic
material)
A. using RNA to produce DNA
B. using DNA to produce RNA
C. producing protein directly from DNA
D. producing proteins directly from RNA

14. Archaebacterial cells lack

A. plasmid
B. chromosome
C. ribosomes
D. nuclear envelope

15. According to locomotion, bacteria:

A. all can move
B. all can’t move
C. all can swim
D. some can move and some can’t

16. Which of the following causes cholera for humans:

A. prions
B. viruses
C. bacteria
D. parasites

17. Microscopic prokaryotic organisms:

A. plants
B. bacteria

D. protists

19. Bacterial cell walls contain

A. peptidoglycan
B. cellulose
C. chitin
D. lignin

20. Which of the following protects bacterial cells from dehydration?

A. Flagella
B. cilia
C. chromosomes
D. capsule

C. algae
D. fungi

22. The cycle in which the viral DNA integrates into a chromosome in a host cell:
A. lytic cycle
B. cell cycle
C. lysogenic cycle
D. model cycle

23. An example of a virus that enters the lysogenic cycle

A. Genital herpes
B. common cold
C. flu
D. Tuberculosis

24. An example of a retrovirus is

A. Adenovirus
B. Influenzas
C. AIDS
D. Tobacco

25. The bacteria that don’t use oxygen for growth or metabolism is called
A. Aerobic
B. Anaerobic
C. Lytic
D. Autotrophic

26. Nutrients are recycled and nitrogen is fixated by
