Q

Which curve would show where taken from human stomach where it is strongly acid?

A

You picked the furthest acid and got it wrong. The right answer was the left one of the pH scale between 0 and 4. This is because the stomach is acidic but not extreme. The body does try to keep it close to zero if possible.

18
Q

Engelmann illuminated a filament of algae with light that passed through a prism, thus exponsing different segments of algae to different wavelengths of light. He added aeorbic bacteria and then noted in which areas the bacteria congregated. He noted that the largest groups were found in the areas illuminated by the red and blue light.

What did Engelmann conclude about the congregation of bacteria in the red and blue areas?

A

Bacteria are attracted to red and blue light and thus these wavelengths are more reactive than other wavelengths.

19
Q

Engelmann illuminated a filament of algae with light that passed through a prism, thus exponsing different segments of algae to different wavelengths of light. He added aeorbic bacteria and then noted in which areas the bacteria congregated. He noted that the largest groups were found in the areas illuminated by the red and blue light.

An outcome of this experiment would help determine:

a. the relationship between heterotrophic and autotrophic organisms
b. the relationship between wavelengths of light and the rate of aerobic respiration
c. the relationship of wavelenths of light and the amount of heat resisted
d. the relationship of between the concentration of CO2 and photosynthesis

Q

Engelmann illuminated a filament of algae with light that passed through a prism, thus exponsing different segments of algae to different wavelengths of light. He added aeorbic bacteria and then noted in which areas the bacteria congregated. He noted that the largest groups were found in the areas illuminated by the red and blue light.

If you ran the same experiment without without passing light through a prism, what would you predict?

a. There would be no difference in results
b. The bacteria would be relatively evenly distributed along algal filaments
c. the number of bacteria present would decrase due to an increase in the CO2 concentration
d. The number of bacteria present would increase due to the increase in CO2
