Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 2S
The classic experiment by Pasteur (figure 1.4) tested the hypothesis that cells arise from other cells. In this experiment cell growth was measured following sterilization of broth in a swan-necked flask or in a flask with a broken neck.
a. Which variables were kept the same in these two experiments?
b. How does the shape of the flask affect the experiment?
c. Predict the outcome of each experiment based on the two hypotheses.
d. Some bacteria (germs) are capable of producing heat-resistant spores that protect the cell and allow it to continue to grow after the environment cools. How would the outcome of this experiment have been affected if spore-forming bacteria were present in the broth?

Many of the first prokaryotes to be cultured in a scientific lab were human or animal pathogens. Why would these species be more readily cultured than non-pathogenic prokaryotes? a. Pathogenic prokaryotes are hardier than nonpathogenic prokaryotes. b. Non-pathogenic prokaryotes require more supplements in their growth media. c. Most of the necessary culture conditions could be inferred for pathogenic prokaryotes. d. Pathogenic bacteria can grow as free bacteria, but non-pathogenic bacteria only grow as parts of large colonies.
A microbiology student was given a mixed culture of two different gram positive bacteria species to grow into a culture medium using correct aseptic techniques. After two days,one gram positive bacterial species grew on the media and the growth appeared red on the surface of the medium. Tthe second gram positive bacterial species grew and the growth appeared yellow on the surface of the medium. What is the possible explanation for the differences in the color of the bacterial growth?
A.
the culture was contaminated
B.
the microbiologist put too much inoculum on the culture medium
C.
the medium was a selective medium
D.
the medium was differential

You then moved the cells to an incubator containing normal atmosphere (i.e., 21% oxygen), completed a second set of measurements, and made the following observations: The rate of cell division increased considerably after the addition of oxygen (aerobic growth) Glucose consumption dropped dramatically after the addition of oxygen Intracellular ATP:ADP ratios increased significantly (from 2:1 in the absence of oxygen to 10:1 in the presence of oxygen) Explain how the mitochondria in the yeast contribute to the dramatic drop in glucose utilization and increase in ATP concentrations in the presence of oxygen.arrow_forward
