A- 1st step of water purification

B- 4th step of water purification

C- 5th step of water purification

D- 5tH step of sewage treatment

E- 2nd step of sewage treatment

F- 6th step of water purification

G- 3rd step of water purification

H- 2nd step of water purification

I- 3rd step of sewage treatment

J- 1st step of sewage treatment

K- 4th step of sewage treatment

L- Anaerobic sludge tank

*A bar screen is used to remove grit.

*Water from the secondary settling tank is chlorinated before being released into a stream.

*Organic wastes are allowed to settle out.

* Where usable products are made from the sludge that results from each of the settling tanks

* Flocs are allowed to settle out

* Oxygen content is increased by spraying the water in the air

* The water is filtered

* Large objects are removed

* The water is chlorinated

* Settled material from the microbial decomposition of soluble material is sent to an anaerobic sludge tank.

* Microorganism are allowed to decompose soluble organic material flocculating agents are added.

* Flocculating agents are added.

#2 Why did Biosphere 2 fail?

A- They broke the seal to pump in oxygen?

B- the scientist did not know which microbes to include in their experiments and they guessed wrong

C- the aerobic microbes used more oxygen than expected because the scientist inadvertently overfed them when they were fertilizers.

D- They had not included enough edible animals and they began to starve

#3 What sort of compounds are unable to cycle through the ecosystem?

A- Man-made recalcitrant materials such as plastic

B- naturally- occurring organic compounds

C- naturally-occurring nitrogen-containing compounds

D-cats

#4 What is meant by the assertion that certain elements cycle through the biosphere because of microbial metabolism?

A- bacteria eat new recombinant DNA

B- elements such as nitrogen are converted from one form to another only by microbes

C- Water and CO2 are converted to sugars by means of microbial respiration

D- This is a reference to the extreme variability among bacterial sizes and shapes.

#5 What happens to the CO2 that is released into the environment from various sources (including people exhaling)

A- Autotrophic organisms convert the CO2 to organic compounds

B- Heterotrophic organisms convert the CO2 to organic compounds

C- it places selective pressure on humans to evolve into organisms that can utilize CO2 as a carbon source

D- the CO2 will continue to increase in concentration to the point that all O2- breathing organisms

E- None of the answers

#6 Is it possible to have a self-sustaining, sealed system?

A- yes, it is a simple process

B- yes, biosphere 2 showed that is possible

C- possible, but getting the correct balance would be extremely difficult

#7 How does temperature affect microbial growth?

A- Most microbes are inhibited by cold temp

B- microbes are not affected by temp

C- most microbes grow best in cold temp

#8 A denatured protein is?

A- product of mitochondria

B- mutant, unnatural protein

C- changed in 3D shape and functional abilities

D- confused ribosome

#9 Hand sanitizers are often effective in a inactivation of influenza viruses. What would be the explanation for this?

A- the alcohol in the hand sanitizer denatures the nucleic acid inside the virus.

B- hand sanitizer have enough alcohol in them to dissolve the membrane surrounding the virus. This results in the inactivation of the virus.

C- the ethanol in the hand sanitizer causes the capsid protein to mutate

D- the alcohol in the hand sanitizer gets the virus so drunk it cannot infect a cell

#10 Nosocomial infections are acquired ____

A- from farm animals

B- in a hospital

C- in schools

D- at home

E- by credit card

#11 An antibiotic that is effective against strep throat ( caused by the gram-positive streptococcus pyogenes) and the plague (caused by the gram negative Yersinia pestis) would be considered to be:

A- wonder drug

B- broad spectrum antibiotic

C- a broad spectrum antifungal compound

D- a narrow spectrum anti fungal compound

#12 Light of ultraviolet wavelengths may cause you to develop tanned skin, but also,

A- causes decreased blood pressure

B- denatures the proteins of the bacteria on your skin

C- causes bacteria on the skin to rapidly expand their populations

D- damages your dna, as well that of microbes, potentially causing lethal mutations

E- causes a rapid expansion of viruses on skin cells.

#13 What instrument (piece of equipment) is used to sterilize things in a hospital and by what method is it killing things?

A- an inceration oven uses intense heat to sterilize things

B- an autoclave uses steam and pressure to sterilize things

C- a drying oven uses low heat for long periods of time to sterilize things

D- an autoclave uses poisonous gases to sterilize things
