Evidence that bacteria are diverse includes: (a) found everywhere you looked; (b) metabolize nutrients in different ways; (c) colonies differ in color, odor, texture, etc.; (d) all of the above. To identify an unknown bacteria in the lab, a good first step is to do a gram stain on a specimen and examine it under the microscope. (a) true; (b) false. 10. 23

Explanation / Answer

1 Members of the Monera kingdom lack chloroplast,a nucleus and mitochondria all of these

2 the autotrophic monerans are cyanobacteria

3 Bacteria reproduce by binary fission

4 Most bacteria are chemoheterotrophs that is they use the electrons from hydrogen atoms in organic compounds as their energy source
