,True or False: A virus is considered a microorganism.
False. Viruses are not living and as such are not considered microorganisms. Viruses can, however, be
classified as microbes, a more general term that includes microorganisms and viruses.
1. What is the smallest biological unit of life? A cell.
2. At a generalized level, all cells are comprised of what?
Macromolecules*
*A student may also answer: Proteins, Lipids, Nucleic acids and Polysaccharides but they must answer
with all four to be fully correct.
1. Which of the following microorganisms are considered to be Eukarya? Select all that apply.
A. Animalia
B. Plantae
C. Fungi
D. Protista
A,B,C,D
2. True of False: All multicellular microorganisms classified as Animalia are
, heterotrophic.
True
3. Microorganisms classified as Plantae obtain most of their energy by converting
energy into energy.
Light (sunlight); chemical (sugars)
1. Define catabolism.
Catabolism is the process of breaking down larger molecules into useful energy sources.
2. Upon cellular injury, which metabolic process is involved during the growth and repair phases of the
cell? The anabolic process would be active as it (by definition) is involved in the building up of small
complexes into larger complexes.
1. In phosphorylation, the light reactions always occur where? The
process of converting light energy into chemical energy
(photophosphorylation) always occurs in the membrane.
2. True or False: The Calvin cycle must occur in the absence of light.
False. The term known as the Calvin Cycle) simply denotes the second stage in
, photosynthesis dark reactions do not actually require darkness in order to occur.
