Question 3 10 p Some bacteria are very important for agriculture. They use nitrification, converting ammonia into nitrate, which can be used by plants. These bacteria use inorganic nitrogenous molecules for energy and inorganic carbon dioxide as a carbon source. Nitrifying bacteria are: O Photoautotroph O Chemolithoautotroph O Photoheterotroph O Chemoheterotroph D Question 4 10 pts A bacterium that causes disease, such plague causing bacteria Yersinia pestis, breaking down human tissues for carbon source would be considered a: energy and Photoautotroph O Chemolithoautotroph O Photoheterotroph Chemoheterotroph

Explanation / Answer

3) Chemo litho autotrophs: Obtains energy from the oxidation of inorganic compounds and uses carbon dioxide as its sole source of carbon for growth. eg: nitrifying bacteria

4) Chemo heterotrophs : Chemoorganoheterotrophs which obtain carbon and electron reactions from dead organic compounds .

All animals are chemoheterotrophs (meaning they oxidize chemical compounds as a source of energy and carbon), as are fungi, protozoa, and some bacteria.

All pathogenic bacteria fallen in to chemo heterotrophs .
