do a bit of research to find a microbe that also has odd growth requirements (i.e. it can break down odd substances in order to meet its nutritional needs). Tell us what the microbe uses, how it accesses these nutrients (special enzymes, does it get help from other organisms, etc), as well as the potential utility of microbe to aid in Earth or human health.
In the near future, medical treatments will more frequently involve pharmacogenetics. Explain what pharmacogenetics is and using an example, explain two ways that people will likely benefit from it
Gamma rays and X-rays are effective in killing microorganisms because they:
a. damage DNA
b. dislodge electrons from atoms, creating ions
c. none of these
d. produce powerful oxidizing agents (peroxides)
