Chapter 26, Problem 8TYU
Summary Introduction
To review:
Whether the result of the experiment performed on the magnetite-producing bacteria support or undermines the hypothesis that the bacteria in the culture media perform
Introduction:
The researchers observed the bacteria obtained from deep subsurface to produce magnetite under laboratory conditions. The same bacterial culture was treated with a poisonous drug, which blocked or inactivated the enzymes involved in the electron transport chains. These bacterial cultures did not produce magnetite.

As an environmental engineer, you will follow the scientific method and start your work by generating a hypothesis first.
Formulate a hypothesis on how bacterial cells use their characteristics to take up hydrocarbons from oil spills. Specify the mode of transport through the cell membrane (active vs. passive/endocytosis vs. exocytosis) and support your claim with scientific reasoning.
Describe how these bacterial cells would take up hydrocarbons if:
they only possessed a cell membrane and lacked the cell wall.
they possessed membrane-bound organelles such as vesicles.
Include in your answer the lipid bilayer, structural components of cell membranes and those of cell walls, and discuss the selective permeability characteristic of membranes.
Cells use two ways of storing potential energy: 1) as concetration gradients and 2) in molecules.
A) Explain how energy can be stored in these two forms and how it can be used to do the work.
B) Propose an analogy that can explain each these forms of energy storage using everyday items.
A flask containing an aquatic plant in water is placed next to a light. A sensor that detects the amount of dissolved oxygen is placed in the flask, and the light is set on a timer to run on a 12-hour-light, 12-hour-dark cycle for 48 hours. Explain how the amount of dissolved oxygen will change in the flask during the 12-hour-light cycle Support your explanation using information about the processes that are occurring in the flask.Explain how the amount of dissolved oxygen will change in the flask during the 12-hour-dark cycle.

Let’s give it a shot.” 2. “Hyperbaric chamber treatment won’t work because these bacteria can undergo anaerobic fermentation when oxygen levels are low. I’m prescribing oral antibiotics.” 3. “Hyperbaric chamber treatment won’t work because these bacteria can undergo aerobic respiration when oxygen is abundant. I’m going to prescribe oral antibiotics.” 4. “Hyperbaric chamber treatment might work because these bacteria won’t be able to obtain energy under high-oxygen conditions.
