Short Answer

1. A person can be infected with a few bacteria cells on one day and feel ill the next day from a bacterial
infection. Explain how bacteria cells can infect a person that quickly. Use the term binary fission in your
answer.

2. Hypothesize the effect on a forest ecosystem if all bacteria in the forest become extinct. Use the term
decomposer in your answer.

3. Identify the cell parts labeled A, B, C, and D.

4. Explain why a doctor would order a Gram stain on a bacteria sample taken from an infected patient.

5. Infer why humans would not be able to repair and grow muscle without bacteria.

6. Contrast chemoautotrophs and photoautotrophs.
