What is/are characteristic(s) of Archaea? - Answer-- They have 70S ribosomes like
bacteria that are not typically inhibited by antibacterials
- They can have mRNA that are polycistronic
True or False: Pasteurization is not sterilization, but it is a process to reduce microbes
preventing them from spoiling food and beverages - Answer-True
Normally, what is true about photosynthesis?
a) Oxygen donates its electrons, which gets excited by light to initiate electron transport
b) NADPH or NADH donates its electrons to initiate electron transport
c) Both can happen in photosynthesis
d) None of these happens in photosynthesis - Answer-d) None of these happens in
photosynthesis
True or False: A piece of DNA entering a cell is suicidal if it does not have an origin of
replication - Answer-True
