Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

Which of the following best describes the structure of a bacterium?

  1. A multicellular organism with a cell wall made of chitin
  2. A unicellular organism with no membrane-bound nucleus
  3. A unicellular organism with chloroplasts and mitochondria
  4. A unicellular organism with a membrane-bound nucleus
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: BA unicellular organism with no membrane-bound nucleus
Bacteria are prokaryotes, meaning they lack a membrane-bound nucleus; their genetic material floats freely in the cytoplasm. Option A describes a eukaryotic cell. Option C incorrectly attributes chitin cell walls and multicellularity to bacteria. Option D describes a plant-like eukaryote, not a bacterium.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 2/3

Which of the following is a harmful economic impact of microorganisms on agriculture in the Caribbean?

  1. Destruction of banana crops by Panama disease caused by Fusarium oxysporum
  2. Fermentation of sugarcane juice to produce ethanol
  3. Production of nitrogen compounds in the soil by Rhizobium
  4. Decomposition of organic matter to release plant nutrients
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: ADestruction of banana crops by Panama disease caused by Fusarium oxysporum
Fusarium oxysporum, a fungal pathogen, causes Panama disease which has devastated banana plantations across the Caribbean, representing a major harmful economic impact. Options A and B are beneficial roles of microorganisms. Option D is a beneficial economic use of microorganisms in industry.
