You are a microbiologist working with a species of bacteria that can perform photosynthesis. You know that the enzymes needed to perform photosynthesis in plant cells are closely associated with the membranes in chloroplasts. Where in the bacteria would you expect to find the enzymes needed to perform photosynthesis?
a. I would expect to find the photosynthetic enzymes in the chloroplasts of the bacteria.
b. I would expect to find the photosynthetic enzymes associated with the plasma membrane of the bacteria.
c. I would expect to find the photosynthetic enzymes associated with the mitochondria of the bacteria.
d. I would expect to find the photosynthetic enzymes associated with the ER of the bacteria.
Answer: b. I would expect to find the photosynthetic enzymes associated with the plasma membrane of the bacteria.

A powerline cut has isolated 50 sowbugs from its original population of 15,000. After only five generations, the new population exhibits dramatic genetic differences from the original one, most likely because:
a) members of a small population tend to die off more quickly, removing alleles from the gene pool. b) gene flow increases in a new environment. c) the new environment is different from the old, favoring natural selection. d) by chance, the allele frequencies of the isolated sowbugs differed from those in the original population, and subsequent genetic drift caused further divergence from the original gene pool. e) mutations are more common near a powerline.
