nitrogen from the atmosphere by bacteria: Nitrogen Fixation
2. If enough H+ ions are added to pure water to raise the H+ concentration
of the solution to ten times higher than the original concentration, what is
the resulting OH- concentration of the solution: 10-8 M

naming of organisms: Taxonomy

bacteria from a clinic to a laboratory for testing: Transport-meduim
. Which activity is an example of biotechnology: the production of human
insulin
6. Which of the following is produced by adding 1% to 5% agar to nutrient

the capsid and nucleic acid
12. A protozoan having flagellum would be classified in the genus:
