Question
Which of the following pairs is NOT correctly matched?Group of answer choicesheterocyst cyanobacteriaendospore Bacillusendospore Clostridiummyxospore gliding bacteriaelementary body Escherichia
Solution
The pair that is NOT correctly matched is "elementary body - Escherichia".
Elementary bodies are part of the life cycle of Chlamydia, not Escherichia. Escherichia, specifically Escherichia coli, is a type of bacteria that is commonly found in the intestines of humans and other animals. It does not produce elementary bodies.
Here's a brief explanation of the correctly matched pairs:
-
Heterocyst - Cyanobacteria: Heterocysts are specialized cells that are formed by some filamentous cyanobacteria and are the site of nitrogen fixation.
-
Endospore - Bacillus and Endospore - Clostridium: Both Bacillus and Clostridium are types of bacteria that can form endospores. Endospores are a dormant, tough, and non-reproductive structure produced by certain bacteria in the phylum Firmicutes.
-
Myxospore - Gliding bacteria: Myxospores are formed by certain types of gliding bacteria, specifically myxobacteria. These are a group of bacteria that swarm together, moving along surfaces, and are known for their ability to form fruiting bodies containing myxospores.
