Question

Sulphur bacteria obtain their energy for the synthetic process by the oxidation of which compound?
Options
A Carbon dioxide
B Elemental sulfur
C Hydrogen sulphide
Correct Answer
D Organic substances
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Page 6, under 'Sulphur bacteria', states: 'Obtain their energy for the synthetic process by the oxidation of hydrogen sulphide (HS).' It also mentions elemental sulfur as a waste product, not an energy source for their initial process.

Hint

Focus on what the bacteria oxidize to *obtain energy*, not what they produce as waste.
