Which of the following is not employed in single cell protein production?

  1. Chlorella

  2. Aspergillus

  3. Clostridium

  4. Saccharomyces
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Single cell protein (SCP) production relies on microorganisms like algae (Chlorella, Spirulina), fungi (Aspergillus), and yeast (Saccharomyces). Clostridium is a genus of bacteria primarily known for anaerobic processes like nitrogen fixation or fermentation, not typically for high-yield SCP production.

Chemosynthesis is BEST defined as _________________.

  1. Synthesis of food by chemical means

  2. Synthesis of a chemical compound

  3. Synthesis of food with energy obtained in a chemical reaction

  4. Absorption of food material in various parts of the body
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Chemosynthesis is the biological conversion of carbon containing compounds and other nutrients into organic matter using the oxidation of inorganic molecules or methane as a source of energy, rather than sunlight. Thus, it is best defined as the synthesis of food with energy obtained in a chemical reaction.
