|Dear Students, this revision test will cover everything related to bacteria related to in Biology 0610 Syllabus. |
|Answer ALL Questions. |
1. When bacteria are spread onto agar in a Petri dish they form colonies. Each colony forms from one bacterium. Fig. 4.1 shows an investigation into antibiotic resistance in a species of bacterium that causes disease.

Mark Scheme & Material Related
1.
|(a) |drug / medicine(AW) / chemical / substance ; |medicine / AW e.g. ‘(antibiotic) used to treat |
| |produced by microorganisms ; |infection’ is worth a mark |
| |A ref to idea of synthetic analogues |A examples e.g. penicillin qualified |
| |kills / stops, growth of, bacteria / other microbes ; |‘penicillin is an antibiotic that kills bacteria/AW’ |
| |[2] |would gain 2 marks |
