True or false 1 Anabolism results in increased production of biomass. 2 Oxygenic phototrophs can use hydrogen sulfide as an electron donor. 3 Oxidation is the process of accepting electrons. 4 Water appeared on the earth as a result of bombardment by asteroids. 5 The highest abundance of microbial life in soils appears in the O horizon. 6 Typically, increased oxygenic photosynthetic activity results in a decrease in pH values during the day and an increase in pH values at night. 7 Freshwater represents about 10% of the total water on Earth. 8 Oligotrophic organisms thrive in low nutrient conditions. 9 Establishment of a proton motive force (PMF) is required to generate ATP via substrate level phosphorylation. 10 Siderphores are used to increase availability of manganese in aerobic environments. Solution 1. Anabolism: The process of formation of biomolecules during metabolism such as proteins, polysaccharides, lipids, and nucleic acids etc is known as anabolism, this results in an increase in the production of biomass. Therefore, option is: True 2.Oxygenic phototrophs use oxygen as electron donar, while as anoxygenic phototrophs uses hydrogen sulfide as electron donor. Therefore, option is: False 3. Oxidation is a process in which a substance looses one or more electrons, while as reduction is a process of accepting electrons. Therefore, option is: False 4. The earth got most of the water about 4.6 billion years ago from the asteroid impacts. Therefore, option is: True.
