Answer: Bacteria will use the oxidised form of sulphur. Among all the forms of sulphur molecule such as sulphate which is the more oxidised form and also the other forms like thiosulphate,elemental sulphur, sulphite, hyposulphite can be used as  an electron acceptor. As the coupling of these organic compounds occur, these sulfur bacterias obtain energy from the subsequent oxidation and then reduction of sulfur forms from sulphate to sulphide which is then released in the environment.

Which sequence correctly arranges the building blocks of life from largest and most inclusive to smallest and most specific?
netineya [11]

The right answer is chromosome > DNA > gene.

Living cell element, of characteristic shape and in constant number, located in the nucleus of the cell.

DNA, which is our chromosome, carries the genes . The DNA molecule, also known as deoxyribonucleic acid, is found in all our cells.

The gene is a piece of this DNA that corresponds to a particular genetic information that codes for a single protein. So it's a very small portion of chromosome.
