You decide to go on vacation in the mountains, where you are staying in a cabin. Unfortunately, when you turn on the water in th

e cabin you smell hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas. After some research, you find out that the H2S may be due to the presence of sulfur bacteria living in your pipes. What molecule do these bacteria use as an electron acceptor?

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.

Cellulose makes the cell walls of all plant cells.

Option B

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Enzymes are biomolecules that act as biocatalysts and to enhance the rate of a chemical reaction. Lipids and proteins make up the cell membrane bilayer. Cholesterol is a lipid molecule that comes under the category of very low density lipoprotein. Its not associated with storing the genetic information. The DNA stores the genetic information.

Glucose is the chief respiratory substrate of a cell. Its not associated with the increase in rate of a reaction. But cellulose is the molecule that is a polymer of glucose that is associated with the formation of cell walls in plants.
