Answer:
Each statement is followed by an indication for whether the statement is true or false and an explanation:
9. Penicillin is a drug that comes from a fungus. Another fungus is the source of antiheadache drugs for organ transplant patients.
The first part of this statement is true, penicillium is the fungus that produces penicillium. However, there isn't a record of antiheadache drugs being produced from a fungus for organ transplant patients, or otherwise for that matter.
10. People eat fungi such as truffles, mushrooms, and the yeast in bread. Fungi also give flavor to cheeses and soda drinks.
True. Not all types of fungi are harmful to us, there are several ways we take advantage of micro-organisms and this is just on example.
11. Respiration produces airy bread and the alcohol in beer and wine.
True. The yeast cells undergo aerobic respiration in case of making bread, it's the carbon dioxide they release that causes the bread to rise. During anaerobic respiration, the yeast cells produce alcohol - this process is also called as fermentation.
12. The use of fungi and bacteria to remove pollution is called enviroremediation
False. Environmental remediation is a general term for removing pollution in the environment. When bacteria and fungi are used to help in this process, it is referred to as <u>Bioremediation.</u>
