Question
Chapter 27.6, Problem 3CC
Summary Introduction
To explain: How your diet affects the prokaryotic species that live in your digestive tract.
Concept introduction:
Human digestive tract inhabits around 500-1000 types of bacteria such as Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus, Escherichia, Clostridium, Bacteroides, and so on. These bacteria produce various bioactive compounds, help in breaking down the food components and producing essential vitamins which impact the human health. A major change in the composition may have a negative influence on health; therefore a balance in the microbiota is necessary.

In the geologic time scale, there is a large
delay between the evolution of
photosynthetic bacteria and the increase in
atmospheric oxygen. This delay is accounted
for by the large amount of
iron in the oceans and crust of early Earth
O predators of early photosynthetic bacteria that
reduced population sizes
lead in the oceans and crust of early Earth
O holes in the atmosphere of early Earth that
allowed oxygen to escape
Which of the following can prokaryotes not do? (a) communicate with each other about environmental conditions (b) reproduce sexually (c) live in extreme environments, including high salt, high temperature, and high atmospheric pressure (d) share DNA with other prokaryotes (e) double in population size two or more times an hour
