Extension Worksheet 8

This document contains a 9 question end of unit test on topics related to microorganisms including unicellular and multicellular organisms, fungi, bacteria, protoctists, and decomposers. The test covers topics such as food chains containing microorganisms, how yeast causes dough to rise through production of carbon dioxide gas, the role of decomposers in ecosystems, and population growth curves of yeast over time.

4 Maddy and Lilia are making bread. They make two different types of dough. They put a small
amount of each dough mixture into two separate measuring cylinders and put the measuring
cylinders in a warm place. The table shows their results:

Dough A (100 g flour, Dough B (100 g flour,


5 g sugar, 3.5 g yeast, 10 g sugar, 3.5 g yeast,
120 cm3 water) 120 cm3 water)
Starting volume (cm3) 30 20
Finishing volume (cm )
3
55 50

a Why does the dough rise? Tick one box.

A The sugar produces oxygen gas.

B The flour produces carbon dioxide gas.

C The yeast produces oxygen gas.

D The yeast produces carbon dioxide gas.

b At the end of the experiment there were many more yeast cells than there were at the start.
Describe how one yeast cell can become many yeast cells. Draw a diagram as part of your
answer.
