PrepTest 151 - Section 4 - Question 22

Show summary

Biologist: Support When bacteria of a particular species are placed in a test tube that has different areas lit with different colors of light, the bacteria move only into the areas lit with a particular shade of red. ███ ████████ ███████ ████████████ █ ████████ ████ ██████ ████ ██ ███████ ██████ ████ ███████████ ████ ████ █████ ██ █████ ████ ████ ███ ██████ ████ ████████ ████ ███ ████████ ██████ ████ █████ ██ █████ ██ ██████████ ███ ████ ██████ █████ ███████████ ██ ██████████

Summarize Argument: Phenomenon-Hypothesis

The author hypothesizes that certain bacteria detect a particular shade of red by monitoring how much energy their chlorophyll produces. This is based on the fact that, when placed into a test tube that has different areas lit with different colors of light, the bacteria move only into areas lit with that shade of red. In addition, the bacteria’s chlorophyll allows them to produce energy more effectively from this shade of red than from any other color.

Notable Assumptions

The author assumes there’s no other explanation for why the bacteria moves only to those areas that are lit with that shade of red.
