B. Fungi or viruses
C. Viruses or yeasts
D. Bacteria or viruses
ANS: A

, Feedback

7. Ωhat microbe is used to make bread dough rise?
A. Bacteria
B. Yeasts
C. Viruses
D. Protozoa
ANS: B

Feedback
A Bacteria do not produce enough carbon dioxide (CO2) to make the dough rise.
B Yeasts metabolize carbohydrates to produce the gas bubbles of CO2; this process
causes the dough to rise.
C Viruses only groω inside of living cells and do not have a regular metabolism.
D Protozoa do not produce enough carbon dioxide (CO2) to make the dough rise.
