Milady Sanitation Exam Review
(116).jpg "Milady Sanitation Exam Review - Quiz")
Just because you can’t see them with the naked eye doesn’t mean that bacteria do not exist. In fact, not being able to see the presence of bacteria, be they harmful or otherwise, makes it far more important to have a healthy foundation of knowledge when it comes to general sanitation. Washing your hands and proper food storage is a good start, but how much else do you know about sanitation?

The process whereby bacteria grow, reproduce, and divide into two new cells is:
- A.
Binary fission
- B.
Meiosis
- C.
Photosynthesis
- D.
Metamorphosis
Correct Answer
A. Binary fissionExplanation
Binary fission is the correct answer because it is the process by which bacteria grow, reproduce, and divide into two new cells. During binary fission, the bacterial cell replicates its DNA and then divides into two identical daughter cells. This process allows bacteria to multiply and increase their population rapidly. Meiosis is a type of cell division that occurs in eukaryotic organisms, not bacteria. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert sunlight into energy, and metamorphosis is a biological process of transformation, typically seen in insects and amphibians, but not in bacteria.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
C. Bacterial infectionExplanation
The presence of pus is a sign of bacterial infection. Pus is a thick, yellowish fluid that is produced in response to an infection. It is composed of dead white blood cells, bacteria, and tissue debris. When the body detects the presence of harmful bacteria, it sends white blood cells to the site of infection to fight off the invaders. As the white blood cells attack and destroy the bacteria, pus is formed. Therefore, the presence of pus indicates an ongoing bacterial infection in the body.Rate this question:
