1.

In Experiment 1, there were two groups of 20 ________ that were experimented on.

a)

mice.

b)

worms.

c)

bacteria.

d)

salmonella.

2.

In Experiment 1, the two groups of mice were given __________ to see if they would get sick.

a)

C.diff

b)

C.jejuni

c)

Salmonella

d)

Actinobacteria

3.

Why did the group of mice with spaces and gaps in their microbiome get sicker than the other group?

a)

Spaces in a microbiome allow bad bacteria like Salmonella or C.diff to grow and expand.

b)

They were sick mice when we started the experiment.

c)

They were supposed to get sick from Salmonella.

d)

Good bacteria weren't able to save them from C.diff.

4.

If a human has taken antibiotics for an infection, what dangerous situation could occur?

a)

They could get diarrhea.

b)

They could get Covid or the flu.

c)

They might have to get more antibiotics.

d)

There could be spaces or gaps in their microbiome.

5.

Why would spaces or gaps in a person's microbiome be dangerous?

a)

It isn't dangerous at all.

b)

People with gaps and spaces in their microbiome are more likely to get sick.

c)

People will get diarrhea.

d)

Good bacteria won't grow in empty space.

6.

What is one thing that good bacteria in a healthy and full microbiome do?

a)

Good bacteria keep people warm like coat because they cover a person all over.

b)

Good bacteria feed people antibiotics like C.diff and Salmonella.

c)

Good bacteria become bad when the bacteria die like C.jejuni.

d)

Like a shield, good bacteria protect people from bad bacteria because the good bacteria cover every space of a humans body.

7.

During Week 7, why did Patient 23 get a fecal transplant instead of more antibiotics?

a)

It didn't matter how we treated Patient 23. Both would have worked.

b)

Antibiotics restore healthy bacteria to a person's microbiome.

c)

Healthy and full microbiomes depend on fecal transplants for more good bacteria.

d)

Antibiotics would have killed all of the bacteria. The fecal transplant filled in the spaces with good bacteria.

8.

Which is an example of normal and good bacteria in a human microbiome?

a)

Samonella

b)

C.diff infection

c)

C.jejuni

d)

Bacilli

9.

Which is an example of normal and good bacteria in a human microbiome?

a)

C.jejuni

b)

C.diff infection

c)

L.reuteri

d)

Salmonella

10.

Which is an example of normal and good bacteria in a human microbiome?

a)

C.jejuni

b)

C.diff infection

c)

B. fragilis

d)
