Question

Which of the following pairs of career descriptions and work tasks is not correctly matched?

Multiple Choice
Industrial microbiologist
A. manipulate bacterial strains to be less pathogenic Medical microbiologist
B. identify the cause of a bladder infection at a hospital lab Public health microbiologist
C. track the incidence of AIDS in a population Agricultural microbiologist
D. identify bacterial causes of crop disease

Answer 1

The incorrectly matched pair is A. Industrial microbiologist with the task of manipulating bacterial strains to be less pathogenic as they often focus on industrial applications of microbes rather than pathogen manipulation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The pair of career descriptions and work tasks that is not correctly matched is A. Industrial microbiologist: manipulate bacterial strains to be less pathogenic. Industrial microbiologists primarily focus on using microbes for industrial processes, such as producing biochemicals, biofuels, pharmaceuticals, and enzymes. They are usually involved in the research and development of these processes, rather than manipulating bacterial strains for pathogenicity, which could be more relevant to medical microbiology or a research setting where understanding and altering pathogen virulence are of concern.

Answer 2

Answer: A. manipulate bacterial strains to be less pathogenic

Industrial microbiologist- manipulate bacterial strains to be less pathogenic is not correct matched.

Step-by-step explanation:

An industrial microbiologist supervises the microbial activities employed in the industry like cheese making in the food industry. Microbiology is the study of micro organisms which helps in tackling various diseases, making use of microbes in manufacture of various things.

A medical microbiologist perform the function of treating infections by discovering the causes of infectious diseases. A public health microbiologist studies a population to track the microbial diseases among that population and suggest measures to tackle it.

Agricultural microbiologist applies microbiology in agriculture by discovering microbial causes of crop diseases and finding appropriate solutions.
