Base your answer to the question on the graph and on your knowledge of biology. The graph illustrates a single species of bacteria grown at various pH levels. Which statement is supported by data from this graph?

• All species of bacteria can grow well at pH 7.

• This type of bacterium would grow well at pH 7.5.

• This type of bacterium would grow well at pH 2.

• Other types of bacteria can grow well at pH 4.

Answer explanation

This graph is for one and only one species of bacteria. The graph shows the most growth at a pH of 8 and good growth at a pH of 7. Thus, it is reasonable that, at a pH of 7.5, this type of bacteria would grow well.

Standard error in Biology is primarily used to:

• Measure the accuracy of the sample mean as an estimate of the population mean + accuracy

• Calculate the mean of a dataset

• Determine the range of data points

• Establish causation between two variables
