Multiple Choice

Please use the following information to answer the question(s) below.
Theodor W. Engelmann illuminated a filament of algae with light that passed through a prism, thus exposing different segments of algae to different wavelengths of light.

-What did Engelmann conclude about the congregation of bacteria in the red and blue areas?

• A) Bacteria congregated in these areas due to a local increase in temperature generated by illumination by red and blue light.
• B) Bacteria released excess carbon dioxide in these areas.
• C) Bacteria congregated in these areas because they are attracted to red and blue light.
• D) Bacteria congregated in these areas because they were the areas where the most oxygen was released by the algae.
• E) Bacteria congregated in these areas because green, yellow, and orange light inhibits bacterial metabolism.
