Important information
Read this information sheet before you start working.
When answering multiple choice questions one or more CAPITAL LETTERS should be
written into the empty boxes. (Not numbers.) These are the codes for the right answer(s).
Make sure that your letters are unambiguous, because uncertain answers will not be accepted.
In case of correction you are asked TO CROSS OUT the wrong letter clearly and TO WRITE
THE CODE FOR THE RIGHT ONE BESIDE IT.
When answering open-ended questions technical terms, short answers of 1-or-2 words, a
sentence or several sentences should be created. Take care of GRAMMATICAL
CORRECTNESS. Grammatically ambiguous or unintelligible answers (e.g. uncertain subject
in a sentence) will not be accepted even if the right answer is included.

The effects of four (P, O, R and S) antibiotics against five strains of bacteria (1.-5.) have been
investigated. During the procedure antibiotics were put on the culture media as horizontal
lines in 4 different Petri dishes (plates). All the five strains of bacteria were streaked out at
right angles to the antibiotic on each medium. The cultures were kept (incubated) at 36 oC for
3 days. Results are shown on the figure below. Dark stripe represents the effectiveness of the
antibiotics, white stripes refer to places where bacteria kept on growing.

X. B Air pollution
A small sheet of sulphur is ignited and put in a gas-collecting cylinder. The cylinder is
covered with a sheet of glass. Wait until the sulphur burns completely, then fill the cylinder
with 20-30 cm3 of water. After this (still covered!), shake the cylinder heavily to mix water
and gas.
Describe the following air-polluting processes: depletion (thinning) of the ozone layer, effect
of the traffic, reasons for the increasing greenhouse effect. You are allowed to construct this
