H₂S is absorbed from the environment by bacteria, algae, and plants; however, this molecule is quickly reduced by organisms to form SO₄^-.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

H₂S represents the chemical formula for hydrogen sulfide (H2S), which is indeed absorbed by bacteria, algae, and plants, but it is not directly reduced to form SO₄^-, which represents the chemical formula for sulfur dioxide (SO2). The reduction and oxidation processes in biological systems involving sulfur compounds are more complex and do not directly convert H2S to SO2.
