The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

  • there was no sulfur compound added to the medium, that could be used as an electron donor.
  • no oxygen was added to the medium so the organism died.
  • there is some inhibitory chemical that is preventing the growth of the bacterium.
  • you were using the wrong type of sunlight as the energy source for the bacterium.

Answer:

There was no sulfur compound added to the medium, that could be used as an electron donor.

Explanation:

In the given question, the bacteria which are found in the pond uses light energy to use carbon dioxide and form the glucose molecule. These bacteria are known as phototrophic bacteria.

The process of photosynthesis requires an electron donor and an electron acceptor to use molecule.

The organism when provided the light and carbon dioxide artificially in a culture, the bacteria were not able to grow. The reason for this could be accounted as that there was no electron donor found in the media like sulfur which could donate the electron during the chain reaction.

Thus, the selected option is correct.

AveGali [126]
The process of photosynthesis is commonly written as: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2. This means that the reactants, six carbon dioxide molecules and six water molecules, are converted by light energy captured by chlorophyll (implied by the arrow) into a sugar molecule and six oxygen molecules, the products.

Why does it benefit an imperial shrimp to travel on a sea cucumber?
olasank [31]

Answer:

the imperial shrimp and the sea cucumber have what's referred to as a one sided symbiotic relationship. that's a type of relationship where there's two organisms, but only one of those organisms benefit. the other organism isn't helped, but it isn't hurt, either.

<u>an imperial shrimp benefits from its relationship with the sea cucumber because the shrimp, when hungry, can get a lift on his lil friend the sea cucumber and is dragged around the ocean to where there's food for shrimp to eat :)</u>
