A bacterium that you isolated from pond water appears to use light for energy. Based upon this information, you inoculate the or

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.

A batsman is unlikely to score a century in every cricket match. This is an example of
Licemer1 [7]

A batsman is unlikely to score a century in every cricket match. This is an example of "partial reinforcement".

<u>Option: C</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Unlike constant reinforcement, partial reinforcement is only strengthened during certain times or time ratios, rather than emphasizing the action every single time. This method of arranging reinforcement is also called intermittent reinforcement after certain number of correct answers or certain interval of time. Thus here a batsman donot plan intentionally to make a century in every cricket match, but it goes random. Although when they need to score high on pressure, they force themselves to stretch as much possible which is not general.
