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.

loris [4]

The term used for the condition, in which the uptake of nutrients from the small intestine is impaired is malabsorption.

The malabsorption is a condition, in which the small intestine walls become unable to uptake the nutrients in the blood. This condition can be caused by many different reasons, which affect the wall of the intestine. These conditions include infections, trauma, celiac disease, and surgery. Some diseases such as Crohn's disease, pancreatitis (chronic), or cystic fibrosis is also responsible for the malabsorption.

BARSIC [14]

Correct answer: D). Tides

The tidal force is generated by the combination of gravitational attraction between the earth, moon and the sun and the rotation of Earth-sun and the earth-moon system. The tides rise and fall on the ocean surfaces. The moon has a large effect on the generation of the tides than the Sun.

Thus, the correct answer would be option D.
