When culturing a chemoorganoheterophic bacterium, what outcome is LEAST likely to occur if ammonia and phosphate are provided at

equal concentrations?
Biology

inna [77]3 years ago
5 0

Options:

A) Cells require much less P to grow than N, so extra P will be used for ATP synthesis and result in a faster growth rate.

B) Cells will never consume all of the phosphate, because N is needed in higher quantities than P.

C) The final biomass of cells will be no different than if only 50% of the phosphate was provided.

D) The bacteria will import all of the ammonia to use for biosynthetic pathways.

Answer:A) Cells require much less P to grow than N, so extra P will be used for ATP synthesis and result in a faster growth rate.

Explanation: Chemoorganoheterophic Bacteria are bacteria which requires the supply of organic nutrients of Carbon and metabolic energy. If Ammonia and potassium are provided at equal amount or concentration, the least likely occurrence will be that

Cells require much less P(potassium) to grow than N(Nitrogen), so extra P(potassium) will be used for ATP synthesis and result in a faster growth rate. This is so because Chemoorganoheterophic Bacteria requires organic supply of nutrients in the form of Carbon and metabolic energy.

How can independent assortment help explain genetic diversity in humans? How many pairs of chromosomes are in a human diploid ce
dybincka [34]
Independent assortment states that all alleles are inherited independently of other alleles. This helps diversity because it helps to further the randomization of traits. If traits were always inherited together, as a "package deal", there would naturally be less diversity than the situation that exists. For example, one may never see a person with blue eyes and brown hair if the alleles for the two traits, hair and eye color, were inherited together. However, it is worth noting that there is "genetic linkage", meaning full or partial violation of independent assortment among certain trait groups. 

There are 46 chromosome in a normal human diploid cell, 23 inherited from the mother's egg and 23 inherited from the father's sperm.
