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.

kolezko [41]

Answer:

the sun shines on earth, which through photosynthesis in a humble blade of grass turns into food and energy for the grass. now a small mouse hops along, stomach growling. it eats our blade of grass now itself getting energy. the naive, full mouse hops through the field before it squeaks in horror. a snake slinks towards it. the mouse is too slow. and the mouse breathes his last breath. the snake swallows it whole. stomach content now digesting its new energy sleeps. before it has the chance to react a hawk snatches it up in her claws. killing it she eats. this snake is poisonous, the next time our hawk flies, she stumbles, then falls. vanquished by poison her lifeless body lies in the dirt. her nutrients go into the soil, thanks to decomposers like worms. her nutrients help new grass blades grow, and the cycle continues.

Enzymes in the saliva begins the digestion of which nutrient ?​
nasty-shy [4]
Your upper digestive tract and your esophagus also contain smaller clusters of salivary glands. Saliva contains special enzymes that help digest the starches in your food. An enzyme called amylase breaks down starches (complex carbohydrates) into sugars, which your body can more easily absorb.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

No, this not the accurate statement.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

As in article in the local paper, a new copper line is found in New Mexico. And all that is needed to identify a substance is the mass and the volume of the substance. But this is not the truth because to identify a substance we need to know about is an atomic number, atomic mass etc so that we can define it in periodic tables.
