Modes of Nutrition

It is a biological process of providing or obtaining food that is necessary for growth and health. It includes many physiological processes - absorption, ingestion, assimilation, catabolism, excretion, etc. In biology, the science that deals with nutrition's physiological and chemical processes are called "nutritional science."

Question

a. Can harvest its own energy from sunlight.

b. Can harvest its own energy from inorganic chemicals.

c. Grows well on minimal media.

d. Requires nutritional supplements to grow on minimal media.

In a gene mapping experiment, DNA from a prototrophic E. coli strain is transformed into an E. coli strain mutant (auxotrophic) for the genes gal, pro, and lac. Some resulting transformants were found to be auxotrophic only for pro, and some only for gal, but no lac- only auxotrophs were observed. Based upon these results, which gene is in the middle? a. gal b. lac c. pro d. cannot be determined c. the genes are not on the same chromosome
