An established bacterial community is exposed to a dark environment for several days. Bacteria that require light to reproduce will show _________ compared to bacteria that do not require light to reproduce. (1 point) Responses more growth more growth lack of growth lack of growth the same amount of growth the same amount of growth uncontrollable growth
The correct answer is "lack of growth". Bacteria that require light to reproduce, such as photosynthetic bacteria, rely on light as an energy source for their metabolic processes, including reproduction. In a dark environment, they will not be able to carry out photosynthesis and will therefore experience a lack of growth.
