Bacteria that require light to reproduce, also known as photosynthetic bacteria, rely on light energy to carry out the process of photosynthesis, which is necessary for their growth and reproduction. When exposed to a dark environment, these bacteria will be unable to perform photosynthesis and will therefore experience a lack of growth. On the other hand, bacteria that do not require light to reproduce, such as non-photosynthetic bacteria, are not dependent on light for their growth and will not be significantly affected by the absence of light in their environment.
Bacteria that require light to reproduce will show a lack of growth compared to bacteria that do not require light to reproduce.
Explanation: Bacteria that require light to reproduce are known as photosynthetic bacteria. They rely on light energy to carry out photosynthesis, which is their primary source of energy for growth and reproduction. In a dark environment, without access to light, these bacteria will not be able to perform photosynthesis and thus will not have the energy needed to grow and reproduce. On the other hand, bacteria that do not rely on light for reproduction, such as heterotrophic bacteria, can still obtain energy from other sources like organic compounds or chemicals present in their environment. Therefore, they may continue to grow and reproduce to some extent even in the absence of light.
