Q

Prototrophs and auxotrophs need C, energy, and minerals for growth. True or False and which can make its own nutrients?

A

True they both need the nutrients to grow but prototrophs can produce the nutrients needed to grow, while auxotrophs can’t.

Q

Anabolism

A

Anabolism is the biosynthesis of complex molecules from low molecular weight (simple compounds) precursors involving reductive reactions. Anabolic pathways require input of high energy.
(Involve creation of bonds)
