A defined culture medium is designed to meet the needs of a particular type of organism, suppling all of the nutrients the organism needs, including essential biochemicals that the cell cannot synthesize. Based on the following recipe, this defined medium would best support the growth of certain members of what group?

Chemoorganotroph

Explanation:

In biology, a defined culture medium is designed to meet the needs of a particular type of organism, supplying all of the nutrients the organism needs, including essential biochemicals that the cell cannot synthesize.

Chemoorganotrophs use organic compounds as both metabolic energy and carbon sources for growth and development. Examples are bacteria, fungi, protist, animals etc.

Chemoheterotroph

Explanation:

Here is the complete question:

A defined culture medium must supply all of the nutrients an organism needs, including essential biochemicals that the cell cannot synthesize. Based on the following recipe, this defined medium could support the growth of certain members of what group? Recipe: 7 g of K2HPO4; 2 g of KH2PO4; 1g of (NH4)2SO4; 0.1g of MgSO4; 0.02g of CaCl2; 10g of glucose; trace elements mix; 1000mL of distilled water; adjust to pH 7.

Chemoorganotroph is a type of heterotroph organisms which make use of organic carbon as an electron donor as well as a carbon source. They depend on autotroph organisms.

Fungi is an example of chemoorganotroph organism.

chemoheterotroph: It can also be called "chemoorganoheterotrophs" or "chemoorganotroph" that utilize reduced organic compounds made by autotrophs as sources of energy, electron and carbon.

Chemoheterotroph organisms derive their energy from the oxidation and reduction (redox) of organic compounds.

Autotrophs are organisms that produces their own food through the process of photosynthesis. They are referred to as primary producer.

Heterotrophs are secondary producers because they depend on other organisms.
