A bacterial species that can grow when supplied an energy source and carbon source consisting of H2 and starch, respectively, and nitrate as a terminal electron acceptor, would correctly be considered: A. a hydrogenotroph B. a lithotroph C. anaerobic respiration D. two of A, B, C are correct E. A, B, and C are all correct

Respuesta :

Answer: E. A, B, and C are all correct

Explanation:

The hydrogenotrophs are the organisms that can metabolize the molecular hydrogen into a source of energy. The lithotrophs are the organisms which use the inorganic substances such as carbon dioxide as their source of electron. The anaerobes are the organisms which use nitrate and sulphates rather than the molecular oxygen as a terminal electron acceptor.
