Expert Solution

Step 1

Nutrition is the intake of food and energy. Energy is necessary for growth, reproduction, and upkeep. Carbon, nitrogen, water, phosphorus, iron, and various inorganic salts are the primary sources of nutrition in bacteria. According to the carbon source and the energy source, the dietary needs of bacteria may be divided into several categories. Energy may be produced by certain bacteria from inorganic sources, but it can also be obtained by some bacteria by consuming already-formed organic molecules. Bacterial nutrition is mostly autotrophic and heterotrophic.
