Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Microbial biosynthetic processes require essential elements (such as carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, etc.), reduction (in order to build complex molecules from simpler ones), and energy (from sources such as sunlight, chemical reactions, or organic compounds). Therefore, all of the above options are necessary for microbial biosynthesis.
