B) Cellular respiration
C) Fermentation
D) Glycolysis

Answer 1

The new bacterial cell likely uses photosynthesis to produce its own food.

Step-by-step explanation:

The new bacterial cell that is able to grow without food as long as sunlight is available likely uses photosynthesis to produce its own food. Photosynthetic bacteria use the energy of the sun to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. This glucose serves as the 'food' source for the bacteria.
