Answer:

Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

I will put the enzymes of the citric acid cycle in this organism so that in the absence of sunlight, it also produces energy to grow quickly. Citric acid cycle is a series of chemical reactions which release stored energy through the oxidation of acetyl-CoA derived from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. This cycle is also called Krebs cycle so incorporation of this cycle is good for the organism.
