The small cell extensions that beat to create an up-ward current are called microvilli.

<h3>What are microvilli?</h3>

Microvilli are small extensions which are found on the surface of the alveoli of the lungs.

The microvilli play an important role in the lungs as the help to remove particles and mucus that may obstruct the lungs as a result of the upward current they create in the lungs from their beating motion.

Therefore, the paralyzed small cell extensions that beat to create an up-ward current are called microvilli.

Answer:

A. The bacteria are breaking down sugars in the absence of oxygen.

Explanation:

Bacteria are microscopic single-celled organims. These organisms may produce their own source of chemical energy, or consume and absorb chemical energy made by producers.

They break down chemical energy like glucose through lactic acid fermentation in their cytoplasm, without the presence of oxygen.

In Glycolysis:

2 molecules of ATP are used to break up glucose into 2 molecules of pyruvate, 4 ATP and 2 electron carrying NADH molecules. Since 2 ATP are used, a net 2ATP are produced by this process.

Then, pyruvate is converted to lactic acid, producing 2 NAD+, used as electron carriers.
