Answer:
The correct answer is : prokaryotic organisms like E. coli and higher organisms share common ancestor.
Explanation:
E. Coli is a prokaryotic organism or bacteria. On the metabolic level these organisms share similar homology with the higher organism other than this these organisms also show same core functions with higher level organisms such as elephant.
These similarities suggest that the all the living organisms share a common ancestor. The french scientist Jacques Monod statement "Anything found to be true of E. Coli must also be true of elephants." is also based on this notion.
Groundwater is stored beneath the earth's surface in soil pore spaces and cracks and openings in rock formations.
Answer:
anaerobic organisms do not require the presence of oxygen to produce energy in form of ATP, while aerobic organisms require oxygen
Explanation:
Anaerobic organisms produce energy by glycolysis, which is a metabolic pathway that produces ATP by transforming glucose to lactate when oxygen (O2) is limited. Glycolysis produces two (2) molecules of ATP per glucose molecule. Moreover, when O2 is available, aerobic organisms produce ATP by cellular respiration, which includes glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. Cellular respiration is able to produce thirty-eight (38) molecules of ATP per glucose molecule, thereby being more efficient than glycolysis.
