Answer:
Oxidize organic compounds AND use organic compounds as terminal electron acceptors. (Ans. E)
Explanation:
Anaerobes are the organism that does not require oxygen for their growth. The anaerobes are subdivided into three main classes:
1) Obligate anaerobes: These organisms use anaerobic metabolism to grow and killed in the presence of oxygen. Obligate anaerobe examples are Clostridium and Propionibacterium.
2) Facultative anaerobes: These organisms prefer to grow using aerobic metabolism processes and switch to anaerobic metabolism in the absence of oxygen. An example of facultative anaerobic bacteria is Lactobacillus.
3) Aerotolerent anaerobes: These organisms use anaerobic metabolism to grow and can survive in both conditions (oxygen and oxygen-free environment).
Anaerobic bacteria, oxidize organic compounds rather than oxygen & use organic compounds as terminal electron acceptors. Anaerobic bacteria release hydrogen sulfide gas as they decompose algae in the water. This process is also known as Anaerobic Respiration, in which formation of ATP without oxygen.
Answer:
This question lacks options, the options are:
a) Negative primary production
b) Net primary production
c) Secondary production
d) Negative secondary production
e) Positive primary production
The correct answer is b.
The total amount of chemical energy produced by autotrophs, such as plants and phytoplankton, is called gross primary production. The energy that remains after plants use some of the gross primary production to fuel their own metabolism is known as <u>net primary production</u>.
Explanation:
Net Primary Production (NPP) is the value that results from the difference between gross production and respiration of the primary producers themselves. It manifests as growth and / or reproduction. It represents the matter and energy available for the next trophic level, that is, the net primary production is what is left after subtracting the energy that plants use for their metabolism or maintenance (such as breathing, tissue construction and reproduction).
Answer:
B) binding of a molecule to a binding site affects the binding properties of another site on the protein.
Explanation:
In an allosteric interaction between a protein and a ligand, the ligand binds to a site in the protein. As a result, there is a change in the properties of other active sites on the protein. These active-site changes may or may not allow the protein to bind to other molecules. There is a change in the protein that affects the affinity of the active site for other molecules. The affinity on the active site increases if the protein binds to an activator and decreases if the protein binds to an inhibitor molecule.
Explanation:
Evolution involves changing the hereditary characteristics of a population through generations. These traits are the expression of genes that are passed on to offspring during reproduction.
