An organism is discovered that thrives in both the presence and absence of oxygen. Interestingly, as oxygen is removed from the

organism's environment, the rate of sugar consumption increases while the growth rate decreases. What do these observations suggest about the likely identity of this organism?

Answer:

It is a facultative anaerobic organism.

Explanation:

This organism makes ATP (energy provider molecule) by aerobic respiration in presence of oxygen, but when oxygen is removed it is capable of switching to fermentation (sugar consumption increases and growth rate decreases).

This happens because fermentation is much less effective at producing ATP and therefore there is not enough energy for growth.

This organisms are called facultative anaerobic.

Organisms with this type of metabolism include bacteria like Escherichia coli and Salmonella or yeast like Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

A. diploid and C. somatic

Explanation:

Humans are diploid organisms and have 23 pair of chromosomes i.e. in total humans have 46 chromosomes.

There are 2 types of cells in humans (1) somatic cells and (2) germ cells.

Somatic cells are normal body cells which are diploid and have all 23 pairs of chromosomes. But, germ cells are special type of cells which are produced by gonads (sex organs). Germ cells are also known as gametes. In females, ovary is the sex organ which produces germ cells named as egg cells while in males testes is the sex organ which produces germ cells named as sperms. Germ cells (egg and sperm) are haploid cells which fuse to form a zygote which is the first cell of next generation. The process of fusion of egg and sperm is known as fertilization which is responsible for restoring diploidy in the progeny which receives half the genetic material from female parent and half the genetic material from male parent.

This example reflects the food chain.
<span>The food chain describes relationships among the organisms by showing how the organisms are related to each other by the food they eat. The food chain contains levels and each of them presents a different trophic level (position of the organism in that chain). There is reliable energy transfer through each stage of the chain. Not all the energy at one stage is absorbed by the organism at the next stage but, the amount of energy from one stage to another decreases.</span>
