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.

Speculate on how higher sea-surface temperatures (sst) might impact earth's greenhouse effect.
Aleks [24]

The SST or sea surface temperature refers to the temperature of the water close to the surface of the ocean. Sea surface temperature influences the behavior of the atmosphere of the Earth, so their initialization into the atmospheric model is essential. While SST plays a vital role for tropical cyclogenesis, it is also essential in predicting the formation of sea breezes and sea fog.  

The changes in SST reflects the overall trend of warming of the climatic system, and in turn, affects the climate and weather patterns globally. If the SST is too warm, the humidity upsurges and the greenhouse effect enhances.

Hmg-coa reductase is a highly regulated enzyme. identify three distinct mechanisms by which this enzyme is regulated. for each,
Rufina [12.5K]
Regulation of HMG-CoA reductase is termed as the rate of controlling enzyme of the mevalonate pathway which produces other isoprenoid and cholesterol.
The regulation of cholesterol is done by regulating the rate which determines step catalyzed by HGM -CoA reductase.
There is long-term and short-term regulation where HGM-CoA is inhibited by phosphorylation and catalyzed of proteins. There is regulated proteolysis of HGM-CoA reductase where degradation of HMG-CoA reductase by oxidized derivatives of cholesterol.
