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.

Which situation describes parasitism?
skad [1K]

Answer:

D. Ticks live on and drink blood from a cow.

This is an example of parasitism, where the ticks (parasite) are living off of the blood of the cow, the host animal.

Explanation:

Parasitism is a relationship between organisms. In this relationship, one organism (parasite) lives on or in another organism (host) and gains benefits from the host, causing it some harm.

Parasites are classified as ectoparasites, which live on the body surface of the host (ticks, fleas, leeches, and lice) and endoparasites, which live in the body of the host. Endoparasites are either intercellular, which live inside the host’s body (round worms, tapeworms) or intracellular, which live inside the cells in the host’s body (bacteria or viruses).

Parasites help to control dominant species and has a role in evolution by transferring genetic material between species.

nevsk [136]

Answer:

Option a. is correct

Explanation:

A mutation refers to a change in our DNA sequence which causes it to break down. It occurs due to the following reasons:

1. Due to mistakes when the DNA is copied

2. Due to environmental factors such as UV light, smoking.

3. Exposure to specific chemicals or radiation

The mechanism for reactive oxygen species to cause mutation is that bases are oxidized to a variety of different products which might pair with a different base than the original base would have.
