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.

Answer:

A general decrease in transcriptional activation

Explanation:

When acetyl groups are added to histone proteins by acetyltransferase enzymes, the 30-nm chromatin fiber will not be formed because the proteins are prevented from doing so. This further destabilizes the chromatin structure and allows the occurrence of transcription. However, raising the cells to  40°C does not allow the acetyltransferase enzyme to function and hence the acetyl group will be hindered from being added to the histone protein which is the main target of the enzymes. Thus, transcription activation will be blocked because the chromatin and nucleosomes would remain stabilized.
