Answer:

The first thing to look at would be type of symmetry the organism exhibits. If it is asymmetrical then it would be a sponge and the discovery could stop right there. If not, other characteristics need to be investigated.

Knowing the type of body cavity this organism has would be helpful.

It would also be beneficial to know what type of skeleton (endo or exo) this organism has and what its appendages look like.

Finally, the type of digestive tract and the presence or absence of a head would help to determine what this creature is.

djyliett [7]

Answer:

As the cells run out of oxygen they switch to anaerobic respiration, which allows the cell to make small amounts of ATP in the absence of oxygen.

Explanation:

The fatigue in the muscle is due to lactic acid fermentation which occurs during vigorous muscular activity when blood is unable to supply enough oxygen to muscles. The lactic acid accumulates in the muscle causing pain and muscle cramps.

Glucose    →       Lactic acid   +  2ATP

Rashid [163]
The answer to your question is the first choice or choice A. Bacteria is a decomposer. That would be the only valid choice. If the question didn't say decomposer then all of these choices would be correct, but because it only says decomposers, bacteria would be the correct choice.
