Answer:

The answer is A - The populations will not be able to interbreed because they are different species and different species cannot interbreed

Explanation:

The population of birds become reproductively isolated because they are different species and different species are unable to interbreed. This is as a result of barriers which are called mechanisms of reproductive isolation which involves mechanisms, behaviors and processes that are critical for speciation. In reproductive isolation the different species are able to live in the same are but their properties and characteristics do not allow them interbreed to produce healthy and sterile offspring.

Answer:

Oxidize organic compounds AND use organic compounds as terminal electron acceptors. (Ans. E)

Explanation:

Anaerobes are the organism that does not require oxygen for their growth. The anaerobes are subdivided into three main classes:

1) Obligate anaerobes: These organisms use anaerobic metabolism to grow and killed in the presence of oxygen. Obligate anaerobe examples are Clostridium and Propionibacterium.

2) Facultative anaerobes: These organisms prefer to grow using aerobic metabolism processes and switch to anaerobic metabolism in the absence of oxygen. An example of facultative anaerobic bacteria is Lactobacillus.

3) Aerotolerent anaerobes: These organisms use anaerobic metabolism to grow and can survive in both conditions (oxygen and oxygen-free environment).

Anaerobic bacteria, oxidize organic compounds rather than oxygen & use organic compounds as terminal electron acceptors. Anaerobic bacteria release hydrogen sulfide gas as they decompose algae in the water. This process is also known as Anaerobic Respiration, in which formation of ATP without oxygen.
