A facultative anaerobe.

Explanation:

Anaerobes are organisms which can produce energy via the process of fermentation in the absence of oxygen. The anaerobes can be classified as facultative anaerobes and obligate anaerobes.

Facultative anaerobes are those which can carry out respiration in presence of oxygen but can choose to follow the fermentation pathway if oxygen is absent. Fermentation also uses glucose.

Aerobic respiration produces 32 molecules of ATP from one  molecules of glucose while fermentation produces only 2 molecules of ATP . Thus when the organism switches to fermentation pathway it utilizes more and more glucose to reach its energy demands.

Considering all the above points we can conclude that observations indicate that the organism is a facultative anaerobe.

What happens at each step of a dichotomous key?<br><br> PLEASE HELP ME!
Yuki888 [10]

Oh I know this, It narrows down its characteristics here is an example:

The first step in the key will be organized the following way:

1. a. wings covered by an exoskeleton

b. wings not covered by an exoskeleton

Next, the statements need to lead the observer to the next step to narrow the identification further:

1. a. wings covered by an exoskeleton go to step 2

b. wings not covered by an exoskeleton .go to step 3

Step 2 needs to consist of a pair of statements that will allow for the identification of the ladybug and the grasshopper:

2. a. body has a round shape .ladybug

b<span>. body has an elongated shape .grasshopper</span>
