Answer:
Fermentation and cellular respiration are alike in that they both begin with a series of reactions known as glycolysis, which breaks glucose molecules into smaller pyruvate molecules. They are also similar in that during both processes, ATP is produced for the cell to use.

Does that help? :)
Answer:
The bone weights more as the bone's thickness is wider for a compacter bone.
Explanation:
Compact, sometimes called cortical bone, thick bone with firm organic soil and inorganic salt in the ossic matrix leaving only narrow gaps in which the osteocytes or bone cells are present. The bone is sometimes called the cortical bone.
True, this is because Darwin realised that organisms best suited to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing on their characters to their offsprings.
Answer:
2, 4 and 5
Explanation:
The wall of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (a typical Mycobacterium) has a high lipid content, hence it does not respond to gram staining. Instead, acid-fast staining or Ziehl-Neelsen stain is used in its identification.
The cell wall of Mycobacterium species is thicker in comparison with other bacteria in the sense that it is hydrophobic, waxy and contains a unique acidic wax, known as mycolic acid.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis is an obligate aerobe, which means it is strictly dependent on oxygen. It thrives (multiplies) best under this condition.
Some species of Mycobacterium ate saprophytic i.e. they live on dead organic matter while some are obligate parasites that live on tissues e.g M.tubercosis and M.leprae causes tuberculosis and leprosy in humans respectively.
