Answer:

Obligate anaerobes. (Ans. D)

Explanation:

Anaerobes: They are micro-organisms that do not require energy oxygen for metabolism. They can only survive in an environment that lacks oxygen.

Obligate anaerobes are bacteria typically living in various places naturally. Many of obligate anaerobes living in the human body, in places such as the mouth and gastrointestinal tract (most of the obligate anaerobes present their) where oxygen level present in very low concentration.

Obligate anaerobes do not contain several enzymes needed to detoxifying oxygen present in the cell. Oxygen produces several byproducts in the presence of water such as hydrogen peroxide, it is a week acid and affects no. of enzymes present in anaerobic cells. In a high level of oxygen anaerobic cells become more acidic and not able to function.

So that's why they are found in no oxygen or low oxygen environment like the gastrointestinal tract.

What are the 4 differences between eukaryotic/ prokaryotic
Natasha_Volkova [10]
Eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles, including a nucleus. Eukaryotes can be single-celled or multi-celled, such as you, me, plants, fungi, and insects. Bacteria are an example of prokaryotes. Prokaryotic cells do not contain a nucleus or any other membrane-bound organelle. the biggest distinction between them is that eukaryotic cells have a distinct nucleus containing the cell's genetic material, while prokaryotic cells don't have a nucleus and have free-floating genetic material instead.

if a bunny eats grass that has 100 units of energy and the bunny get 10% how much is passed on to the next animal .​
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

This is an excellent source!

Example- The producer receives its energy from the sun, which is the ultimate source of energy. Meaning all the energy we use comes from the sun. Like I said earlier, the energy from the corn moves into the mouse. Not all the energy that the corn has is able to be transferred into the mouse, only about 10% of the available energy is transferred to each trophic level. A trophic level is the position an animal occupies in a food chain. And again only about 10% of energy is transferred from the mouse to the owl.

10%
