Answer:

The correct answer is: C. They will have a lower energy efficiency.

Explanation:

Similar to aerobic cellular respiration, <em>anaerobic cellular respiration </em>uses electrons taken from a fuel molecule to drive ATP production through an <em>electron transport chain</em>. Bacteria and archaea are prokaryotes that survive in low-oxygen conditions and use anaerobic respiration to break down energy.

Methanogens, for example, can employ carbon dioxide as a terminal electron acceptor and produce methane as a by-product. Methanogens may be found in soil as well as in the digestive tracts of ruminants. Fermentation is another anaerobic (non-oxygen-requiring) process for breaking down glucose that is used by a variety of species, including bacteria.

However, <u>the </u><u>glucose breakdown performed by anaerobic respiration isn't complete</u><u> and thus, the energy released is </u><u>19 times less</u><u> than aerobic respiration for the same amount of glucose</u>.

What connects the proximal and distal convoluted tubules?
Katena32 [7]
I believe that the loop of Henle is the hairpin structure that connects the proximal and distal convoluted tubules. The loop of Henle is composed of the ascending and the descending limb. The descending loop of Henle connects the proximal convoluted tube with the ascending limb of the loop of Henle, while the ascending loop of Henle connects the descending limb of the loop of Henle with the distal convoluted tubule.
