Answer: c) Some organisms rely on energy captured from inorganic compounds to drive basic biological processes.
Explanation:
Deep-sea hydrothermal vents are hot spots of geothermal water. The organisms living in deep-sea vents cannot obtain energy from sunlight. They are dependent on chemosynthesis, which involves the utilization of inorganic substances to produce organic substances, which allows their survival and act as a source of energy. In the given situation, bacteria present on the surface of mussels are capable of chemosynthesis also the mussels are dependent upon inorganic hydrogen in seawater. Thus chemosynthesis supports the survival of organisms living in the deep sea vents.
The answer is B. they embody the idea of descent with modification.
Answer is A because the habitat’s resources are depleting
Answer:
The correct answer is C in presence of oxygen production of acetyl CoA,TCA cycle and electron transport chain occur in a proper order.Whether in absence of oxygen lactic acid fermentation or alcoholic fermentation occurs.
Explanation:
Aerobic respiration occur in presence of oxygen which involves glycolysis,TCA cycle and electron transport chain.Aerobic respiration result in the catabolism of glucose to generate CO2,H2O and ATP.
But in absence of oxygen or during anaerobic condition pyruvic acid is converted to either lactic acid by pyruvate dehydrogenase or to ethanol through alcoholic fermentation.
