Hi

Do prokaryotic organisms carry out  cellular respiration? If so, how?

The answer is yes as well as no, because some prokaryotes like Archeae and some bacteria donot use cellular respiration because they are anaerobic. The Archaea are also known as Methanogens that reduce Carbon di oxide from environment to Methane that is eventually oxidized to NADH (that is used as an energy source).

However, there are some bacteria that use cellular respiration as a source for the energy production.Cellular respiration is a process which occurs in the cells of higher living organisms as well as in cells of some small organisms like Bacteria. During process of cellular respiration in bacteria, glucose is broken down with the help of oxygen into water and Carbon di oxide. In the process of cellular respiration, bacteria just like humans goes through three stepsi.e Glycolysis, Kreb cycle and Electron transport chain that ultimately lead to the production of ATP (energy).

Hope it helps!

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer: The options are not given, here are the options.

A. One species is much better competitor than the other.

B. Periodic disturbances allow for coexistence.

C. Two species tended to use different resources.

D. The two species experienced interference competition and not exploitative competition.

The correct option C.

Two species tended to use different resources.

Explanation:

From Gause experiments on competing paramecium pairs, He found out that most times both species persisted and sometimes only one did because the two species uses different resources.

Organisms normally compete for limited resources in order to survive and one intend to compete well while other suffer. Both in the case of competing paramecium pairs, the pair use different resources which make the to persist and survive well. Once the resource of one finishes, the other one will persist because it is still surviving on its available resources.

How plastics are harmful for environment​
liberstina [14]
Plastic can lead to the destruction of habitats and wildlife. In the ocean, many sea animals and birds are dying from choking on these toxins. It can take hundreds or even thousands of years to break down the plastic, causing the environmental damage to be long lasting.
