Answer:
The correct answer is D. is a facultative anaerobe
Explanation:
A facultative anaerobe is the organisms that can live in the absence of oxygen but prefer to utilize the oxygen when oxygen is present in the environment.
An anaerobic organism requires more amount of energy sources like carbohydrates because they use the fermentation process to make energy and this process results in the formation of less energy than aerobic respiration.
All the bacteria of family Enterobacteriaceae that live in the intestine are facultative anaerobes. Therefore facultative anaerobe can thrive in both the presence and absence of oxygen so the correct answer is D. is a facultative anaerobe.
Answer:
Lipids are hydrocarbon molecules that make up the structure of living beings. Few examples are <u>fats, oils and waxes</u>. Steroids are also a class of lipids but they are not structurally related to other lipids but do share some common properties with them. They are <em>insoluble in water and are hydrophobic</em>( water-repelling).
Explanation:
Lipids are insoluble in water as they are <em>non-polar</em> but soluble in non polar solvents (<em>chloroform</em>). Fat soluble vitamins like <u>A,D,E,K and steroids</u> have a different structure composed of fused four rings.
The most common example of steroid is cholesterol. Cholesterol acts as a precursor for many hormones and other signalling molecules.
