What is the difference between aerobes and facultative aerobes?
both live n the presence of oxygen but facultative require oxygen at low concentrating
What is the opposite of Anaerobic?
anaerobic means without the presence of oxygen. the opposite is aerobic, which means with the presence of oxygen
How do obligate aerobes and obligate anaerobes differ?
Answerobligate aerobes require oxygen by using cellular respiration or fermentation in order to survive. obligate anaerobes do not require it and will die if they are exposed to oxygen.
What are strict aerobes?
Is an organism that does not need oxygen to survive and grow - it would possibly die with the introduction of oxygen for example: Clostridium Perfringens. Alex
What is a scientific name for obligate aerobes?
If they are obligate aerobes that means they require 02 to survive.

What is the opposite of Anaerobic?
anaerobic means without the presence of oxygen. the opposite is aerobic, which means with the presence of oxygen
What is the difference between obligate aerobes obligate anaerobes?
aerobes are those which require free molecular oxygen about 21% in air while facultative anaerobes can survive in both conditions presence and absence of oxygen
Explain the toxic effect of oxygen on strict anaerobes?
Strict anaerobic organisms die in the presence of oxygen because the presence of oxygen causes them to create superoxide. Superoxide is toxic and is dismantled in aerobes and facultative anaerobes by the presence of superoxide dismutase. However, strict anaerobes do not have this enzyme, leaving the cell with an accumulation of superoxide which will kill the organism.
How do obligate aerobes and obligate anaerobes differ?
Answerobligate aerobes require oxygen by using cellular respiration or fermentation in order to survive. obligate anaerobes do not require it and will die if they are exposed to oxygen.
Are mammals aerobic organisms?
Yes. An aerobic organism is an organism that can grow and survive in the presence of oxygen. Mammals need oxygen to have cellular respiration, so they are obligate aerobes.
What are strict aerobes?

What is the name given to organisms that require oxygen to survive?
obligate aerobes.
What do aerobes need?
all it needs is oxygen
What is a scientific name for obligate aerobes?
If they are obligate aerobes that means they require 02 to survive.
Account for the inability of aerobes to grow in the absence of o2?
Aerobes cannot grow in the absence of O2 molecules. Aerobes need oxygen in order to survive and if they do not have it they cannot survive.
Bacteria that live in places with a supply of oxygen are?
it is AEROBES
