Best Answer

The bacterium can produce energy for growth by fermentation or respiration. It can respire aerobically using O2 as a final electron acceptor, or it can respire under anaerobic conditions, using NO3 or fumarate as a terminal electron acceptor. E. coli can use glucose or lactose as a sole carbon source for growth, with the metabolic ability to transform the sugar into all the necessary amino acids, vitamins and nucleotides that make up cells.

How do anaerobic bacteria differ from anaerobic bacteria?

aerobic bacteria use oxygen based respiration, anaerobic bacteria use either nonoxygen based respiration (e.g. nitrogen, sulfur) or fermentation.

What is the break down of food without the use of oxygen called?

Anerobic bacteria can do it - sometimes you see a canned good that is bulged on both ends - that is a can with anerobic bacteria at work inside, and should be discarded.

Does anaerobic cellular fermentation use the same final electron acceptors as aerobic respiration?

No, because the electron acceptor is what cates the electrons as the leave the electron transport chain, which is oxygen in aerobic respiration. Since aerobic respiration uses oxygen, and anaerobic fermentation is abest of oxygen, anaerobic fermentation cannot possibly use oxygen as respiration does.


Which of the following respiration pathways is this bacteria most likely to use?

anaerobic respiration


When do cells use fermentation?

fermentation occurs in the absence of oxygen (anaerobic respiration). in muscle cells, when the blood supply is inadequate, anaerobic respiration takes place and the glucose is converted into lactic acid in the absence of oxygen :)


Where in your body can you use anaerobic respiration?

In your muscle cells. In your case, the only fermentation your cells are going through is lactic acid fermentation (and not alcohol fermentation). Anaerobic respiration occurs in the absence of oxygen. If there is oxygen present, then your cells will go through aerobic respiration normally. However, there are times when your cells lack oxygen, as in intense exercise. When cells can do both aerobic and anaerobic respiration, it is called facultative respiration.


What do the cells use for energy when there is no oxygen for the cells?

Cells use anaerobic respiration when there is no oxygen available.


Yeasts do a kind of anaerobic respiration called?

Yeast use fermentation (alcoholic fermentation). This produces carbon dioxide, alcohol, and some energy.


What is a process by which cells get energy from food without using oxygen?

They use energy from carbon -di-oxide & it is known as anaerobic respiration.It occurs in the absence of oxygen & release 2 molecules of ATP from one glucose molecule. It also produces alcohol & lactic acid
