Does yeast need oxygen specifically o2 to survive if not what kind of oxygen or compound molecule etc does it need to survive?

Yeast species either require oxygen for aerobic cellular respiration (obligate aerobes) or are anaerobic, but also have aerobic methods of energy production (facultative anaerobes). Unlike bacteria, there are no known yeast species that grow only anaerobically (obligate anaerobes). Yeasts grow best in a neutral or slightly acidic pH environment. (Wikipedia:Yeast)


Why can some bacteria live in volcanic vents?

Biota that live in extreme environments are known as extremophiles. They have evolved to like these conditions. Black Smokers in the ocean floor, are surrounded by such organisms - in that case, of ones that can survive without light and oxygen.


Why do we have to inhale oxygen to survive?

oxygen is required in a process known as aerobic respiration. This is where an organism breaks down sugar step by step using oxygen to release energy which is used elsewhere in the organism.

What is the importance of BOD in water quality management?

BOD is otherwise known as biochemical oxygen demand. It is important to water quality because it decreases the amount of oxygen to kill bacteria.
