"Non obligate" refers to organisms or processes that do not rely on a particular condition or resource for survival or function. These organisms or processes can adapt to different conditions or resources as needed.

What two enzymes are present in obligate aerobes but lacking in obligate anaerobes?

Catalase and superoxide dismutase are two enzymes that are present in obligate aerobes but lacking in obligate anaerobes. These enzymes help in breaking down toxic reactive oxygen species that are produced during aerobic respiration.


What is the opposite of facultative?

Obligate is the opposite of facultative in biology. Treaty is the opposite of facultative in insurance.


What is the name given to organisms that require oxygen to survive?

Aerobes are organisms that require oxygen to survive. They use oxygen for their metabolic processes to generate energy for growth and survival. Without oxygen, these organisms cannot carry out their normal functions.


What makes rickettsias and chlamydias unique to the bacteria?

Rickettsias are obligate intracellular parasites that require a eukaryotic host for growth and replication. Chlamydias also depend on eukaryotic cells for propagation but have a unique developmental cycle involving an infectious elementary body and a non-infectious reticulate body. Both groups are known for causing diseases in humans.


Why will obligate anaerobes grow in thioglycollate?

Obligate anaerobes do not need or use oxygen as a nutrient. In fact it is a toxic substance to them which either kills or inhibits their growth. Thioglycollate allows obligate anaerobes to grow because it consists of sodium thioglycollate, thioglycollic acid and L-crystine which reduce oxygen to water. This creates an anaerobic environment allowing obligate anaerobes to grow.
