Why are there no multicellular anaerobic organisms?

I'm not sure how old this question is, but in fact three species multicellular anaerobic organisims were found in deep-sea sediments in April 2010. If you do a search for 'multicellular anaerobic organisms' you can see the details.


What is a process common to all living organisms aerobic and anaerobic is it aglycolysis b fermentation c Krebs cycle d electron transport chain reactions e pyruvate oxidation?

The process common to all living organisms, both aerobic and anaerobic, is glycolysis. Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that breaks down glucose into pyruvate, producing ATP as a result. This process occurs in the cytoplasm of cells and does not require oxygen.


Why do scientists think the first living cells to appear on earth were probably anaerobic heterotraphs?

Scientists believe that the first living cells on Earth were likely anaerobic heterotrophs because early Earth lacked oxygen, and these organisms do not require oxygen for their metabolism. Anaerobic heterotrophs can obtain the carbon compounds they need for energy from organic molecules in their environment, making them well-suited for the conditions of early Earth.


Process that requires oxygen?

Aerobic respiration is a process that requires oxygen to produce energy in the form of ATP. This process occurs in the cells of living organisms, including animals and some types of bacteria. During aerobic respiration, glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen to fuel the production of ATP.


Do fungi need oxygen to live?

Yes, most fungi require oxygen to survive. Oxygen is essential for their cellular respiration process, which generates energy for growth and metabolism. However, there are some fungi, like yeasts, that can also ferment in anaerobic conditions.

Is polio virus anaerobic or aerobic?

Polio virus is neither anaerobic nor aerobic, as these terms apply to organisms that require oxygen (aerobic) or do not require oxygen (anaerobic) for metabolism. Polio is a virus, which is a non-living entity that relies on host cells for replication and does not have metabolic processes of its own. Thus, its classification as aerobic or anaerobic is not applicable.

How does your body get energy to do what you want it to do?

We need the sun as do many living organisms. Also, we eat, drink and if we're tired we sleep.


Latic acid fermentation is useful in living creatures because?

Lactic acid fermentation is basically anaerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration is respiration which takes place in the absence of oxygen. Thus, it is a way of life in anaerobic organisms. Even in aerobic organisms, anaerobic respiration takes place when the concentration of oxygen is low. Thus it also helps anaerobic organisms to survive.


Is Swine Flu aerobic?

It is not classified that same way as bacteria are. Bacteria are classified as aerobic or anaerobic to indicate if they are aerobic (require oxygen to function) or anaerobic (live in an oxygen-free environment). But bacteria are living organisms very different from viruses (swine flu is caused by a virus). Viruses are not "alive", they live off a host animal or plant (and even on bacteria) and cause the living organisms to metabolize and provide for them. Viruses don't really care if there is or is not an oxygen rich atmosphere as long as the environment is good for their host (in most cases, this is an aerobic environment.)

Why would the earliest living forms have carried on anaerobic respiration rather than aerobic?

There was not enough oxygen in the atmosphere until the anerobes made it, and then drove themselves almost to extinction.


What needs oxygen?

All aerobic living things needs oxygen. Anaerobic organisms do nor need oxygen and may be poisoned by it, facilitative organisms can adjust their metabolism to act as either aerobes or anaerobes.


What does the term anaerobic refer to?

Anaerobic exercise is exercise without oxygen, in other words, exercise that does not get you breathing hard. Doing a single squat or bench press are examples of anaerobic exercise. Actually, every exercise is at least slightly aerobic or slightly anaerobic. Also, many anaerobic exercises can be made aerobic simply by doing more of them, for example, doing 50 bench presses or squats without pausing.


Where is Respiration in a plant?

Respiration in a plant occurs in each living cell of plant> Aerobic respiration starts in the cytosol and then continues in the mitochondria, whereas anaerobic respiration takes place entirely in the cytosol

An anaerobic metabolic pathway that results in the production of two net ATP per glucose plus two pyruvic acid molecules is?

Glycolysis is an ATP-generating metabolism that takes place in almost all living cells. It refers to the process of breaking down glucose or other sugars and converting them into pyruvic acid.
