mostly they die. oxygen is highly reactive and creates free radicals which destroy cell membranes. by the way the very same process is killing us slowly day by day, cell by cell... take a breath :)

∙ 14y agoobligatet anaerobic bacteria will die if there exposed to oxygen for more than 10 hours
but there are bacteria that is primary anaerobic and secondary aerobic, and they will grow fast at anaerobic conditions and slow at aerobic conditions

∙ 12y agoBecause they did not servive in oxygen many of co2 componenet in a medium where r present so they obligate in oxgen so he did not servive in presence ino2

∙ 14y agoprobably because oxygen generate free radicals which can destroy the cell wall of anaerobic microbes
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoThis type of organism is called an anaerobe, "an-aero" meaning "without-oxygen".

Cells produce ATP most efficiently in the presence of what molecule?
Oxygen. Cells can produce much more ATP from glucose in the presence of Oxygen (aerobic respiration) than without oxygen (anaerobic respiration) in a process called oxidative phosphorylation that occurs in the mitochondria of cells. In the presence of oxygen one glucose can be broken down to produce 36 ATP Without oxygen, only 4 ATP can be made
Is E aerogenes aerobic?
E. Coli can be but only in oxygen free conditions. Normally it is aerobic.
How do you use anaerobic in a sentence?
Anaerobic means without oxygen. Those are anaerobic bacteria.
How does anaerobic respiration make a person feel?
Dead... A person cannot perform respiration without oxygen. Anaerobic means without oxygen or air. A person that is anaerobic for too long will begin to pass out and later die from lack of oxygen. Certain animals, bacteria, and viruses are anaerobic, but humans are not.
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.
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 happens if an organism performs cellular respiration without oxygen?
Anaerobic respiration does not involve oxygen.
What do you call an organism that does not require oxygen?
Anaerobic
What does it mean for organism to be an anaerobic?
It is poisoned by oxygen
What does it means for an organism to be anaerobic?
It is poisoned by oxygen
What does is mean for an organism to be anaerobic?
It is poisoned by oxygen
What would make and an organism perform anaerobic respiration?
When oxygen is not available. "anaerobic" means "without oxygen ("aerobic" = oxygen).
Is oxygen necessary for glycolysis?
No - glycolysis is anaerobic (it does occur in the presence of oxygen).
What are the characteristics of anaerobic species?
An anaerobic species is one that does not live in oxygen-rich settings. Anaerobic means that the organism does not need oxygen to live.
What are the characteristics of an anaerobic species?
An anaerobic species is one that does not live in oxygen-rich settings. Anaerobic means that the organism does not need oxygen to live.
What is having to do without oxygen?
When a process or organism doesn't require oxygen it is called anaerobic, or sometimes facultatively anaerobic depending on the specific organism. Another term for without oxygen is anoxic.
Anaerobic organism examples?
An anaerobic organism or anaerobe is any organism that does not require oxygen for growth. Examples are gut flora, skin flora, and bacterial disease.
