What else can I help you with?
Is moss anaerobic?
No, moss is not anaerobic. Moss requires oxygen for respiration, just like most other living organisms. Anaerobic organisms are those that can survive in environments with little to no oxygen.
A group of organisms that thrive in an anaerobic environment?
Anaerobic organisms are those that can survive and reproduce in environments with little to no oxygen. These organisms have adapted to obtain energy from sources other than oxygen through processes such as fermentation or anaerobic respiration. Examples include certain types of bacteria, archaea, and protozoa.
Which animal can respire in absence of oxygen?
Some anaerobic bacteria and archaea can perform respiration without oxygen, using alternative electron acceptors such as nitrate, sulfate, or carbon dioxide. These organisms are known as facultative anaerobes.
Would you expect to be able to isolate an anaerobic organism from any of your cultures?
It is possible to isolate anaerobic organisms from cultures specifically designed to support their growth, such as anaerobic culture techniques that avoid exposure to oxygen. However, in cultures that are aerobically maintained, it would be unlikely to isolate anaerobic organisms due to their sensitivity to oxygen.
Would the first organisms be aerobic or anaerobic?
The first organisms on Earth were likely anaerobic, as oxygen levels were low in the early atmosphere. Anaerobic organisms do not require oxygen for metabolism, which would have been advantageous in this environment.
How do you treat insect and animal bites?
This question is far too general. Insect bites and animal bites are different.
Is moss anaerobic?
No, moss is not anaerobic. Moss requires oxygen for respiration, just like most other living organisms. Anaerobic organisms are those that can survive in environments with little to no oxygen.

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 does it mean for an organisms to be anaerobic?
It is poisoned by oxygen
When an organism can survive without oxygen it is called this?
An organism is described as anaerobic [from the Greek word "an" (opposite) and "aerobio" (air-lived)] if it does not require oxygen in order to survive. Instead, anaerobic organisms use anaerobic respiration to obtain energy from food. Most anaerobic organisms are microorganisms such as bacteria, yeasts, and internal parasites that live in places where there is never much oxygen, such as in the mud at the bottom of a lake or pond, or in the alimentary canal. Anaerobic organisms release much less of the available energy from their food than do aerobic organisms.
Which animal can respire in absence of oxygen?
Some anaerobic bacteria and archaea can perform respiration without oxygen, using alternative electron acceptors such as nitrate, sulfate, or carbon dioxide. These organisms are known as facultative anaerobes.
What does FAN on a blood culture bottle mean?
It may depend on the brand of blood culture bottles, but there are generally 2 types of bottles drawn on an adult patient; one to culture aerobic organisms and one for anaerobic or facultatively anaerobic organisms. Anaerobic organisms require no oxygen for growth. Facultative means the organism seems to do better under anaerobic conditions. AN for anaerobic...perhaps the F means facultatively.
What are some anaerobic organisms?
clostridium and bacteroides species
What types of organisms go through anaerobic respiration?
Anaerobic respiration is carried out by organisms such as bacteria, archaea, and some fungi that can thrive in environments with low or no oxygen. These organisms generate energy through processes like fermentation or anaerobic respiration in the absence of oxygen.
What is the definition of anaerobic?
Anaerobic refers to processes that occur without the presence of oxygen. In biology, anaerobic organisms can survive and thrive in environments lacking oxygen, using alternative methods to generate energy. Anaerobic exercise is physical activity that does not rely on oxygen for energy production.
What are some obligate anaerobic organisms?
clostridium and bacteroides species
