What else can I help you with?
What would indicate that the respiration reactions occurring are anaerobic?
The production of lactic acid or ethanol as byproducts would indicate that the respiration reactions are anaerobic. These byproducts are produced when there is a lack of oxygen available to complete the aerobic respiration process. Additionally, anaerobic respiration typically produces less energy compared to aerobic respiration.
Did aerobic repsiration evolve before anaerobic respiration?
Anaerobic respiration likely evolved before aerobic respiration. Anaerobic pathways are considered more ancient and can be traced back to early prokaryotic organisms. Aerobic respiration evolved later as a more efficient process that became advantageous with the presence of oxygen in Earth's atmosphere.
Would an organism die without respiration even if they have food?
Yes, an organism would die without respiration even if they have food because respiration is essential for extracting energy from food molecules. Without respiration, the organism would not be able to generate the energy needed for survival and its cells would not be able to function properly.
What type of respiration would tetanus bacteria use?
Tetanus bacteria use anaerobic respiration. This means they do not require oxygen to generate energy. Instead, they use alternative electron acceptors such as nitrate or fumarate for their respiration process.
Is an anaerobic bacterium an organism that will carry out cellular respiration?
Yes, in a sense Cellular respiration is just another term for METABOLISM - The Process of Life. Metabolism will use either of the Respiratory Processes - aerobic or anaerobic {with or without Oxygen} - to make the mandatory energy molecule Atp. Photosynthesis is an aerobic way to provide energy, and Chemosynthesis is the anaerobic way - using, say H2S as the electron donor {instead of say CH4} to produce energy [via the production of Atp] to provide Glucose for Respiration. [It would appear that bacteria at deep-sea-thermal-vents use sulfur to make glucose for Standard Respiration].
What would happen if we did not have anaerobic respiration?
Nothing! as we are aerobes and need oxygen for respiration.

Why would you not expect to find mitochondria in anaerobic organisms?
Mitochondria are organelles responsible for aerobic respiration, which requires oxygen. Anaerobic organisms do not rely on oxygen for their energy production, instead they use fermentation or anaerobic respiration. Therefore, they would not have mitochondria.
Why do erythrocytes only perform anaerobic respiration?
Erythrocytes (red blood cells) have no cellular organelles - they have pushed all of them out to make more room for hemoglobin to carry oxygen. Therefore, the RBC must rely on anaerobic respiration for its energy needs because it gave up the mitochondria that would have performed aerobic respiration.
Would archeabacteria be able to carry out cellular respiration?
anaerobic bacteria
Is alcoholic fermentation aerobic?
Yes. In more complex organism, in which aerobic respiration is the main process to make ATP, when your body does have enough oxygen it goes though anaerobic respiration. In simpler organisms, which don't require much ATP, anaerobic would be the main process.
Did aerobic repsiration evolve before anaerobic respiration?
Anaerobic respiration likely evolved before aerobic respiration. Anaerobic pathways are considered more ancient and can be traced back to early prokaryotic organisms. Aerobic respiration evolved later as a more efficient process that became advantageous with the presence of oxygen in Earth's atmosphere.
How does this amount of energy compare to that obtained by anaerobic organism?
if you mean the difference between aerobic to anaerobic respiration then i would say that anaerobic respiration releases about 2 ATP for every glucose molecule with the byproducts being ethanol and carbon dioxide. But in an aerobic organism the cells convert glucose (in the presence of Oxygen) to pyruvate releasing 2 ATP and then converting it to Carbon dioxide and Water releasing 36 ATP. Bringing it to a total on 38 ATP (Whew!!). Which is quite a lot compared to 2 ATP. Answered By XCESS (unosivulu)
