Which of the following terms best describes an organism that cannot exist in the presence of oxygen?
a. Obligate aerobe
b. Facultative aerobe
c. Obligate anaerobe
d. Facultative anaerobe

검증된 단계별 안내
1
Understand the definitions of the terms related to oxygen requirements in microorganisms:
An obligate aerobe requires oxygen to survive and grow.
A facultative aerobe (more commonly called facultative anaerobe) can grow with or without oxygen but prefers oxygen.
An obligate anaerobe cannot survive in the presence of oxygen; oxygen is toxic to it.
A facultative anaerobe can grow with or without oxygen, switching metabolic pathways depending on oxygen availability.
Based on these definitions, identify the term that describes an organism that cannot exist in the presence of oxygen.

주요 개념

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Obligate Anaerobe

An obligate anaerobe is an organism that cannot survive in the presence of oxygen because oxygen is toxic to its cellular processes. These organisms rely on anaerobic respiration or fermentation to generate energy.

Obligate Aerobe

An obligate aerobe requires oxygen for survival and energy production. It uses aerobic respiration, where oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain.

Facultative Anaerobe

A facultative anaerobe can grow with or without oxygen. It prefers aerobic respiration when oxygen is available but can switch to anaerobic respiration or fermentation in its absence.
