Question
Chapter 5, Problem 9RQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The organisms that live in aerobic and anaerobic environmental conditions.
Introduction:
Growth of various forms is affected by several environment conditions. The organisms adapt according to the environmental conditions in their habitats. The microorganisms are the microscopic in size that cannot be visible by a naked eye. The environmental conditions that affect the growth are temperature, pressure, oxygen, salts, and the pH (potential of hydrogen) of the solution.

Students have asked these similar questions
We know that atmospheric oxygen (O2) can be a final electron acceptor at the end of the electron transport chain in aerobic respiration.
Name 2 other inorganic molecules that can be final electron acceptors at the end of the electron transport chain in anaerobic respiration.
Name 1 organic molecule that can be a final electron acceptor in fermentation.
What does it mean to say that during cellular respiration, electron carriers are reduced while the food molecule is oxidized? How does this relate to the phrase “Redox reactions”?
What is the metabolic advantage of a substrate cycle? What is its cost?
