When placed in oxygen, cells that can grow both aerobically and anaerobically (facultative anaerobes) inhibit anaerobic respiration and the cell grows aerobically. With this happening, what is a reason for this observation? Could someone compare the growth conditions between an obligate anaerobe and an aerotolerant anaerobe? What is the detailed reason for their similarities and/or differences?

Compare aerobic respiration, anaerobic respiration, and fermentation. How are the processes similar? How are they different? How do these processes determine which environment the organism can live in? [Key terms to use in the answer: electron transport chain, cytochrome, ATP, glucose, glycolysis, obligate aerobe, facultative anaerobe, microaerophile, obligate anaerobe, oxidase, catalase, peroxidase, CO2, organic acids and alcohols, alternative substrates (other than glucose)]

Match each type of organism with the best description of its oxygen requirements an organism that requires an oxygen-free environment obligate anaerobe an organism that requires oxygen to survive obligate aerobe an organism that requires a low facultative anaerobe concentration of oxygen (less than the oxygen concentration in the atmosphere) an organism that grows equally facultative anaerobe well with or without oxygen an organism that can grow without oxygen but that grows best with oxygen aerotolerant anaerobes
