Which of the following is not a characteristic of anaerobic species? a. they do not have mitochondria. b. they make atp from glucose. c. they use fermentation to make atp. d. they live in oxygen-rich settings.

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

Organisms or particularly species that survive in the absence of free oxygen are called anaerobes or anaerobic species. Some of the anaerobes grow only in the absence of free oxygen are called strict or obligate anaerobic species.

Anaerobic species only form 2 molecules of ATP for every 1 molecule of glucose, while aerobic cells produce 38.Fermentation metabolism permits these species to survive in some of the most extreme environments.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.

humans are now responsible for causing changes in the environment that hurt animals and plant species. we take up more space on earth for our homes and cities. we pollute habitats. human activity often changes or destroys the habitats that plants and animals need to survive.
