In swamps and bogs with very low dissolved oxygen in water, soils are low in inorganic nutrients required for plant growth because decomposition rates are very low. Microbes have evolved ways to use the available resources found in low oxygen environments. Given this, how should we classify a bacterium that makes ATP by breaking bonds in methane (CH4) and uses carbon in CO2 to make sugars?

Imagine that certain laws of physics could be ignored and you were able to travel vast distances in moments. now imagine that you traveled to an earth-like planet located light-years away that is known to support life. think about what you’ve learned in this unit and make an argument for what you think would be the dominant type of life form on this planet. consider whether a notochord is required for an organism to manipulate its environment and become a dominant creature.
