Question

Why Aerobes Bacteria survive in the presence of Oxygen and why not Anaerobes?​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge\underline\mathfrak\red{❥Answer}$

Explanation:

In their metabolism of energy-containing compounds, aerobes require molecular oxygen as a terminal electron acceptor and cannot grow in its absence (see Chapter 4). Anaerobes, on the other hand, cannot grow in the presence of oxygen.

Answer 2

Answer:

Obligate anaerobes, which live only in the absence of oxygen, do not possess the defenses that make aerobic life possible and therefore cannot survive in air. The excited singlet oxygen molecule is very reactive. Therefore, superoxide must be removed for the cells to survive in the presence of oxygen.
