Problem:
Question 1: What metabolism would be favored when there is a lack of electron acceptors?
- anoxygenic photosynthesis
- acetogenesis
- anaerobic fermentation
- anoxic ammonia oxidation
Question 2: What would likely occur if an anammox bacterium was unable to use ladderane lipids?
- Rates of anammox would be considerably slower due to a lack of localized metabolism.
- Reactive nitrogen species would kill the cell.
- It would require a different source for carbon assimilation.
- Ammonium rather than ammonia would be used due to ammonia toxicity to other cellular processes.
Please select correct answer and also provide explaination.
