Bacteria that are obligate anaerobes release energy from food by?
i think that it is d, d
Reply:D. fermentation


D. is protected
Reply:fermentation


dries out...and is protected


so two answers are correct for the second
Reply:Obligate anaerobes use anaerobic cellular respiration (requires a non-O2 electron acceptor) AND fermentation.





As an endospore, a bacterium is in a dormant, more protected state (some bactera will convert to this dormant state under very harsh conditions). They are also in a more dehydrated form (endospores may form when *water* is scarce in the environment).
