Methanogens are able to live in anaerobic conditions.

a. true

b. false

True

Explanation:

Methanogens are prokaryotic microbes that produce methane as a by-product of metabolism in anoxic or anaerobic conditions. They are commonly found in the gastro-intestinal parts of ruminants, Marine sediments, and wetlands etc. They are responsible for the methane content released when cows burp/belch and the marsh gas of the wetlands.

Methanogens are strictly anaerobic (they thrive best in a no-oxygen condition) and play a vital ecological role by using up excess hydrogen as an energy source and other products of fermentation released during anaerobic respiration. Due to this, methanogens thrive in an environment which has all electron acceptors e.g. Oxygen, Sulphate, Nitrate etc. removed. This excludes CO2 because methanogens use CO2 as their carbon source.

the correct answer, according to e2020, is the second choice there is an occluded front in region a and a cold front in region b.
