What is an Obligate anaerobe? How do obligate anaerobes, like the bacteria C. Botulinum, get energy ?

See the answer below

Explanation:

Obligate anaerobes are microbes that can only survive in oxygen-deficient environments. They are killed by the normal atmospheric level of oxygen and will only thrive in environments whose oxygen levels are lower than that of normal atmospheric level.

Obligate bacteria such as Clostridium botulinum obtain their energy through anaerobic respiration processes such as fermentation and anaerobic respiration. During this process of fermentation, the lactic acid pathway is mostly used but other fermentation pathways such as propionic acid, mixed acid, acetogenesis, and methanogenesis pathways can be used.

thinking it would be d not too sure but i think it's right

it has to be understood that the sea water contains a huge amount of sodium and chlorine ions and if they enter the cell of the atlantic cod fish, the cell will shrivel and the fish will die. to avoid such a condition, the fish uses active transport for the purpose of removing the ions against the gradient.

explanation:

the atlantic cod is not a maritime osmoconformer. its native application of salts is less than that of the seawater it lives in. it is continually falling water from the gills to the ocean via osmosis.

countering that, the fish is going to be swallowing seawater. but since its internal collection of salts is lower than seawater, the fish will want to go free of excess salt, and since that's going upon a gradient, then active transport, requiring energy, must be used to pump out the salt. much marine fish use the organs to filter out the salt and these fish discharge very straight urine.
