How do aerobic bacteria differ from anaerobic bacteria? a. aerobic bacteria are poisoned by oxygen and anaerobic bacteria are not. b. aerobic bacteria do not have mitochondria and anaerobic bacteria do. c. aerobic bacteria use fermentation and anaerobic bacteria do not. d. aerobic bacteria use respiration and anaerobic bacteria do not.

The right option is; d. Aerobic bacteria use respiration and anaerobic bacteria do not.

Aerobic bacteria are the bacteria that need oxygen to perform cellular respiration, and can survive and grow in an oxygenated environment, while anaerobic bacteria are the bacteria that do not require oxygen for their growth. Examples of aerobic bacteria include; Bacillus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Norcadia. Examples of anaerobic bacteria include; Actinomyces, Clostridium botulinum, and fusobacterium.
