Respiration in Bacteria
Subject: Biology
Overview
Both aerobic and anaerobic respiration occurs in bacteria. This note contains information about respiration in bacteria.Respiration in Bacteria
Both aerobic and anaerobic respiration occurs in bacteria.
Aerobic respiration
In aerobic respiration, respiration occurs in the presence of oxygen and a complete breakdown of glucose takes place in this respiration. It is of following types;
Obligate aerobic
There must be the presence of oxygen for obligate aerobic respiration. They die in the absence of oxygen. Eg; Bacillus subliles
Facultative aerobic
In facultative aerobic bacteria, respiration normally takes place by anaerobically but when there is a presence of oxygen they can change into aerobes. Eg; Rhodopseudomonas
Anaerobic respiration
In anaerobic respiration, respiration occurs in the absence of oxygen and incomplete breakdown of glucose takes place in this process.
Obligate anaerobic
In obligate anaerobic bacteria, respiration occurs anaerobically and they die in the presence of oxygen. Eg; Clostridium botulinum
Facultative anaerobic
In facultative anaerobic bacteria, respiration normally takes place by anaerobically but they can change into anaerobes in the absence of oxygen. Eg; Halophiles
Things to remember
- In aerobic respiration, respiration occurs in the presence of oxygen and a complete breakdown of glucose takes place.
- There must be the presence of oxygen for obligate aerobic respiration.
- In facultative aerobic bacteria, respiration normally takes place by anaerobically but when there is a presence of oxygen they can change into aerobes.
- In facultative anaerobic bacteria, respiration normally takes place by anaerobically but they can change into anaerobes in the absence of oxygen.
- It includes every relationship which established among the people.
- There can be more than one community in a society. Community smaller than society.
- It is a network of social relationships which cannot see or touched.
- common interests and common objectives are not necessary for society.
