Compare and contrast the metabolic diversity of bacteria in one of the two groups below.A. Obligate anaerobes, facultative anaerobes, and aerobes
B. Autotrophic and heterotrophic bacteria
What will be an ideal response?
A. Obligate anaerobes cannot metabolize in the presence of oxygen. Facultative anaerobes
metabolize in either the presence or absence of oxygen. Aerobes can metabolize only in the
presence of oxygen.
B. Autotrophic bacteria make their own organic compounds from inorganic sources, whereas
heterotrophic bacteria cannot do this. Instead, heterotrophic bacteria must obtain their carbon
compounds from the organic compounds produced by other organisms
