What organisms cannot produce energy without oxygen?

  • A. Obligate anaerobes.
  • B. Strict aerobes.
  • C. Facultative aerobes.
  • D. Facultative anaerobes.
Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Correct Answer: B - Strict aerobes

Rationale:
1. Strict aerobes require oxygen for energy production through aerobic respiration.
2. Without oxygen, strict aerobes cannot generate energy efficiently.
3. Obligate anaerobes (A) do not require oxygen and can produce energy through anaerobic respiration.
4. Facultative aerobes (C) can switch between aerobic and anaerobic respiration based on oxygen availability.
5. Facultative anaerobes (D) can generate energy through both aerobic and anaerobic respiration, depending on the environment.

Summary:
Strict aerobes are organisms that solely rely on oxygen for energy production. Other choices (A, C, D) can adapt their energy production methods based on oxygen availability.
