Question

suppose an alien life form is discovered on another planet that takes in CH4 from the atmosphere which of the following could be used to determine what happens if CH4 after the organism consumes it

Answer 1

Combustion could be a method of energy use from the organism that consumes methane. In combustion, the alkane is ignited with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. Carbon dioxide and water are common respiratory byproducts found on Earth as well. CH4 + 2O2 -> CO2 + 2H2O
