Question

A scientist discovers a new species of marine bacteria that do not require oxygen to survive. In fact, dissolved oxygen in the water is actually toxic to these bacteria. Predict what region of the ocean this species would most likely inhabit, and select the best explanation.

A.)Deep becasue there is less oxygen exchange
B.)Deep because there are more oxygen-containing compounds
C.)Shallow because more oxygen is produced
D.)Shallow becasue low pressure increases dissolved gas

Answer 1

Answer - A. Deep because there is less O2 exchange

Reasoning - Bacteria has been known to only use half a percentage which is .5 percent of O2.

Answer 2

Option (A).

Step-by-step explanation:

Bacteria are involved in the prokaryotic organisms as well as in the Archean. Bacteria are unicellular organism that generally reproduces by the asexual reproduction.

A new bacteria has discovered that does not require oxygen for their survival and oxygen acts as a toxic substance for these bacteria. The bacteria is generally found in the deeper zone as the oxygen exchange is less in this area.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).
