    Study Notes

    Respiration

    • Breaks down sugars to release energy in the absence of oxygen
    • Typically slower and less efficient than aerobic respiration
    • Involves chemicals other than oxygen and carbon dioxide

    Classification of Organisms Based on Respiration

    • Facultative Anaerobes: can perform either aerobic or anaerobic respiration depending on oxygen content
      • Example: Coliform bacteria
    • Microaerophiles: break down sugars in the presence of minute amounts of oxygen to produce energy

    Classification of Organisms Based on Environment

    Temperature

    • Mesophiles: require moderate temperatures to survive
    • Extremophiles: can survive in extreme conditions
    • Thermophiles: can resist high temperatures

    pH Levels

    • Neutrophiles: require moderate conditions to survive
    • Acidophiles: can tolerate low pH conditions
    • Alkaliphiles: can tolerate high pH conditions
