Question

Organisms use different sources of carbon and energy. Archaeans do NOT use glycolysis and do NOT always use the pentose phosphate pathway, but use variations on these pathways for similar purposes. What is the best classification of this type of catabolism?
​
​(A) photoautotrophs
​(B) chemolithotrophs
​(C) chemoorganotrophs
​(D) phot heterotrophs

Answer 1

Answer: B) chemolithotrophs

Explanation: chemolithotroph are organisms that is able to use inorganic reduced compounds as a source of energy. the generation of energy (ATP) and the generation of reducing power (NADH) is the primary goal in chemolithotrophy.
