Question

true or false question
oxygen is toxic to obligate anaerobes because these organisms lack the enzymes to degrade toxic products of aerobic metabolism
o true
o false
need help? review these concept resources.

Explanation:

Obligate anaerobes are organisms that cannot grow in the presence of oxygen. This is because they lack the enzymes (such as superoxide dismutase, catalase, etc.) necessary to detoxify the harmful reactive oxygen species (toxic products of aerobic metabolism like superoxide radicals) that form when oxygen is present. So, oxygen is toxic to them.

True
