Question

what resulted as the process of aerobic respiration evolved?
the diversity of active and efficient organisms increased.
the diversity of active and efficient organisms decreased.
organisms became extinct at a rapid rate.
carbon dioxide levels increased dramatically.

Explanation:

Aerobic respiration is more efficient than anaerobic respiration as it produces more ATP (energy). This allowed organisms to be more active (due to more energy availability) and as a result, the diversity of active and efficient organisms increased. Carbon - dioxide is a product of aerobic respiration, but it did not increase dramatically compared to the impact on organism diversity. Also, aerobic respiration's evolution was a positive development for life forms and did not lead to rapid extinction.

Answer:

The diversity of active and efficient organisms increased.
