E coli bacteria, unlike most bacteria, can generate ATP through both anaerobic and aerobic processes. Two cultures of E. coli, culture A and culture B, are grown from a small starting population of bacteria and exposed to the exact same temperature, humidity levels. light levels, food (glucose) availability and space. The only difference is that culture A was exposed to a source of oxygen and culture B did not have a supply of oxygen. At the end of the week scientists counted the population size of each bacteria culture. Select the explanation that would be best supported by the information scientists know about cellular respiration Oxygen is poisonous to E coli bacteria cells and it will kill the cells in culture A Culture A would be able to produce more energy in order to reproduce faster and support more cells. The presence, or absence, of oxygen will not impact the survival rates of E coll bacteria. Culture B can maximize ATP production by only using one energy generating pathway in a very efficient manner
