An organism is discovered living near hydrothermal vents deep in the ocean where sunlight cannot
reach. It is found to gain energy through the oxidation of inorganic sulfur compounds present in its
environment and uses this energy to turn CO2 into complex organic compounds. Based on this
information, how would this organism be best categorized metabolically?

It produces 36 molecules of ATP. 2. It uses oxygen to produce energy. 3. It occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell. 4. It results in the production of lactic acid. Which characteristics did the student list incorrectly? Characteristics 2 and 3 are incorrect because anaerobic respiration produces energy without oxygen and occurs in the mitochondria of a cell. Characteristics 1 and 4 are incorrect because anaerobic respiration produces 2 molecules of ATP and does not produce lactic acid. Characteristics 3 and 4 are incorrect because anaerobic respiration occurs in the mitochondria of a cell and does not produce lactic acid. O Characteristics 1 and 2 are incorrect because anaerobic respiration produces 2 molecules of ATP and produces energy without oxygen.arrow_forward
