Well, it's clearly true that the organisms that gave rise to the oxygen atmosphere were not themselves oxygen breathers (since you can't get oxygen breathers until you first have oxygen), ergo they are anaerobic.

EDIT: If I'm wrong show me the reaction that has Sugar as a reactant and O2 as a product and the organism that uses it. |

Didn't say it was. If it doesn't use oxygen, it's anaerobic, whether or not any breathing is involved. You may be focused on a particular biology definition of anaerobic, but it has a generic chemistry meaning.

You used "metabolism". Besides I was clearly talking about respiration, which is what the OP seems to talking about too. |

We're agreed that there's no good reason for the OPs original construction, but there's probably some method for an anaerobic non-autotroph organism to generate oxygen. There's just not an obvious reason for it to want to do so.

My writing gets a little odd right before I take a nap. But that's what I meant.

I asked how y'all would model a specific example of respiration in game terms; my question has been answered to my satisfaction. I don't have much to add to the biochemistry portion of the conversation and so I'm sitting back and reading while taking some notes when stuff I'm not familiar with is mentioned and having the occasional chuckle.
Is there something in specific you'd like from me? |
