Researchers just discovered a unique organism that doesn't need to breathe oxygen. Instead, the tiny parasite lives in salmon tissue and evolved so that it doesn't need oxygen to produce energy. It's a brilliant simplification that proves, sometimes, less is more, said Stephen Atkinson, Senior Research Associate at Oregon State University's Department of Microbiology.

"When we think of 'animals,' we picture multicellular creatures that need oxygen to survive, unlike many single-celled organisms including protists and bacteria. In our work, we have shown that there is at least one multicellular animal that does not have the genetic toolkit to use oxygen."..... click the link below to CONTINUE reading ==> https://www.aksu360.com/2020/02/wait-for-it-scientists-have-discovered.html

Good research

It would be nice if we can copy this trait......it will be of great use especially in space exploration

Educative...... But the characteristics of living things amongst others is respiration......... Do we say the so called animal is an animal or we refer to it as a thing

Good research

Wow

I knew it would be Aquatic

A living thing that doesn't need oxygen to survive ?


God is wonderful!

Respiration doesn't start and end with oxygen..

Lies!! Except its a robotic invention.

Louder please.
I wont apportion blame too much because not everybody took biology beyond secondary school.

Wonderful

Just like we copied doggy style

Carbondioxide nko

Yawn

Amazing

Mm

Every living things breath GOD IS GOD #ABLEGOD#

This discovery will call to question certain scientific conclusions.

Life has no remote. Get up and change it yourself. One of the simplest way to stay happy is to let go all of the things that make you sad. The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts. games for girls

A Google search of the picture is saying different thing entirely

op, wetin dey occur?

Ruling on this organism loading...

Today is Friday!!!!

Shame on Nigerian professors

Woww

it has decided to be solely dependent on a host, ditching cellular machineries, it wouldn't survive outside one... I don't see how copying a parasitic trait will help space exploration

Emphasis on the word "if"

This is amazing.
