Are aerobes which can grow without oxygen

(C) Facultative anaerobes are organisms that can switch between aerobic and anaerobic types of metabolism. They are primarily aerobes,meaning they prefer to use oxygen for cellular respiration to produce more $ATP$,but they can also grow in the absence of oxygen by using fermentation or anaerobic respiration. Therefore,they are not strictly anaerobic.

Introduction and types of respiration

Match the respiration types with their respective respiratory substrates:

Respiration Type of substrate

$A$. Floating respiration $i$. Proteins

$B$. Cytoplasmic respiration $ii$. Starch

$C$. Protoplasmic respiration $iii$. Carbohydrates

$D$. Lactic acid fermentation $iv$. Lactose

Select the correct matching sequence:

Respiration	Type of substrate
$A$. Floating respiration	$i$. Proteins
$B$. Cytoplasmic respiration	$ii$. Starch
$C$. Protoplasmic respiration	$iii$. Carbohydrates
$D$. Lactic acid fermentation	$iv$. Lactose
