| Hey everyone, I've been thinking about this a lot lately after watching some nature doc about deep-sea critters. Like, most of us learn the classic aerobic respiration thing in school—glucose plus oxygen equals energy, CO2, and water—but clearly that's not the whole story for every living thing out there. In what ways do different organisms adapt their energy pathways beyond standard aerobic respiration? Some microbes thrive in zero-oxygen spots, right? Or those sprinting animals that switch modes fast. Anyone got examples from real life or just random reading that stuck with you? I'm genuinely curious because it feels like biology class barely scratched the surface sometimes.
