Question

composting, compost piles can be classified as aerobic or anaerobic. the design of the compost pile determines which type... a compost pile in which bacteria perform anaerobic respiration? a a compost pile that is covered, but uncovered and mixed frequently b a compost pile that is uncovered so light can be absorbed c a compost pile that is uncovered and watered frequently d a compost pile that is covered and sealed so gasses cannot enter nor escape

Explanation:

Anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen. A sealed compost pile (Option D) prevents gas exchange, creating an oxygen - free environment suitable for anaerobic bacteria. Options A - C allow oxygen entry (covered but uncovered/mixed, uncovered, uncovered for light), favoring aerobic respiration.

Answer:

D. a compost pile that is covered and sealed so gasses cannot enter nor escape
