Some bacteria that are adapted to live without oxygen combine carbon dioxide and hydrogen to produce?
Methane
Reply:Methane is the correct answer. A good example of anaerobes (organisms that live without Oxygen) would be a waste water treatment plant. After the waste goes through the anaerobic digester the methane gas that is produced is either burned off at a smoke stack or captured and shipped off as a byproduct of the process.
