cellular respiration , which used oxygen to help harvest energy from organic molecules - (B) the persistence of some animal groups in anaerobic habitats
- (C) the evolution of photosynthetic pigments that protected early algae from the corrosive effects of oxygen
- (D) the evolution of chloroplasts after early protists incorpo-rated photosynthetic cyanobacteria
