Question

Metabolism is essential to life and is the process by which cells make energy to carry out all of the processes required for them to survive. Metabolism requires that the organism transport substances from the environment into the cell to utilize in their metabolic pathways. Bacteria have a diverse array of potential metabolic processes to make energy. Given the information below (A. and B.), describe how the organisms would make ATP in the environment they are found. Make sure to discuss in detail each of the pathways, including the starting products, end products, components of the ETC (if applicable), how the cell makes ATP during this process, where in the cell each of these pathways occur and  the transport mechanism(s) utilized to move the starting products from the environment into the cell.

         A. An anaerobic organism that is only able to ferment lactose.

         B. A facultative aerobic organism that is in an environment that lacks oxygen but is rich in

         nitrate which can serve as a terminal electron acceptor

I need help with the details of the question (describe how the organisms would make ATP in the environment they are found. detail each of the pathways, including the starting products, end products, components of the ETC (if applicable), how the cell makes ATP during this process, where in the cell each of these pathways occur and  the transport mechanism(s) utilized to move the starting products from the environment into the cell. (the bolded part is what im mainly confused and need help on, as well as part b)
