Answer 1

Syntrophy means: "D. Multiple organisms needed to complete a metabolic pathway with negative dG."

​​​​​​Two or more organisms work together to produce an energetically feasible reaction which otherwise would not be feasible. On e organism uses the waste products if another organism in its metabolism.
