If a bacteria cannot ferment glucose, why not test its ability to ferment other carbohydrates?

nalin [4]1 year ago

If a bacteria cannot ferment glucose, then we do not test its ability to ferment other carbohydrates because the glucose is monosaccharides, the bacteria required enzymes that used to ferment glucose.

Bacteria cannot ferment carbohydrates because carbohydrates may include non-reducing sugar like sucrose and lactose, which is disaccharide, that must be cleaved into monosaccharides. Not all, bacteria can do this to may or may not ferment sucrose.

Many microorganism can grow in the base broth without the carbohydrates, but if they can ferment a sugar that is available. It is possible that one bacteria metabolize some sugar but can't work on other.

What is the main difference between aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration?
garri49 [273]
The main difference between aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration is that aerobic using oxygen in the reaction, while anaerobic does not.

Even though both aerobic and anaerobic respiration releases energy, but their reactants and other products are completely different.
For example in human, in aerobic respiration, oxygen and glucose reacts to give out carbon dioxide and water; while in anaerobic respiration, which usually happens during exercise when oxygen is not enough, the muscle cells uses only glucose to produce energy and lactic acid.

Therefore, the main difference is where aerobic uses oxygen, and anaerobic don’t.

explain how an element like carbon can be included in both the biotic and abiotic factorsof an ecosystem
Nadya [2.5K]
Well, the carbon cycle provides an example of matter cycling and energy flow in ecosystems. Photosynthesis, digestion of plant matter, respiration, and decomposition are important components of the carbon cycle, in which carbon is exchanged between the biosphere, atmosphere, oceans, and geosphere through chemical, physical, geological, and biological processes.
