A hypothesis is an educated guess while using reasonable thinking, about the answer to a scientific question. Although it is not proof in an experiment, it is the predicted outcome of the experimentation. It can either be supported or not supported at all, but it depends on the data gathered.
Milk is converted to yogurt under certain conditions when the microorganisms in the milk produce acid. Which of these processes would you expect to be key in the production of yogurt?
a. Photosynthesis
b. Lactic acid fermentation
c. Krebs cycle
d. Alcoholic fermentation
Answer:
b. Lactic acid fermentation
Explanation:
Lactic acid fermentation occurs when pyruvate formed by glycolysis is reduced into lactate under the anaerobic conditions. The NADH serves as an electron donor for the reduction of pyruvate into lactic acid. Lactic acid bacteria are the anaerobic bacteria that ferment the milk sugar lactose into lactic acid. This converts the milk into yogurt. <em>Lactobacillus, Streptococcus salivarius</em>, etc. are mostly responsible for the conversion of milk into yogurt.
Arteries are part of the circulatory system in the human
body that transports nutrients and oxygen to every cell of the body. It is also
a vessel that carries blood away from the heart and toward other organs and
tissues. If the smooth muscles in the arteries will be relaxed it decreases the
blood pressure.
