LenKa [72]3 years ago
7 0

Protein lactoferrin is present in human body and it is found in certain body fluids such as saliva, breast milk and urine. The main function of protein lactoferrin is to bind with and transport iron in the body. When an infant absorb iron in breast milk, protein lactoferrin attaches to any of the extra iron that the infant does not absorb and stops it from allowing harmful pathogens such as bacteria to grow in the baby's gastrointestinal tract. Thus, protecting babies from illness and infections.

Which of the following statements regarding glycolysis is FALSE?
Levart [38]

Answer:

c. Glycolysis evolved in an oxygen-rich environment.

Explanation:

Glycolysis is the pathway that breaks down glucose into two molecules of pyruvate. It is a common pathway that is performed by both aerobic and anaerobic organisms. In aerobic organisms, glycolysis is followed by Kreb's cycle and electron transport chain. In anaerobic organisms, alcohol or lactic acid fermentation regenerate the NAD+ which is required to sustain glycolysis.

Therefore, glycolysis is independent of oxygen availability and can be performed under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. This means that the pathway of glycolysis evolved under anaerobic conditions.
