Question

When a microorganism such as e. Coli is grown on glucose, it is

Answer 1

Explanation:

B) it is capable of amino acid production.

Proteins are structural support molecules comprised of long chains of amino acids joined via peptide (CONH) bonds; these are 20 specific units that are arranged into several macromolecules. Amino acids are absorbed through digestion and are incorporated into the body’s cells to make up organs muscles signal molecules and an alternative energy source.

Basic makeup: C, H, O, N, S; polar C, O double bonds and N-H bonding

Glucose is the favored source of carbon (over others like xylose) for many organisms as it can be immediately processed for energy generation in cellular metabolic processes like respiration. This energy produced in the form of ATP is used for other reactions involved in growth and development. These include the urea and citric acid cycle where all amino acids (except eight) are produced as reaction byproducts.
