Answer: d). Mining allows useful minerals to be extracted from the Earth.

Explanation:

Mining is a process of extraction of useful minerals from the surface, subsurface and deep regions of the earth which are of economic importance. The mining involves the formation of a huge crator on the land and underwater regions which takes long time to recover. It exerts a drastic ecological impact that is it destroys the habitat of plants and animals. The soil of the mining site becomes infertile.

On the basis of above information, d. Mining allows useful minerals to be extracted from the Earth is the correct option.

A mutant strain of yeast is able to produce 2 ATP for each glucose molecule digested in the absence of oxygen. What makes this s
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

Normally, under anaerobic condition in yeast, pyruvate produced from glycolysis leads to the production of ethanol as shown below.

pyruvate ⇒ acetaldehyde + NADH ⇒ ethanol + NAD

The pyruvate is converted to acetaldehyde by the enzyme, pyruvate decarboxylase. It should be NOTED that carbon dioxide is released in this step. The acetaldehyde produced in the "first step" is then converted to ethanol by the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase. It must be noted from the above that the steps are irreversible.

If a mutated strain of yeast is unique because it does not produce alcohol and lactic acid (which is referred to as toxic acid in the question); thus having a high level of pyruvate because of the presence of a novel enzyme.   <u>The function of this novel enzyme will most likely be the conversion of acetaldehyde in the presence of carbondioxide back to pyruvate; thus making that step reversible</u>. This could be a possible explanation for the high level of pyruvate present in the yeast.
