What is the chemical equation of lactic acid fermentation?

1 answer:

5 0

Lactic acid fermentation is the conversion of sugars to lactic acid. The fermentation of glucose to lactic acid is C6H12O6 --> 2CH3CH(OH)CO2HAlcoholic fermentation is the oxidation of sugars to produce ethanol and CO2. This is used to produce beer and wine. The fermentation of glucose to ethanol and CO2 is C6H12O6 --> 2CH3CH2OH + 2CO2<span>Anaerobic respiration is the breakdown of energy rich molecules without sufficient quantities of oxygen present. In human muscles, it is the same equation-wise as lactic acid fermentation, which is C6H12O6 --> 2CH3CH(OH)CO2H. Lactic acid requires oxygen to break it down further.</span>

Which flowchart correctly shows how genes are inherited?. . A. DNA→ RNA→ protein→ trait. . B. trait→DNA→ protein→ RNA. . C. RNA→

WINSTONCH [101]

I believe the correct answer among the choices presented above is option A. The flow that correctly shows how genes are inherited is DNA→ RNA→ protein→ trait. The DNA gets transcripted into RNA which is translated to the proteins which turns into traits.

What is the empty structure in the cytoplasm

qwelly [4]

The Golgi bodies are the empty structure in the cytoplasm. The Golgi apparatus or Golgi complex is found in most cells. It is another packaging organelle like the endoplasmic reticulum<span> (ER). It was named after Camillo Golgi, an Italian biologist. It is pronounced GOL-JI in the same way you would say squee-gie, as soft a "G" sound. While layers of membranes may look like the rough ER, they have a very different function. </span>

Whats the difference between genotype and phenotype.

Olegator [25]

$\huge{\green}\fcolorbox{blue}{cyan}{\bf{\underline{\red{\color{red}Answer}}}}$

The genotype is a set of genes in the DNA which are responsible for the unique trait or characteristics.
Whereas the phenotype is the physical appearance or characteristic of the organism.
Thus, we can find the human genetic code with the help of their genotype.
Organisms may look the same but still may not have the same genotype.
One can determine the genotype by the biological tests.
On the other hand, the phenotype is determined by an individual’s genotype and can be expressed as genes or by the visible traits.
Such traits are hair color or type, eye color body shape, and height, and many such more.
It will depend on the genotype but also influenced by the factors existing in the surrounding.
