The main source of carbon dioxide in an ecosystem is the carbon dioxide gas present in the atmosphere. This carbon dioxide is used by the  plants and animals in different ways.

The plants use this carbon dioxide to perform the process of photosynthesis.This is carried out by the help of green pigment called chlorophyll that absorbs light from the sun, water from soil and carbon dioxide from atmosphere.

The carbon in animals comes when they eat these plants.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae (a yeast species) mutants are available that grow on pyruvate or ethanol, but not sugars or glycerol.
mezya [45]

Answer:

The enzyme is the pyruvate kinase

Explanation:

The designated enzyme can only grow in pyruvate or in ethanol. They are said to be in anaerobic conditions. If the end product of glycolysis is pyruvate and the enzyme that transforms phosphoenol pyruvate into pyruvate is called pyruvate kinase. In a reaction under anaerobic conditions, the pyruvate is transformed into ethanol. So if the pyruvate kinase enzyme is mutated, pyruvate cannot be transformed into ethanol and Saccharomyces cerevisiae could not survive in that medium.
