Milk is converted to yogurt under certain conditions when the microorganisms in the milk produce acid. Which of these processes would you expect to be key in the production of yogurt?
a. Photosynthesis
b. Lactic acid fermentation
c. Krebs cycle
d. Alcoholic fermentation
Answer:
b. Lactic acid fermentation
Explanation:
Lactic acid fermentation occurs when pyruvate formed by glycolysis is reduced into lactate under the anaerobic conditions. The NADH serves as an electron donor for the reduction of pyruvate into lactic acid. Lactic acid bacteria are the anaerobic bacteria that ferment the milk sugar lactose into lactic acid. This converts the milk into yogurt. <em>Lactobacillus, Streptococcus salivarius</em>, etc. are mostly responsible for the conversion of milk into yogurt.
Answer: Agriculture is increasingly harming the environment for multiple reasons. One being deforestation. Deforestation reduces ecological services it provides humans produces large amounts of Carbon Dioxide which adds to greenhouse gases -> which add to our current problem with climate change. Additionally, the pesticides and fertilizers agriculture uses can be harmful to the nearby ecosystems as it can end up in surrounding rivers which causes it to cycle back.

The conversion of light energy into chemical energy. (use of energy)
Answer: Option (C)
Explanation: The rocks at the continental crust are present since a long time, and the oldest rocks so far encountered from the continental crust is approximately 4.4 billion years old.
This has been determined by the Uranium-Lead dating method (Ur₂₃₈-Pb₂₀₆).
Oceanic rocks are estimated to be of very recent age i.e about only 180 million years old.
