A bacterium was grown in two test tubes filled with media rich in glucose. One tube was sealed to produce anaerobic conditions,

and the other was not. A third uninoculated, unsealed tube was used as a control. Glucose utilization by this bacterium causes acid production, which is indicated by a lightening of the media color. If the bacterium is able to produce ATP only by aerobic respiration, we expect lightening of media in ________.a. lightening of media in the sealed tube only b. lightening of media in the unsealed tube only c. lightening of media in the sealed and unsealed tubes only d. lightening of media in the control tube only

Answer:

The correct answer is: b. lightening of media in the unsealed tube only.

Explanation:

  • According to the question, the bacteria can undergo only aerobic respiration, that is it can produce its energy, that is, ATP, or adenosine triphosphate, only in the presence of oxygen.
  • The unsealed tube allowed air or oxygen to pass into it which can be used by the bacteria for its respiration. In the process, it will produce acid that will cause the media colour to lighten.
  • The sealed tube do not allow any oxygen to pass into it. As the given bacteria can undergo only aerobic respiration but not anaerobic respiration, in absence of oxygen it will not be able to undergo respiration and produce energy and acid. Hence, the media colour will remain unchanged.
  • The control tube is used to check the sterility of the media.

Which of the following is NOT true about ATP?
GaryK [48]
A option i.e; glucose breaks down into ATP without any initial energy input. (It just spontaneously happens) does not make sense to make while all other are correct. So, the best option will be the A. because A option is not true about ATP.

In which condition the substrate have faster diffusion rate
Sonja [21]

Answer:

: Notice the rate of diffusion increases as the concentration gradient increases. If the concentration of molecules outside the cell is very high relative to the internal cell concentration, the rate of diffusion will also be high.

Similar to the nucleus, chloroplasts and mitochondria are ______. select all that apply.
Ganezh [65]

Similar to the nucleus, chloroplasts and mitochondria are surrounded by double membrane. i.e., Double membrane bounded cell organelle.

Cell Organelle- An organelle is a subcellular structure that, like an organ in the body, has one or more specialized tasks to carry out within the cell. The nucleus, which house genetic material, the mitochondria, which generate chemical energy, and the ribosomes, which put together proteins, are some of the most significant cell organelles.

Ribosome- The process of making proteins in a cell takes place at an intercellular structure called a ribosome, which is formed of both RNA and protein. The messenger RNA (mRNA) sequence is read by the ribosome, which then converts the genetic code into a specific string of amino acids.
