Some microorganisms such as yeast produce energy in oxygen free environments through what process

Biology

rusak2 [61]3 years ago
7 0
Some microorganisms such as yeast produce energy in oxygen-free environments through anaerobic cellular respiration.  Anaerobic cellular respiration is where oxygen is not used. Yeast produces energy by converting sugars into alcohol, gas or acetic acid. <span>This process is called fermentation. </span>Ethanol is a by-product of fermentation.  Humans have used fermentation to produce food and drink since the Neolithic Age. Fermentation makes yoghurt from milk by producing lactic acid. It also produces alcoholic beverages such as wine from grapes.

Insects often act as pollinators for plants. In turn, plants provide these insects with food. What kind of a relationship exists
sesenic [268]
A very strong relationship. I'll take the easiest example :the bees. They are so important for our planet. Without them, we and all living creatures on earth would be on track to dispariton. Let me explain why. At first, the bees need the nectar from flowers to make honey ( source of food ). As they pollen from flower to flower, they transport pollen on their tiny little legs and in this way, they help the plants to reproduce themselves. If, for some reason, there will be no more bees. Plants and flowers will not thrive, plants will be eaten without having contribued to the productivity of the species and they will go out. No plants, no more veggies or fruits for herbivorous and humans, no more herbivorous no more food for carnivorous, etc. Also, without plants, there will be less oxygen on our planet. Slowly the fauna and flora will die on earth and then it will be our turn. That is why relationships with plants and insects are so important. Plants produce oxygen for all of us and they are a natural and healthy source of food and insects help plants to survive and thus save the species.

If we add the hydrogen peroxide with a graduated cylinder that had vinegar in it, the sample could get contaminated with a(n) __
Lyrx [107]
Sample could get contaminated with an acid. because vinegar contains acetic acid.Acetic acid is the second simplest carboxylic acid (after formic acid) and consists of two small functional groups, an acetyl group (sometimes symbolized as Ac) and a hydroxyl group (AcOH); it can also be viewed as a methyl group and a carboxyl group linked. It is an important chemical reagent and industrial chemical

Nitrate acts as a poison by interfering with oxidative enzymes. oxidizing hemoglobin to methemoglobin, which cannot carry oxygen
xxMikexx [17]

Explanation:

Methemoglobin (metHb) is an oxidized derivative of hemoglobin in which heme iron is in the ferric (Fe3+) or oxidized state rather than the ferrous (Fe2+) or reduced state. Small amounts of methemoglobin normally are formed daily, associated with the release of oxygen from hemoglobin (auto-oxidation).

Methemoglobin cannot bind oxygen, which means it cannot carry oxygen to tissues. It is bluish chocolate-brown in color. In human blood a trace amount of methemoglobin is normally produced spontaneously, but when present in excess the blood becomes abnormally dark bluish brown. The NADH-dependent enzyme methemoglobin reductase (a type of diaphorase) is responsible for converting methemoglobin back to hemoglobin.

Normally one to two percent of a person's hemoglobin is methemoglobin; a higher percentage than this can be genetic or caused by exposure to various chemicals and depending on the level can cause health problems known as methemoglobinemia. A higher level of methemoglobin will tend to cause a pulse oximeter to read closer to 85% regardless of the true level of oxygen saturation. An abnormal increase of methemoglobin will increase the oxygen binding affinity of normal hemoglobin, resulting in a decreased unloading of oxygen to the tissues.
