The bacteria Lactobacillus acidophilus are frequently used in the production of yogurt. These bacteria use lactic acid fermentat

ion when oxygen is not available. What would happen to the bacteria under anaerobic conditions if the lactic acid fermentation pathway were blocked?
A. The bacteria could no longer regenerate the NAD+ needed for glycolysis, so it would stop producing ATP.

B. The bacteria could no longer make the NADH needed for chemiosmosis, so it would stop producing ATP.

C. The bacteria could switch to using alcohol fermentation, so it would continue producing ATP.

D. The bacteria could switch to using the Kreb's cycle, so it would continue producing ATP.

The right answer is A.

Lactic fermentation is a catabolic process, a fermentation, having as a starting point glycolysis, which produces an acid, lactic acid used to reoxidize NADH to NAD+, and by the way it produces energy in form of ATP.

In other words, lactic acid fermentation is a biological process by which sugars such as glucose, fructose, and sucrose are converted into cellular energy and metabolic byproduct, lactate. It is a lactic ferment that intervenes.

What might happen if genetically modified fish were introduced into an aquaculture facility?
charle [14.2K]
If a genetically modified fish was introduced into an aquaculture facility it may become an invasive species. This is because they do not support the naturally occurring processes that commercially raised fishes have. These invasive species have the ability to harm the thriving ecosystem of the aquaculture fishes, hence the probable decrease in its population might take effect.

tigry1 [53]
If we are talking cellular respiration, most energy would be found being used in either the Krebs Cycle or for ATP.
The glucose harvested and created by plants is used in cellular respiration to create carbon dioxide, though the energy that the glucose offers is then utilized to perform the Krebs Cycle and helps ATP function at it’s top rate.

ColE1 replication: What would happen if you over-expressed the first 600 base of RNA II by introducing a truncated copy of the R
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

It will lead to increase in DNA replication with a  corresponding increase   in copies of the plasmid. This is because the over expression will   enable RNA II to avoid   RNA 1 disruptions; now  with a corresponding increase in the primers (introduced), priming increases with consequent  increase in   DNA synthesis.
