In most hypotheses of early Earth and the formation of life, it is accepted that the atmosphere was a reducing one. This means t

hat there was an abundance of methane, ammonia, and water vapor, but there was an absence of significant amounts of oxygen gas. Based on this assumption, what was likely the first metabolic activity to harness ATP to evolve in primitive cells?
A) Photosynthesis, as plants evolved before animals
B) Cellular respiration, as this generates the most ATP
C) Glycolysis, as this does not require organelles not oxygen
D) Calvin cycle, as glucose was required by all cells for metabolism

Answer:

C

Explanation:

It is believed that glycolysis – the first phase of cellular respiration in eukaryotic cells- is considered an ancient biochemical process that early organisms utilized to tap the energy required for cell functions. This is because the process does not require oxygen – because early conditions on earth were anoxic before the great oxygenation event.  It is after the great oxygenation event that the Krebs cycle evolved.

Select the correct statement about cellular respiration.
weeeeeb [17]

I dont want to mislead you, but I believe the answer is A because letter B is wrong because plants go through cellular respiration and photosynthesis, whereas animals go through cellular respiration but not photosynthesis, and for C, I've never heard of that so it doesnt seem likely.

Cultures of a bacterial species were incubated on the shelf of a refrigerator (5 C), out on a lab bench top (22 C), on the shelf
Setler79 [48]

D) Psychrotrophs.

Explanation:

  • Psychrotrophs are those bacteria which can tolerate cold temperature and have optimum growth above 15 degree Celsius.
  • Halophiles prefer high salt concentration.
  • Mesophiles prefer temperatures with a average of 37 degree Celsius.
  • Anaerobes grow in absence of oxygen.
  • In the given experiment, none of the bacterial cultures were placed in saline or anaerobic conditions. So, the bacterial species is not an anaerobe or halophile.
  • Again the cultures did not show growth at 37 degree celsius so they are not mesophiles.
  • Maximum growth at 22 degree celsius and a little growth in refrigerator make it obvious that the species is a Psychrotroph.
