Answer:

The correct answer is: A) forms fewer ATP molecules than cellular respiration.

Explanation:

Alcoholic fermentation is an anaerobic process (made in absence of oxygen) in which <u>carbohydrates such as glucose and fructose are converted into </u><u>cellular energy</u><u>, with the production of </u><u>ethanol and carbon dioxide as by-products</u>. Alcoholic fermentation, however, only produces 2 ATP molecules as opposed to the 38 ATP molecules formed during cellular respiration.

Alcoholic fermentation is performed mostly by yeasts, and its products are used by humans in the making of alcoholic beverages such as beer and the cooking of bread.

Option B is incorrect because alcoholic fermentation is performed when there's no oxygen around, this makes it anaerobic.

Option C is false. There is fermentation occurring in the muscle cells of animals and humans but it's not alcoholic- it's lactic acid fermentation.

Option D is false as well because the end products are carbon dioxide and ethanol.

What is the final acceptor of electrons in the electron transport chain?
aksik [14]

The final acceptor of electrons in the electron transport chain is "C" , that is oxygen.

The electron transport  chain is composed of a series of electron carriers that operate together to transfer electrons from donors, like NADH and FADH2, to acceptors such as O2.

The electrons flow from carriers with more negative reduction potentials to those with more positive potentials and eventually combine with O2 and H+ to form water. 

The difference in reduction potentials between oxygen and NADH is large, about 1.14 volts and makes possible the release of a great deal of energy.

Describe how the lac operon functions, and explain how it permits E. coli to produce the enzymes needed to break down lactose wh
KiRa [710]
<span>The lac operon has three genes that encode for proteins that break down lactose into galactose and glucose. When there is no lactose around, it wouldn't make sense for the prokaryote to make these proteins as it would be a waste of energy. So, when there is no lasctose around, the lac repressor binds the operator region of the operon, which inhibits RNA polymerase's ability to bind and start gene expression. However, when lactose is available, it binds to the lac repressor and deactivates it via allosteric inhibition. Once the lac repressor is gone, the genes can be transcribed into mRNA which can be translated into proteins which can go and break down the lactose. </span>

Answer:

The correct answer is A. a greater accumulation of chapparal biomass.

Explanation:

The increase of rain leads to a greater accumulation of chapparal biomass, and then, when the winter is over, there's a big amount of dry biomass that can start fires.
