1. Why is the ability to perform lactic acid fermentation important to an animal cell when oxygen is scarce?
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

Fermentation is important can keep obtaining energy from glycolysis.

Explanation:

In the presence of oxygen, cells will use aerobic respiration to obtain energy in the form of ATP. In these conditions, it can produce up to 36 ATP molecules.

This process has three steps: glycolysis, citric acid cycle and electron transport chain.

During glycolysis, a glucose molecule is broken down into two pyruvate molecules, releasing electrons that are taken up by NAD+ which is converted into NADH, and producing a net total of 2 ATP molecules. The NADH produced during glycolysis and the citric acid cycle will go to the mitochondria and give away the electrons to start the electron transport chain that has Oxygen as the last electrons acceptor, and the NAD+ used to continue glycolysis is regenerated in the process.

In anaerobic conditions (no oxygen), the last electron acceptor is scarce, so the NADH can't give away its electrons and the NAD+ cannot be regenerated, so glycolysis stops, eventually causing cell death due to lack of ATP. To avoid this, cells perform lactic acid fermentation, where the NADH gives the electrons to pyruvate which is then converted into lactic acid. This regenerates the NAD+ necessary to continue glycolysis and keep obtaining some energy to survive until oxygen levels increase.

One negative side effect of with anaerobic synthesis of energy is that a by-product of glycolysis is ________.
dem82 [27]

One negative side effect of with anaerobic synthesis of energy is that a by product of glycolysis is lactic acid

lactic acid cause muscle fatigue and post exercise  muscle soreness. when you exercise the body uses oxygen to break down glucose for energy. when one do intensive exercise, oxygen may not be enough therefore lactic acid is produced.

Which organelle do you think would kill you the fastest if you lost it?
irina1246 [14]

The answer is mitochondrion. Mitochondria are critical for the cell’s biochemical processes that require energy to be powered. Mitochondria are responsible for generating this power in the form of ATP through a process called chemiosmosis. Without ATP, the cell would immediately die since it would be incapable of performing virtually all biochemical processes that re required to sustain life.
