Answer:
D. There is no enough oxygen in the culture fluid
Explanation:
The cells in the test tube need to carryout one of the important metabolic processes of living organisms - respiration. The process involves the breakdown of glucose to generate energy for other metabolic processes in the cell.
Respiration can be carried out in the presence of oxygen (aerobic) or in the absence of oxygen (anaerobic). Human cells are primarily aerobic but can carryout respiration anaerobically in the presence of inadequate oxygen.
For aerobic respiration, glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen to produce carbon-dioxide, water and energy in the form of ATP:
<em>In the absence of oxygen, the glucose becomes converted to lactic acid and a smaller amount of ATP is produced as compared to aerobic respiration.</em>
<em>Hence, lactic acid gradually builds up in the absence of oxygen due to anaerobic respiration.</em>
The correct option is D.
Answer:
12 molecules of ATP can be made from one molecule of acetyl CoA.
Explanation:
If one molecule of acetyl CoA enter TCA cycle then it result in the formation of 3 molecules of NADH,1 molecule of FADH2 and 1 molecule of GTP that is equivalent to 1 molecule of ATP.
Now the reducing equivalent such as NADH and FADH2 enters electron transport chain and get oxidized to regenerate NAD+ and FAD along with ATP. 1 molecule of NADH produces 3 molecules of ATP whereas 1 molecule of FADH2 produces 2 molecules of ATP.
So that net gain of ATP is given below
3 molecules of NADH = 9 molecules of ATP
1 molecule of FADH2 =2 molecules of ATP
1 molecule of GTP = 1 molecule of ATP
As a result total 12 molecules of ATP is by the oxidation of 1 Acetyl CoA by TCA cycle .
Answer:
Bacteria
Explanation:
Bacteria have no true nucleus because it's a prokaryote. It couldn't have been a virus because all naturally occurring viruses are pathogenic unless treated by radiation.
We have two types of bacteria,
- Pathogenic
- Commensals
Pathogenic bacteria will definitely cause disease. Commensals, however, have don't harm us and have the ability to help us.
Eg: Flora (bacteria) in our intestines produce vitamin K and most of the vitamin B complex. They also compete with the pathogenic bacteria that you might've ingested and don't allow them to increase to the number that can cause disease.
Viruses reproduce by inserting their genetic code into the genetic code of a cell, from there, an active virus will copy itself over and over until that cell bursts, where the new viruses can repeat the process. Another type of virus inserts itself into the genetic code, but does not actively reproduce. It sits and waits for the cell to reproduce for it, by splitting in the way cells do.
