Alcoholic fermentation is an anaerobic (non-oxygen-requiring) pathway capable of converting one mole of glucose (C6H12O6) into two moles of ethanol (C2H5OH) and two moles of carbon dioxide (CO2), producing during this process two moles of ATP. The overall chemical reaction is as follow: C6H12O6 (glucose) >> 2 C2H5OH (ethanol) + 2 CO2. During this process (fermentation), energy is obtained from the glycolysis process by which each glucose molecule is broken down into two pyruvate molecules (2 CH3COCOO−). Pyruvic acid is an organic acid that ionizes to produce a hydrogen ion and a molecule of pyruvate. Subsequently, this pyruvate is then converted into ethanol and CO2, generating NAD+, i.e., the oxidized form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide or NAD, which is required for glycolysis (and therefore to produce ATP). Moreover, dismutation refers to the redox reaction by which one compound with an intermediate oxidation state converts into two compounds. In consequence, the CO2 generated during fermentation arises from the dismutation of pyruvic acid. During this process, the major source of CO2 is carbon 3 (C3) and carbon 4 (C4) of the glucose as a result of the dismutation of pyruvate, and thereby these positions in the glucose molecule would the C14 label need to be incorporated.
Behavioural Adaptation: A Red Belly Black Snakes is able to find small positions to get away from predators, as they have adapted to hide in small cracks, holes and logs as this enables the snake to get away from predators.
Silent mutations have no observable effect while neutral mutations does not cause harm or benefit the organism in any way. Missense mutations are single nucleotide changes that only affect one codon and one protein. In this case answer is frameshift mutation because this type of mutation is result of DNA insertion or deletion which changes the way DNA sequence is read and may affect more than one gene.
The process of cellular respiration for a particular cell, depending on its efficiency can produce up to B. 38 ATP molecules, most of which come from chemiosmosis and the electron transport chain.
