Answer:
A. The bacteria are breaking down sugars in the absence of oxygen.
Explanation:
Bacteria are microscopic single-celled organims. These organisms may produce their own source of chemical energy, or consume and absorb chemical energy made by producers.
They break down chemical energy like glucose through lactic acid fermentation in their cytoplasm, without the presence of oxygen.
In Glycolysis:
2 molecules of ATP are used to break up glucose into 2 molecules of pyruvate, 4 ATP and 2 electron carrying NADH molecules. Since 2 ATP are used, a net 2ATP are produced by this process.
Then, pyruvate is converted to lactic acid, producing 2 NAD+, used as electron carriers.

Answer: The chemical reaction in this example is Called hydrolysis in the presence of Lactase
Here is a word equation for the hydrolysis of lactose:
lactose + water → galactose + glucose
Explanation: The equation is called <hydro> + <lysis) of these terms refer to water and splitting respectively. So hydrolysis means splitting with water. Enzymes pull out a monomer by examining where the monomers are connected, and placing a water molecule in between them, resulting in the breakage of the bond between the monomers. Here are two picture to represent it.
