Milk is converted to yogurt under certain conditions when the microorganisms in the milk produce acid. Which of these processes would you expect to be key in the production of yogurt?
a. Photosynthesis
b. Lactic acid fermentation
c. Krebs cycle
d. Alcoholic fermentation
Answer:
b. Lactic acid fermentation
Explanation:
Lactic acid fermentation occurs when pyruvate formed by glycolysis is reduced into lactate under the anaerobic conditions. The NADH serves as an electron donor for the reduction of pyruvate into lactic acid. Lactic acid bacteria are the anaerobic bacteria that ferment the milk sugar lactose into lactic acid. This converts the milk into yogurt. <em>Lactobacillus, Streptococcus salivarius</em>, etc. are mostly responsible for the conversion of milk into yogurt.
Hi there,
Speed of sound in water is approximately 1500 meters per second (the exact speed depends on the depth of water and its density) and the speed of sound in air is approximately 340 meters per second. So sound is almost 4.4 times faster in water than in air. I hope this helped :)
I believe the answer is B
Usually the y-axis stands for dependent variable while the x-axis stands for independent variable. And the curve stands for the relationship between the two variables. The control variable and measurement variable often means the independent variables.
