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.

Answer:
Explanation:
The near-surface open water surrounded by the littoral zone is the limnetic zone. The limnetic zone is well-lighted (like the littoral zone) and is dominated by plankton, both phytoplankton and zooplankton. Plankton are small organisms that play a crucial role in the food chain.
Answer:
d. ATP; Fructose-2,6-bisphosphate
Explanation:
Phosphofructokinase-1 is the enzyme that catalyzes the formation of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate from fructose-6-phosphate and ATP. The phosphofructokinase step is the first rate-limiting step of glycolysis.
Phosphofructokinase-1 activity is allosterically regulated. Its activity is increased whenever the cell's ATP supply is depleted or when its breakdown products, ADP and AMP accuulates in he cell. However, it is inhibited when the cell is amply supplied with ATP.
The activity of phosphofructokinase-1 is restored by fructose-2,6-bisphosphate, its most potent activator.
From the given options:
a. AMP :::: citrate is wrong because AMP increases the activity of phosphofructokinase-1 and citrate is not its activator but an inhibitor
b. AMP :::: Fru-2,6-P2 is wrong because AMP increases its activity same as fructose-2,6-bisphosphate
c. ATP :::: citrate is wrong because both citrate and ATP are inhibitors
d. ATP :::: Fru-2,6-P2 is correct as explained above
e. All of these is wrong because of the other wrong options above.
