The bacteria Lactobacillus acidophilus are frequently used in the production of yogurt. These bacteria use lactic acid fermentat

ion when oxygen is not available. What would happen to the bacteria under anaerobic conditions if the lactic acid fermentation pathway were blocked?
A.
The bacteria could no longer regenerate the NAD+ needed for glycolysis, so it would stop producing ATP.
B.
The bacteria could switch to using the Kreb's cycle, so it would continue producing ATP.
C.
The bacteria could no longer make the NADH needed for chemiosmosis, so it would stop producing ATP.
D.
The bacteria could switch to using alcohol fermentation, so it would continue producing ATP.

Answer:

A. The bacteria could no longer regenerate the NAD+ needed for glycolysis, so it would stop producing ATP.

Explanation:

According to the given information in this question, Lactobacillus acidophilus is a bacterium species that uses the lactic acid fermentation when there is no oxygen in its cell i.e. under anaerobic conditions. This means that it converts glucose to lactic acid during this anaerobic respiration process.

However, if the lactic acid fermentation pathway were blocked under an anaerobic condition, this means that it will be no longer be able to perform respiration and hence stop production of ATP. This is because the bacteria will no longer regenerate the NAD+ (electron acceptor) needed for glycolysis, so it would stop producing ATP. Note that, all living organisms, whether aerobic or anaerobic, undergo GLYCOLYSIS, which is the first stage of cellular respiration.

The episome in an Hfr strain is inserted near the trp (tryptophan operon) locus. This Hfr strain is grown with an F- Trp- strain
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

It is a typical Hfr mating, as trp gene is very closed to F plasmid, the Hfr bacteria donates its trp gene along with F plasmid and then process is disturbed.

You are unable to collect capillary blood from the finger of a child who has cold hands that appear bluish. What term is used to
HACTEHA [7]

Cyanotic is the term used to describe the colour of the child's skin in the documentation of failure to collect a specimen.

Cyanosis is characterized by a shift in the colour of human tissues to a bluish-purple tone. This colour change occurs as a consequence of reduced levels of oxygen being attached to the haemoglobin in the RBCs of the capillary bed. The lips, mucous membranes, nail beds, and ear lobes are among the most common areas on the body to exhibit cyanosis as these areas have thinner layers of skin than other parts of the body. In addition to cyanosis, a bluish discolouration of the skin tissue can be caused due to the consumption of food products with blue or purple dyes.
