Lactic acid fermentation can be modeled by which equation?

Biology

Reptile [31]3 years ago
4 0

Lactic acid fermentation can be modeled by the following equation: Pyruvic acid + NADH → Lactic acid + NAD+

LACTIC ACID FERMENTATION:

  • Fermentation is a process undergone by some anaerobic organisms. Ideally, the process of cellular respiration proceeds as follows in the presence of oxygen: Glycolysis- Kreb cycle - ETC.

  • However, in the absence of oxygen (anaerobic condition), the product of glycolysis which is pyruvic acid combines with an electron carrier (NADH) to give rise to lactic acid and NAD+.

  • This means that pyruvic acid is reduced while NADH is oxidized as modelled in the following equation:

  • Pyruvic acid + NADH → Lactic acid + NAD+

marishachu [46]

Answer: the expression of certain genes is affected by temperature

Explanation:

For organisms to survive changing environmental conditions, a lot of molecular processes occur in the genes.

For the arctic fox, enzymes coded by specific genes are periodically "switched on or off" depending on the temperature.

Thus, the change in colour can be EXPLAINED by the expression of certain genes affected by temperature

lozanna [386]

Most bacteria live in a solution that is hypotonic relative to the cytoplasm of the bacteria. This means that the bacterial cell is constantly taking in water. The cell wall of a bacterium is a peptidoglycan polymer that is tightly cross-linked. This would therefore function to:_________-.

A. regulate the flow of most molecules into and out of the bacterial cell.

B. provide a rigid wall that prevents the cell from swelling.

C. provide a rigid wall that prevents the cell from shrinking.

D. confirm a close relationship to plant cells that have a similar structure and live in hypotonic solutions.

E. make all bacteria fairly uniform in metabolic chemistry.

Answer:

B. provide a rigid wall that prevents the cell from swelling.

Explanation:

When organisms are present in hypotonic surroundings, their cells that are in contact with the surroundings tend to gain water. Bacteria present in hypotonic solution would gain water as their cells are hypertonic than the surroundings. The entry of water would increase the volume of cytoplasm and could lead to the bursting of the cell. However, the presence of a cell wall made up of cross-linked peptidoglycan prevents the swelling of the bacterial cell and allow them to survive in hypotonic surroundings.
