You are growing yeast cells in a culture. After a few days of consistent growth, you notice that cell growth has slowed consider
BigorU [14]

The correct answer is C) There is not enough oxygen in the culture medium. This is because of alcoholic fermentation, and anaerobic process where the yeast transform sugar (glucose) in ethylic alcohol (ethanol) and carbon dioxide. Glucose is decomposed into pyruvic acid which then after turns into CO2 and ethanol. The bubbles described, are produced by the carbon dioxide.

The yeast, as well as some bacteria, use the glucose molecule through "glycolysis"  to obtain a 3-carbon molecule called pyruvates. Glycolysis consists of 10 coupled reactions, in the end, from one glucose (6 carbons) the yeast will obtain two pyruvates (3 carbons each).

Pyruvate can follow three main routes to obtain ATP, end up as lactate, as carbon dioxide (CO2) and water or as ethanol (alcohol) and CO2. Regarding yeast, it can only be used to obtain Ethanol plus CO2 or to obtain CO2 plus water.

The path that follows from here depends on the reaction medium. The cell gets much more energy (38 molecules of ATP) by converting pyruvate into water + CO2 than by turning it into ethanol + CO2 (2 molecules of ATP). Then, whenever possible, the yeast will follow the CO2 + water path. To support this route the cell needs oxygen.  In this case, the cell obtains its energy by breathing when there is no oxygen available, the yeast has a way that allows it to gain much less energy but allows it to survive, the alcoholic fermentation, previously mentioned.

Therefore, A, B, and D answers are wrong for the reasons mentioned above.

ATP is a good source of energy for cellular proceses because it has some weak, high energy bonds. Which one of the following sta
olga55 [171]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The structure of ATP is such that there are three (3) phosphate moelcules in sequence attached to the 5’ carbon of the ribose sugar ring. The O- groups of each phosphate are close to each other and are negatively charged. They, therefore, repel each ohtehr electrostatically and make ATP very unstable – hence considered weak bonds. ADP is more stable than ATP.  Nonetheless, phosphoanhydride bonds between the phosphate have high energy of ΔG of -30.5 kJ/mol. These characteristic make ATP ideal as ane energy currency since it is easy to hydrolyze while producing much energy.

A roller coaster track is 3000 meter long. It takes 100 second to travel once around the roller coaster. What is the average spe
sineoko [7]

Answer:

30meter per second

Explanation:

Given that

Distance = 3000 meters

Time = 100seconds

Speed = distance /time

Substituting the values

Speed = 3000/100

Speed = 30meter per second

The average speed needed to cover the travelling will be 30meter per second.
