You determined the number of total cells found in each culture and find that one e has more cells than the other. Which culture would have the greater cell density, the one grown aerobically or the one grown anaerobically? Explain why the culture you chose above can make more cells with the same amount of glucose than the other culture. The cells of both cultures convert glucose to pyruvate via glycolysis, and then further metabolize pyruvate. Are the cells of both cultures able to obtain the same amount of ATP from glycolysis? Explain.

Question
You inoculated two test tubes with the same amount of identical growth medium and with
the presence or absence of oxygen. After 12 hours, all of the glucose in each culture has been
consumed. You determined the number of total cells found in each culture and find that one
culture has more cells than the other.
