(a)
To determine: The reason that fermentation cease when the supply of phosphate was exhausted.
Introduction:
In 1906, Young and Harden studied the fermentation of glucose to carbon dioxide and ethanol by extracts of brewer’s yeast. They made the following observations: (1) Inorganic phosphate was necessary for fermentation, when the phosphate supply was exhausted, fermentation ceased before all glucose was used. (2) During fermentation ethanol, a hexose bisphosphate and carbon dioxide accumulated. (3) When arsenate was substituted for phosphate, there was no accumulation of hexose bisphosphate, but the fermentation proceeds until the conversion of whole glucose into carbon dioxide and ethanol.
(b1)
To determine: The reason for accumulation of ethanol and CO2.
Introduction:
Fermentation is a chemical process in which glucose is broken down into ethanol or lactic acid. This process occurs anaerobically. It is carried out by yeast or other microorganism.
(b2)
To determine: Whether the conversion of pyruvate to ethanol and CO2 essential.

Fermentation is a chemical process in which glucose is broken down into ethanol or lactic acid. This process occurs anaerobically. It is carried out by yeast or other microorganism.
(b3)
To determine: The hexose bisphosphate that get accumulated.
Introduction:
In 1906, Young and Harden studied the fermentation of glucose to carbon dioxide and ethanol by extracts of brewer’s yeast. They made certain observations.
(b4)
To determine: The reason for accumulation of hexose bisphosphate.
Introduction:
In 1906, Young and Harden studied the fermentation of glucose to carbon dioxide and ethanol by extracts of brewer’s yeast. They made certain observations.
(c)
To determine: The reason for the substitution of arsenate for phosphate that prevents the accumulation of the hexose bisphosphate yet allows fermentation to ethanol and carbon dioxide to go to completion.

- The following data were recorded for the enzyme catalyzed conversion of S -> P Question: what would the rate be at 5.0 x 10-5 M [S] and the enzyme concentration was doubled? Also, the rate given in the table is from product accumulation after 10 minuets of reaction time. Verify these rates represent a true initial rate (less than 5% turnover). Please helparrow_forwardThe following data was obtained on isocitrate lyase from an algal species. Identify the reaction catalyzed by this enzyme, deduce the KM and Vmax , and determine the nature of the inhibition by oxaloacetate. Please helparrow_forwardIn the table below, there are sketches of four crystals made of positively-charged cations and negatively-charged anions. Rank these crystals in decreasing order of stability (or equivalently increasing order of energy). That is, select "1" below the most stable (lowest energy) crystal. Select "2" below the next most stable (next lowest energy) crystal, and so forth. A B 鹽 (Choose one) +2 C +2 +2 (Choose one) D 鹽雞 (Choose one) (Choose one)arrow_forward
