You inoculate two test tubes with the same amount of identical growth medium and with the same number of
identical yeast cells and grow these cells under identical conditions except for the presence or absence of
oxygen.
b) 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.
Under anaerobic conditions, the carbon from pyruvate will ultimately be found in which molecule?
Under aerobic conditions, the carbon from pyruvate will ultimately be found in which molecule?
Besides the final product, what other important difference is there between the fermentation pathways of E. coli? Or, in other words, for what purpose does the cell activate the fermentative pathways when there is lack of oxygen?
Name the components of the hexose-monophosphate pathway that detoxify peroxide and the process that accomplishes detoxification.

- Which of the listed glycolytic enzymes adds a phosphate group to ADP to produce ATP? 1.) pyruvate kinase 2.) hexokinase 3.) phosphofructokinase-1 4.) pyruvate dehydrogenase 5.) phosphexose isomerase 6.) lactate dehydrogenasearrow_forwardWhen the O2 supply from blood fails to meet the demand of O2-consuming cells, oxygen deprivation (hypoxia) occurs. This is common, for example, in exercising muscle. It has been recognized for over 100 years that O2- deprived cells show increased conversion of glucose to lactate, known as the Pasteur effect. Activation of the Pasteur effect during hypoxia is mediated by hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1). HIF-1 is a transcription factor that upregulates the expression of several glycolytic enzymes that support the increased glycolytic ATP production as mitochondria become starved for O2. At the same time glycolysis is increasing, the rate of mitochondrial respiration decreases.
