- Please answer the following question : (a.) and (b.)arrow_forwardYou 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?arrow_forwardLysine decarboxylase media is yellow after incubating an organism in it at 37 degrees for 24 hours. Which of the following can be interpreted from this result? A. The organism did not grow so lysine decarboxylase activity could not be determined. B. The organism is negative for lysine decarboxylase. C. The media is too acidic to determine lysine decarboxylase activity. D. The organism is positive for lysine decarboxylasearrow_forward
- Suppose a water sample with a known concentration of 100 coliforms/100 mL is tested using the multiple-tube fermentation method. Results show 5 positive tubes out of 10 in the 10 mL sample, 3 positive out of 10 in the 1 mL sample, and 1 positive out of 10 in the 0.1 mL sample. Calculate the MPN Index and discuss the potential sources of error in the MPN estimation process.arrow_forwardWhich is an efectrogenic pump? Select one: O A. sucrose cotransporter O B. Both Na+/K+ pump and H+ pump O C. glucose pump O D. Na+/K+ pump O E. H+ pumparrow_forwarda. Some microbes can utilize fermentation to make ATP. Compare and contrast fermentation and aerobic respiration, including the typical inputs and outputs of each. b. Two liquid culture flasks of E. coli are grown in the same medium (2% glucose and amino acids) and at the same temperature (37°C). Culture #1 is well aerated. Culture #2 is anoxic. After 16 hours, the following observations are made: • Culture # 1 has a high cell density; the cells appear to be in stationary phase, and the glucose level in the medium is reduced to 1.2%. • Culture #2 has a low cell density; the cells appear to be in logarithmic phase, although their doubling time is prolonged (over 1 hour). The glucose level is reduced to 0.2%. Why does Culture #2 have so little glucose remaining relative to Culture #1, even though Culture #2 displayed slower growth and has less biomass?arrow_forward
