When making bread with common yeast, the reaction starts as an aerobic process and then becomes an anaerobic process after the oxygen is spent. A baker has created a new strain of yeast which contains no cytochrome c gene and, thus, no cytochrome c protein. This will affect what the yeast strain can do to obtain energy.
What will this yeast strain do more of, compared to a normal strain?
A.
electron transport
B.
carbon dioxide production
C.
fermentation
D.
ATP synthesis
Which of the following statements is TRUE?
Select one:
A. Lactic acid is a product of aerobic respiration; ethyl alcohol is a product of fermentation.
B. Oxidation is the loss of electrons; reduction is the gain of electrons.
C. Oxygen is a product of cellular respiration; carbon dioxide is a product of photosynthesis.
D. Glucose is a product of aerobic respiration; lactic acid is a product of anaerobic respiration.
