|
Assume you are working for a chemical company and are responsible for growing a yeast culture that produces ethanol. The yeasts are growing well on the maltose medium but are not producing alcohol. What is the most likely explanation? |
O2 is in the medium |
|
Which of the following uses glucose a for carbon and energy |
Chemoheterotroph |

A bacterial culture grown in a glucose peptide medium causes the ph to increase. The bacteria are most likely |
Using the peptides |
|
Which of the following is the best definition of fermentation |
Oxidation of glucose with organic molecules serving as electron acceptors |
|
An enzyme citrate synthase in the Keres cycle in inhibited by ATP. This is an example of all the following except |
Competitive inhibition |
|
Which of the following statement about substrate level phosphorylation is false |
The oxidation of intermediate metabolic releases energy that used to generated ATP |
|
A strictly fermentative bacterium produces energy
|
By glycolysis only |
|
C2H5OH C2H3OOH |
This process requires O2 |
|
Which of the following is the best definition of fermentation? |
The oxidation of glucose with organic molecules serving as electron acceptors |
|
Which of the following statements about photophosphorylation is false? |
It requires CO2. |
|
Beggiatoa bacteria get energy by oxidizing S2- to S6+. This means they take ________ for their ________ |
electrons; electron transport chain |
|
Which of the following statements about anaerobic respiration is false? |
It involves glycolysis only. |
|
Which of the following is the best definition of oxidative phosphorylation? |
The energy released as carrier molecules are oxidized is used to generate ATP. |
|
A shipping company employee notices that the inside of ships' hulls where ballast water is stored are deteriorating. The hull paint contained cyanide to prevent microbial growth. Bacteria were growing on the hulls. You can therefore conclude that the |
Bacteria were growing by fermentation. |
|
Gallionella bacteria can get energy from the reaction Fe2+ → Fe3+. This reaction is an example of |
Oxidation. |
|
C6H12O6 2C2H5OH + 2CO2 |
This process occurs anaerobically. |
|
Which of the following is NOT necessary for respiration |
Oxygen |
|
The rates of O2 and glucose consumption by a bacterial culture are shown in Figure 5.6. Assume a bacterial culture was grown in a glucose medium without O2. Then O2 was added at the time marked X. The data indicate that |
Aerobic metabolism is more efficient than fermentation. |
|
Fatty acids are catabolized in |
The Krebs cycle |
|
What is the fate of pyruvic acid in an organism that uses aerobic respiration? |
It is oxidized in the Krebs cycle |
|
How would a noncompetitive inhibitor interfere with a reaction involving the enzyme |
it bind to the enzyme |
|
An enzyme, citrate synthase, in the Krebs cycle is inhibited by ATP. This is an example of all of the following EXCEPT |
Competitive inhibition. |
|
A urease test is used to identify Myobacterium tuberculosis because |
M. tuberculosis produces urease |
|
Which of the following compounds is NOT an enzyme |
