If there was India Ink added to a culture of Paramecium caudatum, it would increase the average number of food vacuoles because India ink contains no sugar or nutrients and the formation of food vacuoles would be the first stage in the metabolic process when digesting nutrient-rich particles.
If Sugars (sucrose or mannitol) were added to this culture to modify extracellular solute concentration, what effect would we see in the microscopic in regards to the number of food vacuoles? Could sugars have other effects beyond altering solute concentration? Be metabolized?

If Sugars (sucrose or mannitol) were added to this culture to modify extracellular solute concentration, what effect would we see in the microscopic in regards to the number of food vacuoles and will the amount of food vacuoles change over time? Could sugars have other effects beyond altering solute concentration? Be metabolized?
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?
