- Chemolithotrophs meet their energy needs by oxidizing organic food molecules. True False Which of the following events does not occur during the energy-investment phase of glycolysis? Hexokinase catalyzes the transfer of a phosphate group from ATP to glucose to form glucose-6-phosphate. Phosphofructokinase catalyzes the isomerization of glucose-6-phosphate to fructose-6-phosphate. Fructose-bisphosphate aldolase cleaves Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate into two different three-carbon sugars. Dihydroxyacetone phosphate can be converted to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate with the help of the enzyme triose phosphate isomerase.arrow_forwardI am needing help with 1 through 3, please 1) Using the graphs, indicate if the data supports or does not support the hypothesis: The rate of balloon inflation will be directly proportional to the amount of sugar added to the yeast solution.

- For the production of a secondary metabolic by Streptomyces coelicolor, a fed batch was performed. At the end of the single batch phase, the following conditions were reached in the reactor: V=10000L, cell concentration X=10g/L and product concentration P=0.1g/L. The feeding was then started with constant flow F= 200L/h, for 100h. Knowing that the substrate concentration in the feeding medium was SF= 80g/L and in the fermentation medium it was practically null, calculate: a) The final concentration of cells and productb) If the reactor were fed with a constant dilution rate (D), what should be the value of D used to reach the same cell concentration obtained in the situation with constant flow?μp= 0.01 g of product/ (g of cells.h)Y x/s = 0.15g cells/g of substratearrow_forwardAnalysis that compares the results obtained from the growth of S. thermophilus under varying temperatures and pH conditions.
