1. With the prevalence in food of peeled cereals or bread made from high-grade flour,
hypovitaminosis B1 may occur. Explain the role that vitamin B, plays in the body.
For this:
a) name the coenzyme which contains vitamin B, and enzymes, which require
this cocnzyme to function;
b) write the process in which these enzymes are involved and explain how the
process speed will change with a lack of B,;
d) what discase develops in the absence of vitamin B,.
Explain the process of nitrogen fixation and why it is crucial to all life on earth.

You set up two cultures with an equal amounts of Escherichia coli. You label one culture "A" and the other "B." Each culture is given 100mL of tryptic soy nutrient broth. You then take culture A and incubate it in the absence of oxygen and take culture B and incubate it in the presence of oxygen for one week. If E. coli is able to use both aerobic and anaerobic metabolism, the how would we classify it? Is it an obligate aerobe, obligate anaerobe, or a facultative anaerobe?

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%.
