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?
Name the components of the hexose-monophosphate pathway that detoxify peroxide and the process that accomplishes detoxification.
Besides the final product, what other important difference is there between the fermentation pathways of E. coli? Or, in other words, for what purpose does the cell activate the fermentative pathways when there is lack of oxygen?

Based on these characteristics, where are they typically found? The functional properties are linked to protein structural characteristics that imparts unique functional properties. For alkaliphiles and thermophiles, what structural elements (or characteristics) within the enzyme structure create these unique properties? See Table 2. Briefly discuss how the unique properties of these enzymes may be beneficial to the design of bioseparation processes. To recover intracellular enzymes, the Archae need to be lysed.

- Why are there reversible steps in the glycolytic pathway? Explain why they all be could not be irreversible?arrow_forwardWhen the O2 supply from blood fails to meet the demand of O2-consuming cells, oxygen deprivation (hypoxia) occurs. This is common, for example,in exercising muscle. It has been recognized for over 100 years that O2-deprived cells show increased conversion of glucose to lactate, known as the Pasteur effect. Activation of the Pasteur effect during hypoxia is mediated by hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1). HIF-1 is a transcription factor that upregulates the expression of several glycolytic enzymes that support the increased glycolytic ATP production as mitochondria become starved for O2. At the same time glycolysis is increasing, the rate of mitochondrial respiration decreases. New research reveals that in addition to upregulating enzymes in the glycolytic pathway, HIF-1 also induces the expression of cytoplasmic lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and mitochondrial pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDK).(a) Explain why glucose consumption must increase in hypoxic tissues toprovide the same amount…arrow_forwardWhen the O2 supply from blood fails to meet the demand of O2-consuming cells, oxygen deprivation (hypoxia) occurs.

- In aerobic respiration, cells generate heat as they grow. The amount of heat generated by cells is proportional to the amount of oxygen they consume. Accordingly, it was found that 460 kJ is generated per gmol of O2 consumed. Suppose that you need to choose a fermenter for optimal growth of Bacillus subtilis cells. It is known that the maximum oxygen demand of B. subtilis is 100 mol m3 h1. A vendor offers you a reactor with a cylindrical shape (2.8 m in diameter) and 15 m³ volume. The reactor includes a cooling coil with 30 m length and a pipe diameter of 6 cm, through which. For practical purposes, power input by the rotating impeller inside the bioreactor can be neglected. Does this reactor meet the cooling requirements of your production process?
