substrate-level phosphorylation

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.

H2S.

The use of enzymes is necessary to increase the activation energy requirements of a chemical reaction.

False

beta oxidation

Which of the following statements regarding the glycolysis pathway is FALSE?

What is the fate of pyruvic acid in an organism that uses aerobic respiration?

It is converted into acetyl CoA.

An enzyme, citrate synthase, in the Krebs cycle is inhibited by ATP. This is an example of all of the following EXCEPT

competitive inhibition.

Which of the following statements are TRUE?
1-Electron carriers are located at ribosomes.
2-ATP is a common intermediate between catabolic and anabolic pathways.
3-ATP is used for the long-term storage of energy and so is often found in storage granules.
4-Anaerobic organisms are capable of generating ATP via respiration.
5-ATP can be generated by the flow of protons across protein channels.

2, 4, 5

Microorganisms that catabolize sugars into ethanol and hydrogen gas would most likely be categorized as

heterolactic fermenters

The pentose phosphate pathway can be characterized as an anabolic pathway.

False

From the list below, which is NOT produced during the Krebs cycle?

NADPH

A bacterial culture grown in a glucose-peptide medium causes the pH to increase. The bacteria are most likely

Using the peptides

Assume you are growing bacteria on a lipid medium that started at pH 7. The action of bacterial lipases should cause the pH of the medium to

decrease (become more acidic).

Which of the following uses glucose for carbon and energy?

chemoheterotroph

Gallionella bacteria can get energy from the reaction Fe2+ → Fe3+. This reaction is an example of
