We have discussed fermentation as a mechanism for regeneration of NAD for glycolysis under conditions when an ETC is not available for NAD regeneration. Embden-Meyerhof glycolysis converts one NAD to NADH for each molecule of pyruvate produced. Fermentation of pyruvate to propionic acid converts one NADH to NAD for each molecule of pyruvate fermented. Which of the following statements is TRUE of metabolism under conditions that force the use of pyruvate fermentation to propionate?
It should be possible to perform both Embden-Meyerhof glycolysis and run the Krebs cycle under these conditions.
Enzymes that ferment pyruvate to propionate are expressed under all conditions of growth
An appropriate electron acceptor for ETC is lacking under these conditions.
Regeneration of NAD occurs by reduction of NADH
An appropriate electron acceptor for ETC is lacking under these conditions.
Propionic acid bacteria (also known as propionibacteria) are Gram-positive, anaerobic bacteria that means that they are unable to use oxygen as a terminal electron acceptor in the ETC.

EXERCISE 5B CELLULAR RESPIRATION Alcoholic Fermentation by Yeast OBJECTIVES the completion of this exercise the student should be able to Upon 1 distinguish between the dependent and independent variables in a controlled experiment. . formulate a basic hypothesis. measure the volume of carbon dioxide generated by anacrobic fermentation in baker's 3. yeast. 4. express data in tabular form. 5, relate data generated in an experiment to a hypothesis previously formulated 6. graph data, calculate the slope of a line, and...
Bio 121 I need to make (yeast fermentation) lab report. This is the lab experiment and results: This is a guide to making the lab report: General Biology BIO121 Yeast Fermentation Lab Introduction Organisms stay alive by the utilization of energy through metabolism. The energy acquiring pathways in photosynthesis convert radiant energy from the sun into the chemical bond energy of carbohydrates. This photosynthetic process is limited to the producers or autotrophs, which include plants, photosynthetic bacteria and some protists....
1. According to the paper, what does lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) do and what does it allow to happen within the myofiber? (5 points) 2. According to the paper, what is the major disadvantage of relying on glycolysis during high-intensity exercise? (5 points) 3. Using Figure 1 in the paper, briefly describe the different sources of ATP production at 50% versus 90% AND explain whether you believe this depiction of ATP production applies to a Type IIX myofiber in a human....
