What would be the net ATP production if only one of the two Glyceraldehyde 3-­‐phosphates could be oxidized to pyruvic acid by a fermenting organism? a. 0 (6-­‐6;In) 5. A certain bacterium is inoculated into a PR lactose tube and a PR glucose tube. After 24 hours, the PR glucose is turbid and yellow with a bubble in the Durham tube. The PR lactose has not changed. Which is consistent with these observations? b. The organism ferments glucose but not lactose. (6-­‐6;An) 6. (6-­‐7;An) 7. Sucrose is a disaccharide made of a glucose bonded to a fructose. When a pure bacterial culture is incubated anaerobically in a validated (that is, base broth was run) PR sucrose, no color change or turbidity is observed. When a pure culture of the same bacterium is incubated anaerobically in a phenol red medium with glucose, the broth turns yellow. What conclusion is consistent with these observations? b. The bacteria can’t ferment sucrose because they lack an enzyme to digest it. What conclusion can you make about the bacteria in Question #6 concerning their ability to grow aerobically? e. There is not enough information given to make a conclusion. (6-­‐9;Ap) 8. Which of these has the potential to provide the greatest amount of energy to a cell? e. Oxidation of glucose to pyruvate. (6-­‐10;T) 9. When an organism converts glucose into carbon dioxide and ethanol to synthesize ATP, the synthesis of ATP occurs by: b. substrate phosphorylation. (6-­‐11;Ap) 10. In anaerobic respiration, the final electron acceptors receive the electrons at a higher energy level than oxygen does, so fewer molecules of ATP are produced per NADH and FADH2. One estimate suggests that with nitrate (NO3) as the electron receptor, NADH and FADH2 are each worth one ATP less than when cells respire aerobically. How many ATP are produced per glucose when certain bacterial cells respire anaerobically with nitrate as the final electron acceptor? c. 26 CALCULATION: 10 NADH X 2 ATP/NADH 2 FADH2 X 1 ATP/FADH2 SUBSTRATE PHOSPHORYLATION (6-­‐12;An) 11.

Fats can be used as an energy source by removing two-­‐carbon fragments from the fatty acids and attaching them to Coenzyme A to form acetyl CoA.
