In the discussion box below, list your answer to the question and justify your answer. Also describe your thought process to how you answered the question. Lactic acid bacteria primarily use lactose as an energy source, but they also can use glucose, although using glucose for energy is a less efficient process than using lactose. Suppose that lactic acid bacteria are added to two solutions: Solution A contains only lactose and solution B contains only glucose. Both solutions are initially at pH 7. What will likely happen in these two solutions? The pH of solution A will become alkaline faster than solution B The pH of solution B will become alkaline faster than solution A The pH of solution A will become acidic faster than solution B The pH of solution B will become acidic faster than solution A
