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. a) After 12 hours, all of the glucose in each culture has been consumed. You determine the number of total cells found in each culture and find that one culture has more cells than the other. Which culture would have the greater cell density, the one grown aerobically or the one grown anaerobically? Explain why the culture you chose above can make more cells with the same amount of glucose than the other culture.
