- 4.Yeast is used as a leavening agent in bread-baking. In the presence of oxygen, the yeast feeds on sugars in the dough and performs aerobic respiration, producing carbon dioxide and water. This carbon dioxide is what helps the bread rise. When the dough goes inside a hot oven, the gas bubbles expand, giving you a nice, fluffy loaf! The yeast may also undergo anaerobic respiration if there is no access to oxygen, in which case the yeast produces carbon dioxide and ethanol (C2H5OH) instead.You feed your yeast pure glucose and let your bread rise. You bake bread in an oven at 175 degrees Celsius, producing 2.0 L of gaseous carbon dioxide and 0.050 L of gaseous ethanol. Barometric pressure is 760 mmHg.a.How much glucose was consumed? What percentage of the glucose was consumed via aerobic respiration? What percentage was consumed via anaerobic respiration?arrow_forwardYeast is used as a leavening agent in bread-baking.

Typically, organisms like the plastic-degrading bacteria produce organic acids through metabolism. a. How will the equilibrium in Reaction 1.1 shift if the bacteria produce organic acids? Explain your reasoning. b. Since pH is critical for optimal bacterial growth, would you expect the pH of the media to increase, decrease, or stay the same? Explain your reasoning.arrow_forward
- People who are both alcoholic andexposed to halogen compounds often die of liver failure. Whymight this be a logical ultimate result?arrow_forwardAn 90 kg subject consumed a snack that contained 80 g of carbohydrate. Before eating the snack the subject’s blood glucose was 6.0 mmol.L-1. Calculate the concentration of glucose (mM) that would be reached in the blood after consuming the snack.Assume that all the carbohydrate in the snack was converted to glucose, rapidly absorbed and distributed throughout the extracellular water (ECW) within 30 minutes. Assume ECW is approximately 20% of body weight and the glucose is not metabolised further.arrow_forwardConsider the oxidation of NADH by molecular oxygen as carried out via the electron-transport pathway:NADH + H+ + ½ O2 → NAD+ + H2OThe equilibrium constant (Keq) for this reaction is: a 2.05 x 102 b 7.09 x 103 c 12.05 x 109 d 8.54 x 107 e 6.15 x 1013 f 6.02 x 1023 g 2.63 x 1038 h 4.37 x 1019 i 5.0 x 1026arrow_forward
