It produces 36 molecules of ATP. 2. It uses oxygen to produce energy. 3. It occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell. 4. It results in the production of lactic acid. Which characteristics did the student list incorrectly? Characteristics 2 and 3 are incorrect because anaerobic respiration produces energy without oxygen and occurs in the mitochondria of a cell. Characteristics 1 and 4 are incorrect because anaerobic respiration produces 2 molecules of ATP and does not produce lactic acid. Characteristics 3 and 4 are incorrect because anaerobic respiration occurs in the mitochondria of a cell and does not produce lactic acid. O Characteristics 1 and 2 are incorrect because anaerobic respiration produces 2 molecules of ATP and produces energy without oxygen.arrow_forward
- The infoldings of the chloroplast and mitochondria were discussed. The same phenomenon happens in the endoplasmic reticulum. Bacteria have infoldings for specific functions as well.

You discover a new mutation in the Alpha-globin gene that causes it to code for a glycine instead of a histidine. These amino acids are very chemically different.

- A student performed an experiment using dry, non-germinating seeds to measure the rate of cellular respiration. She then watered the seeds so they began to germinate and performed the experiment again. Finally, she allowed the same seeds to grow into leafy green plants and performed the experiment one last time. Assuming the mass, temperature, and pressure were kept constant, which experiment would you expect to cause the volume of oxygen to decrease at the fastest rate? Explain.

What has this new study uncovered in relation to ATP on early Earth? B. How do scientists postulate that the phosphorus on early Earth was created? C. Explain why this study is important?arrow_forwardSome friends are trying to make wine in their basement. They've added yeast (which is a facultative anaerobe - it can perform both aerobic respiration and fermentation) to a sweet grape juice mixture and have allowed the yeast to grow. After several days they find that sugar levels in the grape juice have dropped, but there's no alcohol in the mixture. The most likely explanation is that the mixture needs less oxygen, because yeast only produce alcohol in the absence of oxygen the mixture needs less sugar, because high sugar concentrations prevent fermentation the mixture needs more sugar, because yeast need a lot of energy before they can begin to produce alcohol the yeast used the alcohol as a carbon source the mixture needs more oxygen, because yeast need oxygen to break down sugar and get enough energy to produce alcoholarrow_forward
