Textbook Question

Chapter 8, Problem 4AC

Some species of bacteria that live at the surface of sediment on the bottom of lakes are capable of using either glycolysis plus fermentation or cellular respiration to generate ATP. There is very little circulation of water in lakes during the summer. Predict and explain what will happen to the bottommost water of a deep lake as the summer progresses, and describe how this situation will affect the amount of energy production by bacteria.

Definition Definition Set of metabolic processes and reactions that produce energy from organic substances such as glucose. Cellular respiration takes place in the organism’s cells, where the chemical energy from nutrients or molecules of oxygen is converted into adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Cellular respiration that occurs in the presence of oxygen is called aerobic respiration; in the absence of oxygen, it is called anaerobic respiration.
