Yeast and certain bacterial cells can respire anaerobically.

a.

Complete the word equation for anaerobic respiration in human muscle cells.

b.

State two ways in which anaerobic respiration in human muscle cells is different from anaerobic respiration in yeast cells.

Sugar beet extract contains three different sugars: glucose, fructose, and maltose. Different strains of bacteria can ferment different sugars to produce biobutanol. Scientists investigate how two different bacterial strains, Strain A and Strain B, ferment sugars in sugar beet extract.

Look at their results:

Bacterial fermentation graphs

Which sugar is not fermented by either strain of bacteria?

  • Fructose
  • Glucose
  • Maltose
[1]
d.

After 40 hours, how many times higher is the biobutanol yield of Strain A compared to Strain B?

Number of times higher=……………\text{Number of times higher} = \dots\dots\dots\dots\dotsNumber of times higher=……………

[1]
e.

Which sugar would increase fermentation the most if added to both Strain A and Strain B?

  • Fructose
  • Glucose
  • Maltose
[1]
f.

Fermented sugar beet extract is used to supply both fructose and biobutanol. Explain why it would be best to use Strain B to ferment sugar beet extract to supply both fructose and biobutanol.
