What fermentation process occurs when feeding the starter dough for sourdough bread?
Lactic acid fermentation
This process is crucial for developing the flavor and texture of sourdough bread.
What process occurs next to make the sourdough bread dough rise?
Alcoholic fermentation
This process creates pockets in the dough by forming ethyl alcohol and CO2 gas.
What metabolic pathway begins glucose metabolism during intense exercise like the 100-meter sprint?
Glycolysis
This pathway is essential for producing quick energy.
What takes over in the absence of oxygen during intense exercise?
Lactic acid fermentation
This process allows for continued energy production when oxygen is limited.
What is a major global challenge driven by societal needs and wants?
Air and water pollution from industrial waste
This issue is critical for environmental health and sustainability.
How do plants function in relation to pollution and energy production?
They act as small chemical factories
Plants synthesize carbohydrates through photosynthesis and utilize cellular respiration for energy.
How can modern technology be applied to reduce industrial pollution?
Genetically modifying plants to synthesize compounds
This could replace hazardous waste-producing chemical factory processes.
