Q

stage 2

A

•pyruvate moves to mitochondria (only if there’s oxygen present)
•mitochondria is special organelle that can produce lots of energy
•pyruvate broken down into 2 carbon molecule called Acetyl CoA
•CO2 and NADH formed but NO ATP

Q

electron transport chain

A

•high energy electrons in NADH are passed along a series of electron acceptors
•as they pass, lots of ATP forms
•electrons react with oxygen at the end and form water

19
Q

biotechnology

A

•the use of living things or their components to manufacture useful products or carry out useful reactions

20
Q

what is the other name for anaerobic respiration

A

•fermentation

21
Q

what do yeast cells produce when the carry out fermentation

A

•alcohol

22
Q

during fermentation, what do yeast cells release as a biproduct

A

•CO2

23
Q

what are cells put into in biotechnology

A

•a bioreactor

24
Q

what is the substrate

A

•the food for the cells that is added to the bioreactor

25
Q

what products can yeast cells make

A

•beer
•medicine

26
Q

optimum growing conditions

A

•keep at just right temp and just right pH so cells can produce most products possible

27
Q

if you put yeast in a flask and add glucose what happens

A

•the yeast will eat the glucose and make alcohol

28
Q

to yeast cells use oxygen and what do they release as a biproduct

A

•anaerobic no oxyegn
•produce CO2 as biproduct

29
Q

why do you boil the solution and add oil

A

•to make sure there’s no oxygen present

30
Q

what kingdom does yeast belong to

A

•fungi

31
Q

how can you check if CO2 was produced

A

•using limewater, it’ll turn milky

32
Q

how can you check if alcohol was produced

A

•using potassium dichromate, after you heat it, it’ll turn orange to green

33
Q

why keep yeast cells at optimum temp

A

allows enzymes to work at their best

34
Q

why alcohol production eventually stop
