When you add yeast to dough, it rises because

  1. Yeast cells reproduce by budding

  2. Budding yeast cells form colonies

  3. Of the bulk of the new yeast cells

  4. The rapidly reproducing yeast cells release carbon dioxide due to anaerobic respiration


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

  • The yeast changes the sugar in the dough into carbon dioxide gas and ethanol (alcohol).
  •  The gas, trapped in the dough, makes it rise; the alcohol produced during fermentation evaporates during baking. Hence, When you add yeast to the dough, it rises because the rapidly reproducing yeast cells release carbon dioxide due to anaerobic respiration.
So, the correct answer is 'The rapidly reproducing yeast cells release carbon dioxide due to anaerobic respiration'.

When you add yeast to dough, it rises because

  1. Yeast cells reproduce by budding.

  2. Budding yeast cells form colonies.

  3. The rapidly reproducing yeast cells release carbon dioxide due to anaerobic respiration.

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Yeast are the organism that executes the process of fermentation in which they break down the sugar into its simpler forms for obtaining energy. In this process carbon dioxide and alcohol are also forms and CO$ _2$ helps the dough to rise. The process is favorable in humid and warm conditions in colder environment it slows down.

So, the correct answer is 'The rapidly reproducing yeast cells release carbon dioxide due to anaerobic respiration'.

Which substance is produced in anaerobic respiration by an organism but not in aerobic respiration?

  1. Carbon dioxide

  2. Water

  3. Ethanol

  4. Acetic acid


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Fermentation is a form of anaerobic respiration in which alcohol is formed by the breakdown of glucose in the absence of oxygen. It usually done by the yeast. In alcoholic fermentation, pyruvic acid is converted into ethanol with the liberation of carbon dioxide. The alcoholic fermentation equation is as follows: 
C$ _6$H$ _{12}$O$ _6$ + 2 ADP + P --> 2 C$ _2$H$ _5$OH + 2 CO$ _2$ + 2 ATP

Therefore, the correct answer is option C.

The end product of anaerobic respiration, in plants, is

  1. Pyruvic acid

  2. Malic acid

  3. Ethyl alcohol

  4. Methyl alcohol


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Anaerobic respiration refers to the type of respiration that takes place without oxygen. In plants, the glucose is anaerobically converted to ethyl alcohol, ATP and carbon dioxide.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C.

Lack of oxygen in muscles often leads to cramps among cricketers.
This results due to

  1. Conversion of pyruvate to ethanol

  2. Conversion of pyruvate to glucose

  3. Non conversion of glucose to pyruvate

  4. Conversion of pyruvate to lactic acid


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Intracellular acidosis occurs due to lactic acid accumulation, it has been regarded as the most important cause of skeletal muscle fatigue. Lactic acid is formed and accumulated in the muscle under conditions of high energy demand, rapid fluctuations of the energy requirement and insufficient supply of oxygen. Subsequently, the pyruvate synthesised during glycolysis is converted to lactic acid in anaerobic condition. Thus, the correct answer is option D.

Which of the following statement(s) is (are) correct?
(i) Pyruvate can be converted into ethanol and carbon dioxide by yeast.
(ii) Fermentation takes place in aerobic bacteria.
(iii) Fermentation takes place in mitochondria.
(iv) Fermentation is a form of anaerobic respiration.

  1. (i) and (iii)

  2. (ii) and (iv)

  3. (i) and (iv)

  4. (ii) and (iii)


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Fermentation is an anaerobic process which takes place in the absence of oxygen that converts sugar to acids or alcohol. It occurs in yeast, bacteria, and also in oxygen-starved muscle cells, as in the case of lactic acid fermentation. 

So, the correct answer is option C.

State whether the following statements are true or false.
Facultative anaerobes may live with or without oxygen.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Facultative anaerobes are organisms which can switch over to the anaerobic mode of respiration when needed they can also grow in absence of oxygen. 

So, the correct option is 'True'.

The muscle fatigue occurs due to the accumulation of

  1. lactic acid

  2. glycogen

  3. creatine phosphate

  4. carbon dioxide


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Long-term muscle use requires the delivery of oxygen and glucose to the muscle fibre to allow aerobic respiration to occur, producing the ATP required for muscle contraction. If the respiratory or circulatory system cannot keep up with demand, then energy will be generated by the much less efficient anaerobic respiration.
In aerobic respiration, pyruvate produced by glycolysis is converted into additional ATP molecules in the mitochondria via the Krebs Cycle. With insufficient oxygen, pyruvate cannot enter the Krebs cycle and instead accumulates in the muscle fibre. Pyruvate is continually processed into lactic acid. With pyruvate accumulation, lactic acid production is also increased. This lactic acid accumulation in the muscle tissue reduces the pH, making it more acidic and producing the stinging feeling in muscles and induces fatigue.
So, the correct option is 'lactic acid'.

Choose the correct answers from the alternatives given :
Why would an organism utilize fermentation if it was wasteful of the energy in food molecules and posed the threat f killing itself with high levels of toxic alcohol?

  1. Organism can survive short spells of anaerobic conditions and maintain growth and reproduction

  2. If glucose levels are not high, there may be time to disperse the alcohol waste

  3. Fermentation can provide a rapid burst of ATP since it does not have to go through the full breakdown cycle

  4. All of the above are advantages


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
  • Anaerobic respiration is done by the organisms which live in a condition with very little oxygen or no oxygen at all such as some of the bacteria and prokaryotic organisms. 
  • Also the cells in the body of a multicellular organism when they are used for extreme physical active where the body may not be able to provide oxygen to each and every cells. For example muscles of arms and legs while excriseing. 
  • In anaerobic condition the glucose molecule will undergo glycolysis where it is broken down to 2 molecules of pyruvate wilt the net gain of 2 ATP after which dur to unavailability of oxygen the pyruvate will under go lactic acid fermentation or alcoholic fermentation where the pyruvate molecule is converted to lactic acid or ethanol & carbon dioxide respectively with the regeneration of NAD for the continuation of glycolysis. 
  • Prokaryotic organisms perform this type of respiration as they do not have membrane bound organelles like mitochondria which is required for the competion of the aerobic cellular respiration. 
  • Also some of the aerobic respiring cells can survive in no oxygen condition for sometime by respiring this way. But they are usually under a stressful condition where they cells will not grow or divide as they whole energy will be focused on conserving energy and surviving. 
  • And prokaryotic organisms which mostly have cellular level of organisation or a single celled they are provided with immediate burst of ATP by breaking down glucose by glycolysis. 
  • Therefore the correct answer for this option B and C

Rajeev was absent in the class because of muscle pain which he claim to be due to excess physical exercise he had done yesterdays. This pain due to

  1. Formation of lactic acid

  2. Formation of acetic acid

  3. Formation of pyruvic acid

  4. Formation of hydrochloric acid


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Glycolysis breaks a glucose molecule into two pyruvate molecules, producing a net gain of 2 ATP molecules. Lactic acid fermentation is the type of anaerobic respiration process carried out by yoghurt bacteria and by our own muscle cells when we work.
So the correct option is 'Formation of lactic acid'.

The respiration carried in the absence of oxygen is called

  1. Aerobic respiration

  2. Anaerobic respiration

  3. Mastication

  4. Haemoglobin respiration


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

  • In anaerobic respiration, glucose breaks down without oxygen.
  •  The chemical reaction transfers energy from glucose to the cell.
  •  Anaerobic respiration produces lactic acid, rather than carbon dioxide and water. Hence, The respiration carried in the absence of oxygen is called anaerobic respiration.
So, the correct answer is 'anaerobic respiration'.

In anaerobic respiration

  1. O$ _{ 2 }$ is taken in.

  2. CO$ _{ 2 }$ is taken in.

  3. O$ _{ 2 }$ is given out.

  4. CO$ _{ 2 }$ is given out.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Anaerobic respiration is a type of respiration that does not use oxygen. It is used when there is not enough oxygen for aerobic respiration. 
Anaerobic respiration in some microorganisms (such as yeast) produces ethanol and carbon dioxide, as opposed to lactic acid.

So, the correct answer is option D.

Which of the following will survive in a closed container and perform fermentation?

  1. Algae

  2. Yeast

  3. Virus

  4. Protozoa


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

  • Yeasts are eukaryotic, single-celled microorganisms classified as members of the fungus kingdom.
  •  Yeast is a microorganism that can undergo aerobic as well as anaerobic respiration. 
  • Yeast requires oxygen for growth. In addition to oxygen, they require a basic substrate such as sugar. 
When yeast cells are kept in an anaerobic environment (i.e., without oxygen)can ferment sugars to alcohol and carbon dioxide. They produce ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide from simple sugars such as glucose and fructose. Hence, the yeast can survive in a closed container and perform fermentation.
So, the correct answer is 'yeast'.

The organisms that undergo anaerobic respiration to make alcohol are

  1. Bacteria

  2. Yeast

  3. Algae

  4. Protozoa


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
Yeast can undergo both aerobic and anaerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration occurs in yeast in the absence of oxygen. It is also known as fermentation. The products of anaerobic respiration in yeast are carbon dioxide, alcohol and 2 molecules of ATP.
So the correct answer is 'Yeast'.

ATP is stored on the myosin cross bridges for immediate energy After 5 to 6 seconds, this supply is exhausted and the muscle must rely on to quickly produce more ATP.

  1. Phosphocreatine

  2. Lactic acid

  3. Acetyl choline

  4. Pyruvic acid


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

  • Myofibril activity is required for muscle contraction on the molecular level. 
  • When ATP binds to myosin, it separates from the actin of the myofibril, which causes a contraction.
  • The muscle contraction cycle is triggered by calcium ions binding to the protein complex troponin, exposing the active-binding sites on the actin.
  • ATP then binds to myosin, moving the myosin to its high-energy state, releasing the myosin head from the actin active site.
  • When ATP is exhausted lactic acid is produced 
So, the correct option is 'lactic acid'.
