Question

Q3.1. Yeast have mitochondria and can perform cellular respiration. What would you expect to be consumed and produced during the process of cellular respiration in yeast? Glucose and O2 consumed, CO2, H20, and energy produced O Glucose. H2O, CO2, and energy consumed. O2 produced 0 CO2 and H2O consumed, glucose, O2, and energy produced Co2 and energy consumed, H20, O2 and energy produced Q3.2. In which way do cells use glucose during the production of ATP? Cells incorporate some of the atoms from glucose molecules into ATP molecules. O Cells convert glucose molecules entirely into energy, which is then stored in ATP O Cells transfer some of the energy stored in glucose's chemical bonds to ATP O Cells directly combine glucose with O2 in the ETC to produce energy for ATP TV WE ?

Explanation / Answer

Q 3.1 During respiration in yeast, glucose and oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water and energy is released. Yeast is a single-celled fungus that converts glucose and oxygen into carbon dioxide and ATP during cellular respiration. Glucose is converted to two ATP, ethanol, and carbon dioxide.

Q 3.2 Cells convert glucose molecules into energy which is stored in the form of ATP. Degradation of glucose takes place in a sequence of steps. The process is known as glycolysis. The process leads to production of ATP without the involvement of molecular oxygen (O2 gas). The process takes place in the cytosol of cells.A gluocose molecule gets converted into two molecules of pyruvate. For each molecule of glucose, two molecules of ATP are hydrolyzed to provide energy. Oxidation occurs and electrons are removed by NAD+. Some of the energy released by oxidation helps in the synthesis of ATP molecules from ADP and Pi. Two molecules of NADH are formed per molecule of glucose in the course of glycolysis.
