2026 FULL QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
ANSWERS
◉In cancer cells, increasing the amount of metabolites moving
through glycolysis makes it so. Answer: more metabolites are
available for the biosynthesis of other molecules
◉molecular biology/ chemistry of yogurt. Answer: Incubating lacto.
bacteria w milk at 110*F which carries out glycolysis and
fermentation- lactose is the energy source for glycolysis- high
temperature -> denature protein -> more acidic

◉How is acetaldehyde converted to ethanol in ethanol
fermentation?. Answer: Acetaldehyde is reduced while NADH is
oxidized to produce ethanol and NAD+
◉What is the first product of ethanol fermentation pathway?.
Answer: 2 acetaldehyde molecules and 2 CO2 molecules
◉Why is NADH oxidized in lactate fermentation?. Answer:
◉What happens in lactate fermentation pathway?. Answer: Pyruvate
is reduced to lactate, while NADH is oxidized to NAD+.
◉Net ATP of aerobic respiration per glucose. Answer: 2 glycolysis, 2
TCA, 32-34 oxidative phosphorylation
