Question

which culture uses the most glucose?

a) E. coli growing in glucose broth at 35 c with o2 for five days.
b) E coli growing in glucose broth at 35 c without o2 for five days.
C) botha a and b
d) neither a not b

Answer 1

Culture B. More glucose would be used since only 2ATP molecules are made per
glucose molecule.
There would not be feedback inhibition of glycolysis and
more glucose would be used because
fermentation would continue much longer
then respiration.
