Answer:

The correct answer would be  A] Ethyl alcohol.

Yeast undergo fermentation in absence of oxygen.

In anaerobic conditions, yeast converts one molecule of glucose into two molecules of ethanol and two molecules of carbon dioxide.

Glycolysis is common in both aerobic and anaerobic respiration. So, first glucose is converted into 2 molecules of pyruvate with net gain of 2 ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and 2 NADH.

Pyruvate is then converted into alcohol (ethanol) in a two-step manner.

First, it is converted into acetaldehyde which is catalyzed by pyruvate decarboxylase. One molecule of CO₂ is released as a byproduct.

Acetaldehyde is then converted into ethanol with the help of alcohol dehydrogenase. It regenerates NAD⁺ lost in glycolysis. It ensures that the cell can continuously use glycolysis as the source of ATP.

Many foods must be refrigerated to prevent spoiling (microbial growth). Explain why honey (which is ∼82% carbohydrate by weight)
VLD [36.1K]

Answer;

-Honey contains a considerable amount of sugar (about 82% carbohydrate) and therefore when a microbe (e.g., a fungal spore or bacterium) lands on honey the process of osmosis causes water to be drawn out of the microbe thus blocking its ability to live and proliferate.

Explanation;

Antibiotics are used to kill or inhibit bacteria growth. Honey contains hydrogen peroxide, which may account for some of its antibacterial properties. It also has a high sugar content, which can help stop the growth of certain bacteria.

-Additionally, honey has a low pH level. This works to pull moisture away from bacteria, causing the bacteria to get dehydrated and die off.

The Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans provide guidelines specifically for older adults. "Which of the following is not
Tems11 [23]

b. All adults should engage in moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity for at least 150 minutes per week, vigorous-intensity aerobic activity for 75 minutes per week, or an equivalent combination of the two.

Explanation:

The Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans guidelines for older adults states that:

Older adults are more susceptible to cardiac and nervous disorders along with poor musculoskeletal strength.  

To maintain good cardiac and nervous health; musculoskeletal fitness and strength; reduce depression, cognitive decline; older adults are directed to engage in moderate-intensity/vigorous or combination of both aerobic physical activities and muscle-strengthening exercises.

They should include physical activities combining one or more of; occupational (work-based) activities; transportation (walking, cycling); household chores (cleaning); leisure time activities (gardening, dancing); sports activities (hiking, biking, swimming, games, running) and planned daily routine exercise activities; all of them as part of their daily routines performed as an individual, family or community-based activities .

Older adults with mobility issues should perform exercises to improve their balance and prevent falls .
