Can obligate anaerobes grow on a slant that is incubated anaerobically?

Yes, obligate anaerobes can grow on a slant that is incubated anaerobically by using special anaerobic incubation methods such as gas-packs or anaerobic jars to create an oxygen-free environment. These methods allow obligate anaerobes to grow on the slant without being exposed to oxygen.


Yeast respires anaerobically. what is the name of this process in yeast?

Fermentation is the process by which yeast respires anaerobically to produce energy in the form of ATP and fermentation byproducts such as ethanol and carbon dioxide.


Why can glucose be utilised anaerobically but fats cannot?

Glucose can be utilized anaerobically because it undergoes glycolysis, which converts glucose into pyruvate, producing ATP in the absence of oxygen. This process can continue into fermentation, allowing for energy production without oxygen. In contrast, fats must first undergo beta-oxidation to be converted into acetyl-CoA, which requires oxygen for further processing in the citric acid cycle. Therefore, fats cannot be metabolized anaerobically.


Why is the streak-stab technique preferred rather than incubating the plates anaerobically?

The streak-stab technique is preferred over incubating the plates anaerobically because when isolating colonies allows biochemical testing to be performed. When the plate is incubated anaerobically it lacks oxygen and can not be biochemically tested.


Do muscles enter into oxygen debt when they are functioning anaerobically?

Yes, muscles enter into oxygen debt when they are functioning anaerobically because they rely on anaerobic glycolysis to produce energy in the absence of oxygen. This process produces lactic acid as a byproduct, which needs to be cleared once oxygen supply is restored, hence leading to the oxygen debt.

What gas is produced when yeast respire anaerobically?

When yeast respires anaerobically it takes glucose (C6H12O6) and breaks it into ethanol, a small amount of energy, and two molecules of carbon dioxide gas (2CO2).


What is produced when yeast respires anaerobically?

Yeast produces ethanol (alcohol) and carbon dioxide when it respires anaerobically. This process is commonly known as alcoholic fermentation and is used in baking and brewing industries.

Names of some plants which respire anaerobically?

Some examples of plants that can respire anaerobically include rice plants, mangrove trees, and water lilies. These plants have adaptations to survive in waterlogged or flooded environments where oxygen availability is limited.
