1. A microbe using anaerobic respiration is most likely to reduce:
Fe3+
glucose
O2
pyruvate
CO2
2. In anaerobic respiration, glucose is oxidized to ____.
carbon dioxide
water
oxygen
ATP
NADH
3. What is a likely final electron acceptor for a bacterium using anaerobic respiration?
NO3-
glucose
NAD+
O2
pyruvate
1) anaerobic respiration is the process by which glucose is oxidized completely to carbon dioxide with the production of ATP, in the absence of oxygen.
pyruvate is formed by the glycolysis of the glucose, pyruvate is further oxidized to carbon dioxide via aerobic respiration,
in aerobic respiration the final electron acceptor is oxygen it is reduced to water.
In anaerobic respiration NO3-, Fe3+, SO42-, etc can be used as final electron acceptors. so the answer is a) Fe3+.
2) In anaerobic respiration, glucose is oxidized to 6 molecules of carbon dioxide
NAD+ accepts high energy electrons from glucose during oxidation reactions and gets reduced to NADH, ATP is formed by both substrate-level phosphorylation and via electron transport chain and ATP synthase ( ATP synthase uses the energy of H+ gradient generated by electron transport chain to produce ATP from ADP and Pi)
so the answer is a) carbon dioxide.
