The French biochemist and microbiologist Louis Pasteur investigated the metabolism of yeast, which can survive under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. He observed that the yeast consumed sugar at a much faster rate under anaerobic conditions than they did under aerobic conditions. Explain this "Pasteur effect."

Under anaerobic conditions, fermentation is being used, producing only two ATP molecules per glucose molecule. Under aerobic conditions, cellular respiration is being used, producing 36 to 38 ATP molecules per glucose molecule. More glucose is thus required under anaerobic conditions to yield the same amount of ATP as is produced under aerobic conditions.

If no oxygen is available to a cell, then the net ATP production resulting from the metabolism of a single glucose molecule is


A) 32 ATP molecules.
B) 2 ATP molecules.
C) 1 ATP molecule.
D) no ATP.
E) 36 ATP molecules.

Respiration rates are measured by the amount of oxygen per gram of tissue per hour. In a series of experiments, it was determined that a warm- blooded mouse requires 2.5 milliliters of O2 per gram of tissue per hour, whereas a cold- blooded crayfish requires 0.047 milliliter of O2 per gram of tissue per hour. Why is there such a dramatic difference in respiration rates between these animals?
