Biology Questions

Fermentation is the chemical breakdown of a substance by bacteria, yeasts, or other microorganisms, typically involving effervescence and the giving off of heat.

The two most common types of fermentation are

(1) alcoholic fermentation (and) 

(2) lactic acid fermentation.

(1) Alcoholic fermentation : the type of fermentation in which ethyl alcohol is the main end product .This is very common in yeast (unicellular fungus) and also seen in some bacteria. Yeast cells release enzymes called zymase complex which bring about the fermentation. The reactions are similar to anaerobic respiration.

(2) Lactic acid fermentation : The type of fermentation in which lactic acid is the end product.

It is carried out by some bacteria (e.g. lactic acid bacteria), and also by animals (muscle glycolysis in animals, under oxygen deficiency, results in the formation of lactic acid this is whay we experience in muscle cramps, or "Charley horse").

Ascomycota is a division or phylum of the kingdom Fungi that, together with the Basidiomycota, form the subkingdom Dikarya. Its members are commonly known as the sac fungi or ascomycetes. 

Hence, Sac formation is a characteristic of the Ascomycota fungi.

Increasing the Alveolar ventilation rate will increase the rate of carbon dioxide diffusion from the blood to the alveoli.

An approach to studying biology that aims to model the dynamic behavior of whole biological systems based on a study of the interactions among the system's parts.

The genetic information of the cell is DNA and is stored in the nucleus of the cell.

Meiosis takes in the capsule of the Bryophytes.

When a cell undergoes meiosis process, it produces 4 haploid cells as a result.

Urea is a by product of amino acid catabolism, Which occurs in the liver. The nitrogen in the  amino acid becomes converted to ammonia and this is further converted by the liver into urea
