Facultative anaerobes may live with or without oxygen.

  1. True
  2. False
Question 8 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

The muscle fatigue occurs due to the accumulation of

  1. lactic acid
  2. glycogen
  3. creatine phosphate
  4. carbon dioxide
Question 9 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

Choose the correct answers from the alternatives given :
Why would an organism utilize fermentation if it was wasteful of the energy in food molecules and posed the threat f killing itself with high levels of toxic alcohol?

  1. Organism can survive short spells of anaerobic conditions and maintain growth and reproduction
  2. If glucose levels are not high, there may be time to disperse the alcohol waste
  3. Fermentation can provide a rapid burst of ATP since it does not have to go through the full breakdown cycle
  4. All of the above are advantages
