Problem: Respond to the following peer post to Further the dialogue by providing more information and clarification. Include 2 scholarly sources. Let's discuss the three main pathways of glucose catabolism. For this discussion, select a prokaryote or eukaryote and discuss whether it uses aerobic respiration, anaerobic respiration, or fermentation. Once you identify the catabolic pathway of your microorganism, compare it to one of the other three pathways by answering the following questions: * Are the Krebs cycle and electron transport system used? * What molecule is the final electron acceptor? * How much ATP is produced? The Prokaryote I am choosing is E. coli. Escherichia coli is a versatile bacterium that will grow in the presence and absence of oxygen. It has a flexible biochemistry in which aerobic respiration is preferred to anerobic respiration, which in turn is preferred to fermentation. So, to answer the question of are the Krebs cycle and electron transport system used? The answer is yes. If aerobic respiration is being used then yes the Krebs cycle and the electron transport system is being used. Under aerobic conditions the molecules final electron acceptor is oxygen, with 38 ATP molecules being produced. Reference: Cowan, M. K., & Smith. Need Assignment Help?
