Question 3

Multiple Choice

Using the table below, what is the best method for obtaining energy from catabolizing ethanol, and why? A.
$Using the table below, what is the best method for obtaining energy from catabolizing ethanol, and why? A. A) the catabolism of ethanol without an oxidant, because the \Delta G is almost positive B) the oxidation of ethanol with \mathrm { NO } _ { 3 } ^ { - } as the oxidant is because of the large yield of energy released C) the oxidation of ethanol with oxygen, because the \Delta G is the largest negative number indicating the large yield of energy released. D) The oxidation of ethanol yields too little biomass to be catabolized. E) None-ethanol can only be catabolized syntrophically.$
