A baker activates yeast cells with hot water, and adds sugar as their source of food. As the yeast begin their metabolic processes, the bowl it is in is covered with plastic so that no oxygen can get to them. At this point, the yeast will __ * 1 point
a. produce far more ATP than is necessary in response to the lack of oxygen
b. continue to go through aerobic respiration if enough sugar is present
c. die since all living organisms need oxygen to survive.
d. perform anaerobic respiration in the absence of oxygen

The correct answer would be - option D. perform anaerobic respiration in the absence of oxygen.

Explanation:

Yeast is a facultative anaerobic single-cell organism that can live without oxygen. If yeast cells did not get the oxygen they use anaerobic respiration to get the energy.

If the baker activates these cells and stops them to get oxygen the yeast cells have to switch to anaerobic respiration to survive and produces ethanol and releases carbon dioxide.

c is the correct answer hope this !

c. earths continental crust is thicker than its lithosphere.

because, the lithosphere is the outermost layer of the earth/ 100 km thick and is defined by its machanical properties.the lithosphere contains oceanic and continental crust that varies in age and thickness across locations and geologic time. the lithosphere is the coolest layer of the earth in terms of temperature. the term lithosphere should not be confused with the use of "geosphere" which is used to indicate all of earth systems, including the atmosphere, hydrosphere   and biosphere. the surface of the earth can be divided into the continental crust and the oceanic crust.   the continental crust is made mostly of granite while the oceanic crust is made of basalt. the average thickness of the continental crust is 25 miles and the average thickness of the oceanic crust is 5 miles.   three types of rock, igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic, make up the surface of the earth. that's why 3 option is preferable.
