17. From the list below, select the reasons that [REDACTED] do not apply to cellular
systems. (Select all that apply)
The Le Chatelier principle doesn't apply to cellular systems because cells are not at
equilibrium and do not try to reach equilibrium; they try to achieve a steady state.

Cellular systems are open systems with large interconnected pathways
-
‘Irreversible’ reactions NOT found in beaker
-
No equilibrium in cell
18. In a cellular system, the concentration of a metabolite is noted to be 50mM. Over time
this metabolite drops to 25mM. What is the expected response of the system?
Km represents the concentration so if it lowering then the active site and the ES complex are

The System is expected to take the product and flow back to the metabolite to try and achieve
its steady state again or pull metabolite from upstream reactions to achieve its steady state.

-
FAD, contains higher oxidative activity than NAD
-
FAD is tightly or covalently bound to the enzyme and does not get released. NAD
is not tightly or covalently bound and can be released into a pool of coEnzymes.
-
FAD accommodates 2 Hydrogens; NAD accepts 1 Hydrogen
-
OR if it refers to NADP v NAD: NADP is anabolic and NAD is catabolic

Nanotechnology Tools to Inactivate SARS-CoV-2 in Patients
The main target of SARS-CoV-2 is the respiratory tract (upper airways, lung), although other organs might also be infected (e.g., gut, kidney) and vasculature also appears to be a prime target. The expression of ACE2 probably determines uptake by different tissues.
In addition to discussing immune-based approaches, because the lung is the most critically affected organ, we will center our discussion on the various options to inactivate the virus in the deep lung and to target the essential host cells for drug delivery. The virus reaches the alveoli and enters alveolar epithelial type II cells (AECII), due to the relatively high abundance of ACE2 and a permissive cellular milieu. These cells serve as a reservoir of the virus, which finally spreads throughout the lung, leading to the lung function impairment seen in severe cases. Airborne nanomaterials are…

Going Under the Knife: A Case on Membrane Structure and Function
Twenty-year-old Kevin groaned and clutched his abdomen as he lay on the emergency room gurney. He had just been diagnosed with acute appendicitis and was waiting to be taken to the operating room (OR). Although he desperately wanted the pain to stop, Kevin was terrified of having general anesthesia. He hoped his fear wasn’t obvious to his older brother Cole, who was finishing medical school and thought he knew everything.
“Hang in there,” Cole said, for what seemed like the eighteenth time. “I’m sure they’ll get you upstairs as soon as they can. They don’t want that thing to burst.”
Kevin grunted. “I know…but does that anesthesia stuff work all the time? How can I not wake up when someone’s slicing my gut open?”
Cole assumed a professorial air, and Kevin wished he’d kept his mouth shut. However, Cole didn’t get a chance to say anything before an aide arrived to take Kevin to the OR.

Drug 2-Lumacaftor (VX-809): In people with the most common CF mutation, F508del, a series of problems prevents the CFTR protein from folding into the correct shape and reaching its proper place on the cell surface. The cell recognizes the protein as abnormal and targets it for degradation before it makes it to the cell surface. In order to treat this problem, two drugs are required - an agent to get the protein to the surface and then Ivacaftor to open the channel and increase chloride transport. The drug Lumacaftor has been identified as a treatment to help with the trafficking of the protein to the cell surface. When Lumacaftor is added to Ivacaftor, the protein gets to the surface and also increases chloride transport by increasing channel opening time.
For which class(es) of mutations would Lumacaftor be most effective?

After Ivy was finished meeting with Dr. Alvarez, she didn't feel like going back to her dorm room where her room-

There is lymph node involvement with a primary tumor partially obstructing the right kidney. The client was readmitted 4 days ago for removal of the remaining portion of the left leg and was told that there is no appropriate surgical or medical intervention that would be beneficial at this point in the disease process. The interdisciplinary health care team has recommended palliative care upon discharge since the client’s life expectancy is between 3 and 5 months.

He had just been diagnosed with acute appendicitis and was waiting to be taken to the operating room (OR). Although he desperately wanted the pain to stop, Kevin was terrified of having general anesthesia. He hoped his fear wasn’t obvious to his older brother Cole, who was finishing medical school and thought he knew everything. “Hang in there,” Cole said, for what seemed like the eighteenth time. “I’m sure they’ll get you upstairs as soon as they can.

- Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are cancer cells (found within tumors or hematological cancers) that possess characteristics associated with normal stem cells, specifically the ability to give rise to all cell types found in a particular cancer sample. There are many biomedical engineering based approaches to detect CSCs. Question: What is the importance and advanatge of detecting CSCs? Please explain in detail the main findings with your own words.arrow_forwardQuestion:- Regarding how information is passed through the cell, why is the state (confirmation) of a cell changed when other molecules are added or removed?arrow_forwardPlease don't reject this. I really need the answer for this. Name and discuss the functions of three rotationally driven medical equipment purposed for diagnoses and treatment. Provide an illustration.arrow_forward
