Can you explain the thermodynamic regukation of the OxPhos system?
Extremophiles are microorganisms that can survive and proliferate in extreme environments. One group of such microorganisms are lithotrophs. These are found deep beneath the Earth's surface, living on rocks under anaerobic conditions and surviving on CO2 as their sole source of carbon. Imagine that you are studying a newly discovered lithotroph and are trying to determine what it uses as a source of electrons for reducing CO2 and for producing energy. Which one of the following conditions must be met for a molecule to serve as a useful electron donor? Oxidation of the molecule occurs with a decrease in free energy. Oxidation of the molecule occurs with an increase in free energy. Reduction of the molecule occurs with a decrease in free energy. O Reduction of the molecule occurs with an increase in free energy.
Approximately how many tons of carbon (C) does 2 tons of dry wood contain?

DCPIP (2,6-dichlorophenol-indophenol), a blue dye, can act as an electron acceptor and becomes colorless when reduced. A suspension of chloroplasts is prepared, and DCPIP is added to the suspension. The sample is split into two test tubes. One test tube is exposed to light and the other is wrapped in foil (dark control). What would you observe over time comparing the light exposed and the dark control test tubes? A. The sample exposed to light stays blue. The sample kept in the dark turns colorless. B. The sample exposed to light turns colorless. The sample wrapped in foil stays blue. C. Both samples stay blue. D. Both samples turn colorless.
2. a) Describe what is happening in Calvin Cycle in plain English! (how would you describe this step for someone who hasn’t taken Biol) b) If someone wanted to perform an experiment to evaluate the output of a particular step, which variable would be the best option to measure? (Think about which variable is UNIQUE to each step!)

What do you think will happen to the amount of Carbon Dioxide in the bottle when the leaves are in the LIGHT? * Increasing function Decreasing function Constant function f(x) f(x) f(x) (a) (b) (c) The CO2 in the bottle will increase (a) The CO2 in the bottle will decrease (b) The CO2 in the bottle will stay the same (c) Other: Explain why you are making this prediction, using what you know about acer C
Which process conserves energy that would otherwise have been wasted and lost to the environment by recirculating warm air or water to heat a building or a water heater ? A) cogeneration B) combustion recovery C) electrostatic scrubber D) synergistic interaction
Ethanol is one example of alternative fuels for powering our cars and trucks. Ethanol can be produced in different ways, but most often by microorganisms acting on plant materials such as corn. Advocates argue that burning ethanol would not alter the net emission of CO2 even though when ethanol is involved in combustion it produces CO2. What are the pros and cons of producing and burning ethanol?
