Question
Chapter 10, Problem 23P
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The process of convergence.
Introduction:
The basic unit of the nervous system is neuron. A nerve cell consists of a cell body, dendrites, and an axon. A neuron has only one axon present in it. Axon helps in the conduction of nerve impulses. A neuron receives signals as an input from many other neurons. The incoming impulses or signals are the information gathered from different types of sensory receptors.

If a bacterium using aerobic respiration was to degrade one small protein molecule into 8 molecules of pyruvic acid, how many ATP would that cell make? Assume there is no other carbon source.
Units cannot be entered in this style of question but the units of your answer should be in molecules of ATP.
If a bacterium using aerobic respiration was to degrade a 30 mM solution of citric acid, how many ATP would that cell make? Assume no other carbon source is available.
Units cannot be entered in this style of question but the units of your answer should be in mM of ATP.
How much ATP will be produced during the following metabolic scenario:
Aerobic respiration of a 5mM lipid solution that is made up of one glycerol and an 8-carbon fatty acid and 12-carbon fatty acid. Recall that when glycerol breaks down to Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate it costs one ATP but your get an extra FADH2. Every two carbons of a fatty acid break down to one acetyl-CoA. (pathways will be provided on the exam)
Units cannot be entered in this style of question but the units of your answer should be in mM of ATP.
