Summary Introduction
To determine:
A neurotransmitter imbalance that lies behind Alzheimer disease. Based on the information that the drugs that improve early symptoms of Alzheimer disease do so by slowing the breakdown of acetylcholine in synaptic clefts in certain parts of the brain.
Introduction:
Synaptic transmission is a process of neuron communication. The two neurons are physically separated from each other by a synaptic cleft or gap. The process of synaptic transmission is carried out by neurotransmitters which are a chemical released from the synaptic end of a neuron.
A neurotransmitter helps in the passing of information in the form of nerve impulses. It is a one-way process that carries the information as nerve impulses from presynaptic axon to the terminal of the axon.

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.

The researcher chooses randomly 400 women to participate in this experiment for 9 months of their pregnancy period. They all need to have the same diet. The researcher designs two groups of 200 participants: One group take the real medication intended to reduce heartburn, while the other group take placebo medication. In this study what are: Independent variable: Dependent variable: Control variable: Experimental group: " Control group: If the participants do not know who is consuming the real pills and who is consuming the sugar pills.
