A large number of ATP and NADPH molecules are used during the Calvin cycle with a high value of glucose. Introduction: The plant cell is able to construct carbohydrate molecules for its own use once it has turned the energy from the sun into ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate). Carbon dioxide, a gas exhaled by animals and humans with every breath, provides the carbon atoms needed to construct carbohydrate molecules in plants. During photosynthesis, the energy produced by the light-dependent processes is used in a series of events known as the Calvin cycle to produce glucose and other carbohydrate molecules.

The diagram below illustrates a quorum sensing pathway from Staphylococcus aureus. Please answer the following questions. 1. Autoinduction is part of the quorum sensing system. Which promoter (P2 or P3) is critical for autoinduction? 2)This staphylococcus aureus grows on human wounds, causing severe infections. You would like to start a clinical trial to treat these wound infections. Please describe: a) What molecule do you recommend for the trial. Why? b) Your trial requires that Staphylococcus aureus be isolated from the wound and submitted to genome sequencing before admittance. Why? What are you testing for? 3) If a mutation arises where the Promoter P3 is constitutively active, how would that influence sensitivity to AIP? Please explain your rationale. 4) This pathway is sensitive to bacterial cell density. Describe two separate mutation that would render the pathway active independent of cell density. Briefly explain your rationale. Mutation 1 Mutation 2
