Summary Introduction

To determine: The minimum number of neurons required in the simplest reflex.

Introduction: A reflex action is a fast movement of a body part in response to the stimulus. There are various types of reflexes. Simplex reflex is the most basic type of reflex.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The minimum number of synapse required in the simplest reflex.

Introduction: Synapse is defined as the gap between the nerve endings of the two neurons. The signals are transferred from one neuron to the other through these synapses which release neurotransmitters.

Summary Introduction

To determine: An example of the simplest reflex.

Introduction: The reflex is an instant and involuntary movement of a body part that occurs in response to the stimulus. There are various types of reflexes. Simplex reflex is the most basic type of reflex.

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.  Units cannot be entered in this style of question but the units of your answer should be in mM of ATP.
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.
