Summary Introduction

To determine:

The process by which the people can protect themselves from mosquito-borne pathogens, beside using repellents

Case summary:

An old man had reached at the doctor’s clinic in Ravenna, Italy. He suffered from combination of symptoms including widespread rashes, fever, nausea, and pain in joints. The scientists reported these symptoms as the emergence of chikungunya, which is related to equine encephalitis viruses. Chikungunya disease was more prevalent in the nations of Africa and the Indian Ocean. The Italian patient survived but his crippling pain lasted for several months. He now insists and promotes the use of mosquito repellant.

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.
