Summary Introduction

To determine: The irreversible process in terms of the entropy changes in the system, surroundings, and the universe is to discuss where there is a system consisting of an egg in an incubator; the white and yolk of the egg contains proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids, and if the egg is fertilized, the complex organism is formed from a single cell.

Introduction:

The “system” is defined as the region where the molecules react with other and are collectively differ from surroundings. The region of the universe minus the system is called “surroundings”.

Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution

Explanation:

The fertilization of egg and formation of mature chick is the complete series of reactions.

The system is considered as egg and its related developmental reactions. The yolk, eggshell and region aorta from egg are collectively termed as surroundings.

The division of single cell and formation of multiple cells increases the order of reaction. The increase in order of reaction reduces the system ‘entropy.

The molecules acting as fuel in surroundings has low entropy and gradually they convert to smaller molecules, such as water and carbon dioxide. The entropy is increased in surroundings. There is a significant difference in entropy decreased of chick and entropy increased of surroundings.

Conclusion

Conclusion:

The egg divides and multiple cells are formed that differentiate and form mature chick. The entropy is decreased of chick and the entropy increases of surroundings.

Draw a diagram to demonstrate 3' to 5' exonuclease activity?
1. Write the piece of mRNA that would code for the amino acid sequence NH3 - met - tyr - cys- his- CO2.  Label the 5' and 3' ends. (diagram attached)  2.
You were tasked with purifying an untagged transcription factor (molecular weight 65,000Da, isoelectric point unknown) from a contaminant Protein A (molecular weight 50,000 Da, isoelectric point 5.0). You were also instructed to use the protein for crystallization studies after purification.i) In the initial purification step, which type of chromatography should you attempt? Explain your choice and specify the requirements of the buffer solution you should use. ii) Analyzing the proteins recovered from step i) using SDS-PAGE, you still observed a faint band of Protein A in addition to the transcription factor band. Given the limited time available for further purification, you must choose ONE appropriate chromatography method to maximize the chances of separating the two proteins as well as your crystallization studies. Provide a detailed explanation of your selection and the techniques/strategies you would employ to achieve this.
