Summary Introduction

(a)

To write:

The in vitro translation system that consists only of the ribosomes and mRNA. It results in the secretory proteins which were larger than the identical protein when translated in a cell.

Introduction:

A secretory protein refers to a protein released by a cell of the exocrine or endocrine system. These proteins are comprised of many enzymes, hormones, antimicrobial peptides, and toxins. These are produced in the endoplasmic reticulum.

Explanation of Solution

In vitro translation is a method that allows the researchers to quickly express and make small quantities of functional proteins for a diversity of applications. In the absence of endoplasmic reticulum membranes, the complete protein is being translated. Then the ER signal arrangement is left on the protein.

Conclusion

Hence, in the absence of endoplasmic reticulum membranes, the complete protein is being translated.

Summary Introduction

(b)

To write:

The system has the microsomes that make the secretory proteins are identical in size to those found in a cell.

Introduction:

A secretory protein refers to a protein released by a cell of the exocrine or endocrine system. These proteins are comprised of many enzymes, hormones, antimicrobial peptides, and toxins. These are produced in the endoplasmic reticulum.

Expert Solution

Explanation of Solution

When the translation process takes place in the presence of ER-holding microsomes. Then the protein gets translated into the microsomes lumen. This process is followed by the signal sequence. That signal sequence is then cleaved to produce a smaller protein.

Conclusion

Hence, when the translation process takes place in the presence of ER-holding microsomes then the signal sequence is then cleaved to produce a smaller protein.

Summary Introduction

(c)

To write:

The microsomes were added after the in vitro translation process. The newly synthesized proteins were larger than the manufactured in a cell.

Introduction:

In vitro translation is a method which allows the researchers to quickly express and make small quantities of functional proteins for a diversity of applications.

Expert Solution

Explanation of Solution

Translation and translocation through the ER membrane are an instantaneous phenomenon. If they do not take place in the same period, then the protein is not imported in a proper way, into the ER. Normally, this is the site for the cleavage of the signal sequence. But due to the improper import of protein, there is the formation of newly synthesized larger proteins. So, there is a change in the process of post-translational translocation.

Conclusion

Hence, due to the abnormal import of protein into the ER, there is the formation of newly synthesized larger proteins after the in vitro translation process.

3. Shown below is the dental formula and digestive tract anatomy of three mammalian species (A, B, and C). What kind of diet would you expect each species to have? Support your answers with what you can infer from the dental formula and what you can see in the diagram. Broadly speaking, what accounts for the differences? Species A 3/3, 1/1, 4/4, 3/3 cm 30 Species B 0/4, 0/0, 3/3, 3/3 cm 10 Species C 4/3, 1/1, 2/2, 4/4 E 0 cm 20 AIL
Normal dive (for diving humans) normal breathing dive normal breathing Oz level CO₂ level urgent need to breathe Oz blackout zone high CO₂ triggers breathing 6. This diagram shows rates of oxygen depletion and carbon dioxide accumulation in the blood in relation to the levels needed to maintain consciousness and trigger the urgent need to breathe in diving humans. • How might the location and slope of the O2 line differ for diving marine mammals such as whales and dolphins? • How might the location and slope of the CO2 line differ for diving marine mammals such as whales and dolphins? • • Draw in predicted lines for O2 and CO2, based on your reasoning above. How might the location of the Urgent Need to Breathe line and the O2 Blackout Zone line differ for diving marine mammals? What physiological mechanisms account for each of these differences, resulting in the ability of marine mammals to stay submerged for long periods of time?
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.
