A.

Summary Introduction

To examine: Whether the statement “All of the energy produced is in the form of heat” is correct or incorrect.

Introduction: In the cellular respiration, with the help of oxygen, cells break down the glucose molecule into simpler forms. From the oxidation of glucose water, carbon dioxide is exhaled with some chemical energy in the form of ATP and small amount of heat.

B.

Summary Introduction

To examine: Whether the statement “None of the produced energy is in the form of heat” is correct or incorrect.

Introduction: During the cellular respiration, nutrients are converted into biochemical energy in the form of ATP. This process leads to the breakdown of large molecules into smaller molecules. Glucose breaks down during respiration to form energy in the form of ATP. ATP acts as stored energy molecules that are utilized to drive energy requiring for the biosynthesis process.

C.

Summary Introduction

To examine: Whether the statement “The energy is produced by a process that involves the oxidation of carbon atoms” is correct or incorrect.

Introduction: Cellular respiration is one of the key mechanisms that take place in the cells of organisms for the purpose of cellular activity and excretion of waste products. Aerobic respiration is a type of cellular respiration in which oxygen is consumed as a reactant to generate adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

D.

Summary Introduction

To examine: Whether the statement “The reaction supplies the cell with essential water” is correct or incorrect.

Introduction: Photosynthesis is a process in which the green plants and algae synthesize their nutrients. This process takes place in the chloroplast where chlorophyll molecules are present. The chloroplast contains the thylakoid membrane where the light reaction takes place. The end product of the light reaction is the formation of ATP and NADPH, which together helps in driving the Calvin cycle in the stroma of the chloroplast.

E.

Summary Introduction

To examine: Whether the statement “In cells, the reaction takes place in more than one step” is correct or incorrect.

Introduction: Photosynthesis is a process by which carbon dioxide and water are used to produce glucose molecules using energy from sunlight. During this process, oxygen gas is evolved. Reactions of photosynthesis take place in the chloroplast of the plant cell that contains the green pigment chlorophyll.

F.

Summary Introduction

To examine: Whether the statement “Many steps in the oxidation of sugar molecules involve in the reaction with oxygen gas.” is correct or incorrect.

Introduction: Glycolysis is a sugar splitting metabolic pathway that breaks down a six carbon glucose molecule into two or three carbon molecules called pyruvate. During this process, two adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecules and two molecules of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) are produced.

G.

Summary Introduction

To examine: Whether the statement “Some organisms carry out the reverse reaction.” is correct or incorrect.

Introduction: Plants are non-motile living beings that are capable of producing their own food by utilizing the sunlight and carbon dioxide.

H.

Summary Introduction

To examine: Whether the statement “Some cells that grow in the absence of O2 produce CO2.” is correct or incorrect.

Introduction: All living forms like plants, animals, and bacteria are composed of cells. The two basic types of cells are eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. The organisms lacking nucleus in their cells are included in prokaryotes like bacteria and the organisms with a true nucleus in their cells are included in eukaryotes like plants and animals.

. Consider a base substitution mutation that occurred in a DNA sequence that resulted in a change in the encoded protein from the amino acid glutamic acid to aspartic acid. Normally the glutamic acid amino acid is located on the outside of the soluble protein but not near an active site. O-H¨ A. What type of mutation occurred? O-H B. What 2 types of chemical bonds are found in the R-groups of each amino acid? The R groups are shaded. CH2 CH2 CH2 H2N-C-COOH H2N-C-COOH 1 H Glutamic acid H Aspartic acid C. What 2 types of bonds could each R-group of each of these amino acids form with other molecules? D. Consider the chemical properties of the two amino acids and the location of the amino acid in the protein. Explain what effect this mutation will have on this protein's function and why.
engineered constructs that consist of hollow fibers are acting as synthetic capillaries, around which cells have been loaded. The cellular space around a single fiber can be modeled as if it were a Krogh tissue cylinder. Each fiber has an outside “capillary” radius of 100 µm and the “tissue” radius can be taken as 200 µm. The following values apply to the device:R0 = 20 µM/secaO2 = 1.35 µM/mmHgDO2,T = 1.67 x 10-5 cm2/secPO2,m = 4 x 10-3 cm/secInstead of blood inside the fibers, the oxygen transport and tissue consumption are being investigated by usingan aqueous solution saturated with pure oxygen. As a result, there is no mass transfer resistance in the synthetic“capillary”, only that due to the membrane itself. Rather than accounting for pO2 variations along the length ofthe fiber, use an average value in the “capillary” of 130 mmHg.Is the tissue fully oxygenated?
Molecular Biology Please help with question. thank you You are studying the expression of the lac operon. You have isolated mutants as described below. In the presence of glucose, explain/describe what would happen, for each mutant, to the expression of the lac operon when you add lactose AND what would happen when the bacteria has used up all of the lactose (if the mutant is able to use lactose).5. Mutations in the lac operator that strengthen the binding of the lac repressor 200 fold 6. Mutations in the promoter that prevent binding of RNA polymerase 7. Mutations in CRP/CAP protein that prevent binding of cAMP8. Mutations in sigma factor that prevent binding of sigma to core RNA polymerase
