Textbook Question
Chapter 14, Problem 12Q
A very small number of people have a condition called vibratory urticaria. In this condition, physical vibrations (bumpy bus rides, jackhammers, running) can cause skin rashes. Scientists have found a genetic mutation in a single gene for a protein that stabilizes the surface of immune cells. You take it from here: What would a mutation in that protein possibly lead to?

One of the ways for a cell to generate ATP is through the oxidative phosphorylation. In oxidative phosphorylation 3 ATP are produced from every one NADH molecule. In respiration, every glucose molecule produces 10 NADH molecules. If a cell is growing on 5 glucose molecules, how much ATP can be produced using oxidative phosphorylation/aerobic respiration?
