Summary Introduction

To calculate: The number of protons that have to flow across the inner mitochondrial membrane to synthesize one ATP molecule if the ΔG for the ATP synthesis under intracellular conditions is between 46 and 54 kJ/mole.

Introduction: ATP synthases are the membrane-bound enzyme complexes that participate in the ATP synthesis (forms ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate). The proton energy gradient across the mitochondrial inner membrane provides energy for ATP synthesis.

Summary Introduction

To explain: The reason that the range of ΔG value is not a precise number for ATP synthesis.

Introduction: ATP is synthesized in the F1F0 complex present in the mitochondria. The mitochondrial ATP synthase complexes are generally found in the inner mitochondrial membrane and helps in the generation of ATP for cellular processes.

Summary Introduction

To explain: Under which conditions would the lower value of ΔG be applied for ATP synthesis.

Introduction: Energy is necessary for all living organisms to perform their life processes. Living cells obtain energy in a different form and they also have the mechanisms to alter energy from one form to another form. ATP is known as the immediate “energy currency” of the cell. ATP is continually produced from ADP and inorganic phosphate through cellular respiration or photosynthesis.

If you transplant trunk neural crest into the cranial neural crest region of a developing embryo, will you see the donor tissue form cartilage? Does the neural crest only give rise to two cells in the developing embryo, and is essential for lamprey to develop their jaw structure? Does a multipotent neural crest cell that is receiving Wnt signals become a Chromaffin cell?
Using quail and chick embryos, quail-specific antibody and fluorescent tissue-specific antibodies, design an experiment where you investigate the tissues the cranial neural crest can give rise to.  What are four derivatives of the cranial neural crest that you expect to see in the resulting chimeric embryos?
Does the neural crest have to undergo epithelial to mesenchymal transition prior to migration through the developing embryo?  Does the neural crest differentiate into different cell types based on their axial position along the anterior and posterior axis?
