Textbook Question
Chapter 14, Problem 2P
The unicellular, rod-shaped bacterium E. coli is ˜2 μm long and 0.8 μm wide, and has a genome consisting of a single 4.6 Mb circular DNA molecule. The unicellular archaean Methanosarcina acetivorans is spherical
(coccus-shaped) with a diameter of 3 μm and has a 5.7 Mb circular genome. The unicellular eukaryote Saccharomyces cerevisiae is roughly spherical, with a diameter of 5–10 μm. It has a haploid genome of 12 Mb divided among 16 linear chromosomes. Given these descriptions, how could you determine whether a new, uncharacterized microorganism was a bacterium, an archaean, or a eukaryote?

- We will be starting a group project next week where you and your group will research and ultimately present on a current research article related to the biology of a pathogen that infects humans. The article could be about the pathogen itself, the disease process related to the pathogen, the immune response to the pathogen, vaccines or treatments that affect the pathogen, or other biology-related study about the pathogen. I recommend that you choose a pathogen that is currently interesting to researchers, so that you will be able to find plenty of articles about it. Avoid choosing a historical disease that no longer circulates. List 3 possible pathogens or diseases that you might want to do for your group project.arrow_forwardnot use ai pleasearrow_forwardDNK dagi nukleotidlar va undan sintezlangan oqsildagi peptid boglar farqi 901 taga teng bo'lib undagi A jami H boglardan 6,5 marta kam bo'lsa DNK dagi jami H bog‘lar sonini topingarrow_forward
- 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?arrow_forwardIf a cell is growing on 5 glucose molecules, how much ATP can be produced using oxidative phosphorylation/aerobic respiration?arrow_forwardHow do i know which way the arrows go?arrow_forward
