The number of calories that are produced when 1 gram (gm) of carbohydrate, protein, and fat is oxidized and total kilocalories consumed. Calculate the kilocalories consumed if the person ate 100 gm of food, which consists of 20% protein, 30% carbohydrate, as well as 10% fat. Introduction: Nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats are important for the production of energy in the body. They are broken down to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate). They give different amounts of energy. For example, carbohydrate gives 4 kcal/gm (kilocalories per gram) and fat yields 9 kcal/gm of energy. Kilocalorie is the unit that measures the energy value of the food.

The diagram below illustrates a quorum sensing pathway from Staphylococcus aureus. Please answer the following questions. 1. Autoinduction is part of the quorum sensing system. Which promoter (P2 or P3) is critical for autoinduction? 2)This staphylococcus aureus grows on human wounds, causing severe infections. You would like to start a clinical trial to treat these wound infections. Please describe: a) What molecule do you recommend for the trial. Why? b) Your trial requires that Staphylococcus aureus be isolated from the wound and submitted to genome sequencing before admittance. Why? What are you testing for? 3) If a mutation arises where the Promoter P3 is constitutively active, how would that influence sensitivity to AIP? Please explain your rationale. 4) This pathway is sensitive to bacterial cell density. Describe two separate mutation that would render the pathway active independent of cell density. Briefly explain your rationale. Mutation 1 Mutation 2
