Chapter 15, Problem 1Q
Summary Introduction

To explain: The membrane proteins can diffuse freely between the two nuclear membranes, yet each of these nuclear membranes has a different protein composition.

Introduction: The nuclear envelope that is present in the cell consists of outer and inner nuclear membrane and these membranes consist of different proteins with different composition and structures. The inner membrane is lined with a fiber network which will give strength to the inner membrane proteins.

Explanation of Solution

The nucleolus and genetic material present in the eukaryotic cells are surrounded by a lipid bilayer membrane called the nuclear envelope. It is also known as a nuclear membrane. The inner and outer nuclear membrane forms a continuous sheet and will be joined around the nuclear pores. The outer and inner membrane consists of the membrane proteins with special functions.

The outer membrane contains of nesprin proteins which connect the cytoskeletal filaments to the nucleoskeleton. The inner membrane consists of the nucleoplasm and is surrounded by the nuclear lamina. The outer and inner membrane is connected by the nuclear pore.

There are chances for the proteins to diffuse between the inner and outer nuclear membrane around the nuclear pores but the protein composition is different in both the membranes. The proteins present in the inner membrane interact with other components present in their membranes like the chromosomes and nuclear lamina.

How much ATP will be produced during the following metabolic scenario: Aerobic respiration of a 5mM lipid solution that is made up of one glycerol and an 8-carbon fatty acid and 12-carbon fatty acid. Recall that when glycerol breaks down to Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate it costs one ATP but your get an extra FADH2. Every two carbons of a fatty acid break down to one acetyl-CoA.  Units cannot be entered in this style of question but the units of your answer should be in mM of ATP.
If a bacterium using aerobic respiration was to degrade one small protein molecule into 8 molecules of pyruvic acid, how many ATP would that cell make? Assume there is no other carbon source.   Units cannot be entered in this style of question but the units of your answer should be in molecules of ATP.
If a bacterium using aerobic respiration was to degrade a 30 mM solution of citric acid, how many ATP would that cell make?  Assume no other carbon source is available.  Units cannot be entered in this style of question but the units of your answer should be in mM of ATP.
