The differences between a unicellular green algae and a single–celled photosynthetic bacterium. The difference in features of an amoeba and a large green algae such as sea lettuce. Introduction: The unicellular green algae are small unicellular organisms with the presence of green plastids containing chloroplasts. They prepare food by fixing photosynthesis by absorbing sunlight. The single-celled photosynthetic bacterium is called as cyanobacteria, which have green chloroplasts for the process of photosynthesis. Amoebas are small protozoans with the presence of small food and contractile vacuoles. The outer surface forms pseudopodia, which helps in the movement of these organisms. The sea lettuce or Ulva has long branched leaves with a multicellular thallus. They also have the pigment chlorophyll for initiating the process of photosynthesis.

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.

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. (pathways will be provided on the exam) Units cannot be entered in this style of question but the units of your answer should be in mM of ATP.
