(a)
Interpretation:
Whether carbon dioxide can be used to interpret alcoholic fermentation should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Alcoholic fermentation is the anaerobic pathway, which uses sugar such as glucose, fructose, and sucrose to convert into alcohol and carbon dioxides. During this process energy is released in the form of ATP. Overall in this process, 2 moles of glucose are converted to 2 moles of ethanol and 2 mole of carbon dioxide, yielding 2 moles of ATP.
(b)
Interpretation:
The reason of dependence of glucose fermentation on phosphate is to be determined.

(c)

- In 1956, E. P. Kennedy and S. B. Weiss published their study of membrane lipid phosphatidylcholine (lecithin) synthesis in rat liver. Their hypothesis was that phosphocholine joined with some cellular component to yield lecithin. In an earlier experiment, incubating 32 P-labeled phosphocholine at physiological temperature (37 °C) with broken cells from rat liver yielded labeled lecithin. This became their assay for the enzymes involved in lecithin synthesis. Determine the optimal pH for this enzyme and characterize the enzyme activity at different pH values. -O-P-O-CH2-CH₁₂-N(CH3)3 Phosphocholine H₂C-O-C-R HC-O-C-R2 + + + Cell fraction + ?

They determined its structure from the following observations and experiments. (a) Qualitative analysis showed that X was composed entirely of C, H, and O. A weighed sample of X was completely oxidized and the H2O and CO2 produced were measured. This quantitative analysis revealed that X contained 40.00% C, 6.71% H, and 53.29% O by weight. (b) The molecular mass of X, as determined by mass spectrometry, was 90.00 atomic mass units (u). (c) Infrared spectroscopy showed that X contained one double bond. (d) X dissolved readily in water, and the solution demonstrated optical activity when tested in a polarimeter. (e) The aqueous solution of X is acidic.
