Chapter 17.4, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
A collection of the total genomic DNA from a single organism is called a genomic library. In the genomic library, the DNA is stockpiled in a population of identical vectors. Each of them carries a different insert of DNA. The genomic library is constructed by cleaving the genome of an organism into many fragments. Each of the fragments is cloned into a vector in order to synthesize a unique recombinant plasmid.

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?
If a cell is growing on 5 glucose molecules, how much ATP can be produced using oxidative phosphorylation/aerobic respiration?
How do i know which way the arrows go?
