a.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The number of axes in the knee and the patellofemoral joint.

Introduction: The knee joint is the largest joint in the human body, which is formed by the bones, ligaments, tendons, cartilages, and other tissues.

a.

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

The knee joint is uniaxial but the patellofemoral jointdoesnot haveany axes. The knee joint is formed by the articulations between the patella, tibia, and femur. The patellofemoral joint helps in the protection of the knee joint.

b.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The shape of the knee and the patellofemoral joint.

b.

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

The knee joint is a synovial hinge type of joint whereas the patellofemoral joint is irregular in shape. The knee joint is not a true hinge-like elbow joint because it has rotational components.

c.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The type of motions allowed in the knee and the patellofemoral joints.

c.

Expert Solution

Explanation of Solution

The motions allowed in the knee joint are flexion and extension. The motion allowed in the patellofemoral joint is gliding only.

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.
When beta-lactamase was isolated from Staphylcoccus aureus and treated with a phosphorylating agent, only the active site, serine was phosphorylated. Additionally, the serine was found to constitute 0.35% (by weight) of this beta-lactamase enzyme. Using this, calculate the molecular weight of this enzyme and estimate the number of amino acids present in the polypeptide.
