Summary Introduction

To analyze:

The change in the person’s hematocrit value after a significant blood loss.

Introduction:

The hematocrit value is the volume of the formed elements (blood cells) in the blood. It is calculated by the centrifugation of blood samples. This causes the separation of the blood cells into different zones and fractions containing red blood cells and white blood cells. The decrease in hematocrit volume is caused by the loss of blood, due to an internal bleeding or an accident. This causes a decrease in the volume of the blood cells and platelets thus reducing the hematocrit value.

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.
