Glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + ATP (adenosine triphosphate) 1. The reversibility of the oxidative breakdown of glucose. 2. Whether the chemical equation is in chemical equilibrium . 3. The definition of chemical equilibrium. Introduction: Oxidative breakdown of glucose involves the breakdown of the energy-rich compound in the presence of oxygen to form carbon dioxide, water, and energy. This is the respiration process of the eukaryotic organism. The ATP synthesized during the reaction is used by the cells as a source of energy. This ATP is used by the cells for making the various subunits of the macromolecules. This is a type of biosynthetic reaction.

The diagram below illustrates a quorum sensing pathway from Staphylococcus aureus. Please answer the following questions. 1. Autoinduction is part of the quorum sensing system. Which promoter (P2 or P3) is critical for autoinduction? 2)This staphylococcus aureus grows on human wounds, causing severe infections. You would like to start a clinical trial to treat these wound infections. Please describe: a) What molecule do you recommend for the trial. Why? b) Your trial requires that Staphylococcus aureus be isolated from the wound and submitted to genome sequencing before admittance. Why? What are you testing for? 3) If a mutation arises where the Promoter P3 is constitutively active, how would that influence sensitivity to AIP? Please explain your rationale. 4) This pathway is sensitive to bacterial cell density. Describe two separate mutation that would render the pathway active independent of cell density. Briefly explain your rationale. Mutation 1 Mutation 2
