Chapter 20, Problem 18CONQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The function of inverted repeat sequences during transposition.
Introduction:
The sequence of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) that changes the position in the genome, and at times reverses or creates mutations, thus altering the genome size and genetic identity of the cell is known as a transposable element. 0The result of copying of the similar genetic material is transposition. It was discovered in 1983, by Barbara McClintock, for which she even won a noble prize.

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?
