Textbook Question
Chapter 20, Problem 1CCS
A 20-year-old male reports to his physician that he has experienced painful urination, as if he were urinating molten solder. He has also noticed a puslike discharge from his penis. A stained smear of the discharge is shown in the photo.
The patient reports having been sexually active with two or three women in the previous six months. Because his partners reported being “absolutely sure” that they wouldn’t get pregnant and carried no sexually transmitted diseases, the patient had not used a condom.
- 1. What disease does this patient most likely have? What are the medical and common names for this disease?
- 2. How did the patient acquire the disease?
- 3. What could explain the lack of any history of sexually transmitted disease in his sexual partners?
- 4. What is the likely treatment?
- 5. Is the patient immune to future infections with this bacterium?

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?
