Chapter 22, Problem 22.17QP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The term mitochondrion has to be defined.

Concept Introduction:

Cell is defined as the smallest and the basic unit of all organisms. It is the functional unit present in all the organisms. Cell consists of three units that are nucleus, cytoplasm and cell membrane. Cytoplasm consists of small structures known as organelles. Mitochondria is one of the organelles present in the cell.

Explanation of Solution

Mitochondria are capsule-shaped organelles similar to the size of a bacterial cell also called as powerhouse of the cell. Mitochondria are double-membrane organelle surrounded by an outer mitochondrial membrane and an inner mitochondrial membrane.

The space between the outer membrane and inner membranes is called intermembrane space. The space inside an inner mitochondrial membrane is called matrix that contains many enzymes of the Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation. The outer mitochondrial membrane protects the organelle and contains many small pores that allow free passage of various molecules into intermembrane space.

Mitochondria transform chemical energy from the food intake into energy that the cell can use. This process is called oxidative phosphorylation.

An orange laser has a wavelength of 610 nm. What is the energy of this light?
The molar absorptivity of a protein in water at 280 nm can be estimated within ~5-10% from its content of the amino acids tyrosine and tryptophan and from the number of disulfide linkages (R-S-S-R) between cysteine residues:   Ε280 nm (M-1 cm-1) ≈ 5500 nTrp + 1490 nTyr + 125 nS-S   where nTrp is the number of tryptophans, nTyr is the number of tyrosines, and nS-S is the number of disulfide linkages. The protein human serum transferrin has 678 amino acids including 8 tryptophans, 26 tyrosines, and 19 disulfide linkages. The molecular mass of the most dominant for is 79550.   Predict the molar absorptivity of transferrin. Predict the absorbance of a solution that’s 1.000 g/L transferrin in a 1.000-cm-pathlength cuvet. Estimate the g/L of a transferrin solution with an absorbance of 1.50 at 280 nm.
