Answer to Problem 1RQ

Solution:

(a) Complete oxidation of a molecule of sucrose to CO2 and water

Explanation of Solution

Oxidation is a chemical reaction that is defined as the fusion of oxygen with other elements. This reaction is most commonly seen in rusting of iron. Here, there is a gain of oxygen and loss of hydrogen. The breakdown of sucrose into carbon dioxide and water during the oxidation reaction generates 32 molecules of adenosine triphosphate and requires oxygen. It releases the maximum amount of heat. During conversion of ADP (adenosine diphosphate) to ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the ADP undergoes oxidation and releases water and ATP. The energy released is utilized for the cellular functions. During oxidation, the glucose molecules are cleaved into two pyruvates and without oxygen the pyruvate is converted into lactic acid. The glucose reacts with the oxygen and releases carbon dioxide and water. The energy released in this reaction is less.

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
