Question
Chapter 25.5, Problem 8P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The way in which the bacteria regain their original fluidity has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Phosphoglycerides form membranes by arranging themselves in a lipid bilayer.
The polar heads of the phosphoglycerides are on both surfaces of the bilayer and fatty acids form the interior of the bilayer.

A colony of bacteria accustomed to an environment with a temperature of 25 °C was moved to an identical environment, except that its temperature was 35 °C. The higher temperature increased the fluidity of the bacterial membranes. How can the bacteria regain their original membrane fluidity?
An 80 kg subject consumed a snack that contained 50 g of carbohydrate. Before eating the snack the subject’s blood glucose was 5.5 mM. Calculate the concentration of glucose (mM) that would be reached in the blood after consuming the snack.Assume that all the carbohydrate in the snack was converted to glucose, rapidly absorbed and distributed throughout the extracellular water (ECW) within 30 minutes. Assume ECW is approximately 20% of body weight and the glucose is not metabolised further.
Provide an example of a molecule in which a covalent bond does NOT share electrons
equally. How does this bond impact the ability of the molecule to dissolve in water?
Explain your answer.
A researcher designs two lipid bilayers. The first sample contains a bilayer with lipids
that have 14 Carbons while the other sample contains a bilayer with lipids that have 8
Carbons. Given these two designs, which bilayer sample would allow the most
movement across the bilayer? Explain your answer.

- Does washing your hands with soap help prevent the spread of coronavirus? The structure of soap molecules is like the lipids in the membrane layer of the virus. The soap molecules can surround the virus and remove it from the skin. It is also thought that soap molecules can disrupt the lipids in the membrane and can therefore 'disintegrate' the virus. Sodium laurate is a common soap molecule. It has the formula CHa(CH 2) 10 CO2- Na.. Sodium laurate can be produced from coconut oil and sodium hydroxide. Questions: 1. What are the reactants needed for this reaction? 2. Write down the chemical reaction in the production of sodium laurate. 3. What do you call the process in soap preparation?arrow_forward٢٥arrow_forwardThe molar mass of an enzyme was measured by dissolving the 3.221 grams of the enzyme in 1.00 liter of water. The osmotic pressure of the solution was 5.746 cm of solution at 20°C (assume the density of the solution is 1.00 g/mL and the density of mercury is 13.56 g/mL).

- A researcher hypothesizes that a solute enters a cell by facilitated diffusion. He places different concentrations of the solute in the extracellular medium to obtain the following data. Do his data support his hypothesis? A. yes because the rate of solute entry into the cell is the same for high concentrations of solute B. yes because the rate of solute entry into the cell changes for low concentrations of solute C. no because the rate of solute entry into the cell is the same for high concentrations of solute D. no because the rate of solute entry into the cell changes for low concentrations of solutearrow_forward2.00 g of an unknown protein was dissolved in water to make 0.100 L of solution.
