Chapter 27.2, Problem 2CS
Summary Introduction
To determine: A flow diagram showing sequential stages of formation of dental plaque biofilm with reference to figure 27.8 given in the textbook. Also indicate which type of bacteria among purple, green, and blue will attach to the surface first.
Introduction: Biofilm is an aggregation and accumulation of microorganisms that secrete various types of adhesive mucilage and glue themselves to the surfaces. These biofilms allow microbes to live in a location that are favorable for their growth.

9. Aerobic respiration of one lipid molecule. The lipid is composed of one glycerol molecule connected to two
fatty acid tails. One fatty acid is 12 carbons long and the other fatty acid is 18 carbons long in the figure
below. Use the information below to determine how much ATP will be produced from the glycerol part of
the lipid. Then, in part B, determine how much ATP is produced from the 2 fatty acids of the lipid. Finally
put the NADH and ATP yields together from the glycerol and fatty acids (part A and B) to determine your
total number of ATP produced per lipid. Assume no other carbon source is available.

- You aim to test the hypothesis that the Tbx4 and Tbx5 genes inhibit each other's expression during limb development. With access to chicken embryos and viruses capable of overexpressing Tbx4 and Tbx5, describe an experiment to investigate whether these genes suppress each other's expression in the limb buds.
