Summary Introduction

To determine:

A cell which can efficiently exchange gas and metabolize sugar. Tell the shape, size and organelles in abundance.

Concept introduction:

Metabolism of sugar (carbohydrates) happens partly in the cytosol and partly in the mitochondria. The part happening in the cytosol is called glycolysis and the part in mitochondria consists of citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation. In the whole process glucose is broken down to release CO2 and make ATP molecules in the presence of oxygen.

What Genus is this?
As a medical professional, it is important to be able to discuss how genetic processes such as translation regulation can directly affect patients. Think about some situations that might involve translation regulation.   Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words: Why is translation regulation important? What are some examples of translation regulation in humans? Select one of the examples you provided and explain what happens when translation regulation goes wrong.
The metabolic pathway below is used for the production of the purine nucleotides adenosine monophosphate (AMP) and guanosine monophosphate (GMP) in eukaryotic cells. Assume each arrow represents a reaction catalyzed by a different enzyme. Using the principles of feedback inhibition, propose a regulatory scheme for this pathway that ensures an adequate supply of both AMP and GMP, and prevents the buildup of Intermediates A through G when supplies of both AMP and GMP are adequate.
