Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The meaning of three peaks in the graph A should be determined.
Concept introduction:
The complex composition of rRNA (ribosomal RNA) and protein molecules is termed as the ribosomes. It acts as a factory for the process of protein synthesis. They are mostly found attached to the endoplasmic reticulum, and some ribosomes are found to suspend freely in the cytoplasm of the cell.
(b)
Interpretation:
The reason for the more complex nature of graph B should be determined.
The meaning of small peaks at right corner of the graph should be determined.
Concept introduction:
The complex composition of rRNA (ribosomal RNA) and protein molecules is termed as the ribosomes. It acts as a factory for the process of protein synthesis. They are mostly found attached to the endoplasmic reticulum, and some ribosomes are found to suspend freely in the cytoplasm of the cell.
(c)
Interpretation:
The effect of growing the cells under hypoxic conditions should be determined.

- 3. (15 points) Living cells homogeneously distributed (immobilized) with an agarose gel require glucose to survive. An important aspect of the biochemical system design is the effective diffusion coefficient of glucose (A) into the cell- immobilized gel. Consider the experiment shows below where a slab of the cell-immobilized gel of 1.0cm thickness is placed within a well-mixed aqueous solution of glucose maintained at a concentration of 50 mmol/L. The glucose consumption within the cell-immobilized gel proceeds by a zero-order process given by R₁ = -0.05 mmol/(L min). The solubilities of glucose in both the water and the gel are the same; that is, the concentration of the glucose on the water side of the water-gel interface is equal to the concentration of the glucose on the gel side of the water gel interface. A syringe is mounted at the center of the gel carefully excises a tiny sample of the gel for glucose analysis. A Well mixed solution Constant concentration 50nmol/L Living…arrow_forwardTwo tetrapeptides were isolated from a possum's sweat glands.
