Chapter 36, Problem 1P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The free energy source of skeletal muscles, eukaryotic cilia and bacterium flagellum should be compared.

Concept Introduction:

The energy in the biological system is present in the form of chemicals. Different types of cells use different energy sources.

(a)

Expert Solution

Explanation of Solution

During the respiration, ATP molecules are formed in the eukaryotic cells. These ATP molecules stores the energy and they give out energy when hydrolyzed. The eukaryotic cells use ATP as their energy source. Hence, skeletal muscles and ciliause the energy derived from the hydrolysis of ATP.

The bacterium flagellum does not use ATP as an energy source. It uses proton motive force for the propulsion of the flagella. This work by the transportation of the hydrogen ions across the membrane and act like a battery.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The components of skeletal muscles, eukaryotic cilia and bacterium flagellum should be compared.

Concept Introduction:

The cells are composed of different structure that helps them in carrying out different functions in the body. All the components of the cells are essential to carry out the physiological process for living.

(b)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

The skeletal muscles are made up of two types of filaments. These are actin and myosin. During skeletal muscle contraction, the actin filaments slide over the myosin head.

The eukaryotic cilia are made up of microtubules and dynein. The bacterium flagellum is made of motA, motB, FliG and other ancillary components.

9) Below, there is a representation of an SDS-PAGE gel. Assuming the samples in the MW standard have masses of: 66 kDa, 45 kDa, 36 kDa, 29 kDa, 24 kDa, 20.1 kDa, and 14.2 kDa, a) Figure 4: indicate where each of the measurements were taken and label as in II.6. figure 2 above. b) As in II.7. Table 1 above create Table 2 using the data below. Determine the r.f. values for the MW standards, plot the relative mobility versus the log of the mass for the standards, and use the best fit straight line to determine the molecular weights of the proteins in the whey, peak 1, and peak 2 lanes. (5 pts—this will be scaled up appropriately if your gel did not develop properly) dye MW Whey Peak 1 Peak 2
