Chapter 36, Problem 7WIO
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The types of behaviors that are favored by natural selection in cuckoo and cowbirds and in the adoptive parents.
Concept introduction:
The process by which an organism that is better adopted according to the environment is liable and tend to live and can produce their offspring’s. This is the statement of natural selection theory. This theory was given by Charles Darwin. In the present days it is considered to be the main reason for the evolution.

If a bacterium using aerobic respiration was to degrade a 30 mM solution of citric acid, how many ATP would that cell make? Assume no other carbon source is available.
Units cannot be entered in this style of question but the units of your answer should be in mM of ATP.
How much ATP will be produced during the following metabolic scenario:
Aerobic respiration of a 5mM lipid solution that is made up of one glycerol and an 8-carbon fatty acid and 12-carbon fatty acid. Recall that when glycerol breaks down to Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate it costs one ATP but your get an extra FADH2. Every two carbons of a fatty acid break down to one acetyl-CoA. (pathways will be provided on the exam)
Units cannot be entered in this style of question but the units of your answer should be in mM of ATP.
When beta-lactamase was isolated from Staphylcoccus aureus and treated with a phosphorylating agent, only the active site, serine was phosphorylated. Additionally, the serine was found to constitute 0.35% (by weight) of this beta-lactamase enzyme. Using this, calculate the molecular weight of this enzyme and estimate the number of amino acids present in the polypeptide.

A researcher wants to study the effectiveness of a pill intended to reduce stomach heartburn in pregnant women. The researcher chooses randomly 400 women to participate in this experiment for 9 months of their pregnancy period. They all need to have the same diet. The researcher designs two groups of 200 participants: One group take the real medication intended to reduce heartburn, while the other group take placebo medication. In this study what are: Independent variable: Dependent variable: Control variable: Experimental group: " Control group: If the participants do not know who is consuming the real pills and who is consuming the sugar pills. This study is It happens that 40% of the participants do not find the treatment helpful and drop out after 6 months. The researcher throws out the data from subjects that drop out.
