Summary Introduction

To describe:

The general functions of catabolism and anabolism.

Introduction:

All the chemical reactions happening in an organism’s body to maintain the body are called metabolic processes. Metabolisms are of two types:anabolism and catabolism. In anabolic processes, organic compounds are made, whereas, in catabolic processes, complex organic compounds are broken down.

Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution

Catabolism breaks down the complex organic compounds. The carbohydrates (polysaccharides) are broken down into disaccharides (sucrose, maltose) and then further to monosaccharide (glucose, fructose). Similarly, fats are broken into fatty acids and glycerol. The proteins are digested into single amino acids.

Anabolism makes complex organic compounds from simple organic molecules. Monosaccharides are joined together by glycosidic linkages to form disaccharides and ultimately polysaccharides (glycogen). Three fatty acid chains are joined to one glycerol molecule to make a triglyceride (common fat). Amino acids are joined to one another by peptide bonds to form proteins.

Conclusion

Catabolism and anabolism of different organic compounds are necessary to gain energy and build the body.

The diagram below illustrates a quorum sensing pathway from Staphylococcus aureus. Please answer the following questions. 1. Autoinduction is part of the quorum sensing system. Which promoter (P2 or P3) is critical for autoinduction? 2)This staphylococcus aureus grows on human wounds, causing severe infections. You would like to start a clinical trial to treat these wound infections. Please describe: a) What molecule do you recommend for the trial. Why? b) Your trial requires that Staphylococcus aureus be isolated from the wound and submitted to genome sequencing before admittance. Why? What are you testing for?  3) If a mutation arises where the Promoter P3 is constitutively active, how would that influence sensitivity to AIP? Please explain your rationale. 4) This pathway is sensitive to bacterial cell density. Describe two separate mutation that would render the pathway active independent of cell density. Briefly explain your rationale. Mutation 1 Mutation 2
