Chapter 4, Problem 27P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The DNA Polymerase and RNA Polymerase from E. coli needs to be compared on the basis of the activated precursors.

Concept introduction:

DNA Polymerase is an enzyme that helps in the formation of DNA from deoxyribonucleotide, a unit structure of a DNA. This enzyme helps in replication of the DNA strand to form the double helical structure of the DNA. DNA Polymerase reads the existing strand of DNA and synthesizes the new strand which is a replica of the existing strand.

RNA Polymerase is an enzyme that initiates RNA synthesis from a DNA template. This RNA polymerase enzyme opens the double-stranded DNA to expose one strand of the nucleotide so that it can be used as the template for RNA Synthesis.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The DNA Polymerase and RNA Polymerase from E. coli needs to be compared on the basis of

the direction of chain elongation.

The DNA Polymerase and RNA Polymerase from E.coli needs to be compared on the basis of

conservation of template.

2. For the flow of fluid over a flat membrane of length 10cm, determine the length-average mass transfer coefficient. The relevant properties of the system are u=0.01cm²/s, D=5 x 106 cm²/s, and v = 5.0 cm/s.
Background Freezing isn't the only challenge in cryopreservation - thawing can be just as difficult. A microwave oven seems like a nice solution, since it deposits energy quickly and microwaves are non-ionizing radiation (they do not cause DNA mutation). However, water absorbs microwaves more effectively than ice does, meaning that the portion of an organ that has already melted will get warmer at a higher rate than the remaining ice – the opposite of what we want! - The transmission of radiation through a weakly absorbing material such as ice or water can be modeled by Beer's law, which assumes that the rate of absorption at a depth x is proportional to the local radiation intensity I(x) times an absorption coefficient, which is often written as μ or a or just µ). Noting that absorption decreases the intensity, we can write a differential equation a Solving the differential equation with the boundary condition on the surface being gives the relationship For a standard microwave oven…
3. Dry air is inhaled at a rate of 10 liter/min through a trachea with a diameter of 20 mm and a length of 125 mm. The inner surface of the trachea is at a normal body temperature of 37°C and may be assumed to be saturated with water. a. Assuming steady, fully developed flow in the trachea, estimate the mass transfer convection coefficient. b. Estimate the daily water loss (liter/day) associated with evaporation in the trachea.
