Suggest a reason why the cell membranes of bacteria grown at 20°C tend to have a higher proportion of unsaturated fatty acids than the membranes of bacteria of the same species grown at 37°C. In other words, the bacteria grown at 37°C have a higher proportion of saturated fatty acids in their cell membranes.
Suppose the concentration of glucose inside a cell is 0.1 mM and the
cell is suspended in a glucose solution of 0.01 mM.

10-6 mole of glucose from the medium into the cell? Assume
T = 37 °C.
(b) What would be the free energy change involved in transporting
10-6 mole of glucose from the medium into the cell if the intracel-
lular and extracellular concentrations were 1 mM and 10 mM,
respectively?
(c) If the processes described in parts (a) and (b) were coupled to ATP
hydrolysis, how many moles of ATP would have to be hydrolyzed in
order to make each process favorable? (Use the standard free energy
change for ATP hydrolysis.)
