Summary Introduction
To determine:
A simple way of testing pinworm infection in kids, using clear adhesive tape.
Introduction:
Pinworm infection is a very common infection of young children. It is cause by Enterobius vermicularis and involves infestation of the large intestine. These worms are excreted from the anus of the infected person along with faecal matter.

9. Aerobic respiration of one lipid molecule. The lipid is composed of one glycerol molecule connected to two
fatty acid tails. One fatty acid is 12 carbons long and the other fatty acid is 18 carbons long in the figure
below. Use the information below to determine how much ATP will be produced from the glycerol part of
the lipid. Then, in part B, determine how much ATP is produced from the 2 fatty acids of the lipid. Finally
put the NADH and ATP yields together from the glycerol and fatty acids (part A and B) to determine your
total number of ATP produced per lipid. Assume no other carbon source is available.
