Summary Introduction

To analyze:

Estimate the value of ∆G (change in Gibbs free energy) for the uncoupled reaction and the two steps in the coupled reaction.

Introduction:

The reactions that are spontaneous and release energy are called exergonic reactions, whereas the reactions that require the input of energy to proceed are endergonic reactions. These reactions are nonspontaneous. The ATP hydrolysis is an exergonic reaction and nearly 7.3 kcal of energy per mole is released during this reaction.

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) hydrolysis releases 7.3 kcal of free energy and the ATP hydrolysis is coupled to an endergonic reaction.

If using animals in medical experiments could save human lives, is it ethical to do so? In your answer, apply at least one ethical theory in support of your position.
You aim to test the hypothesis that the Tbx4 and Tbx5 genes inhibit each other's expression during limb development. With access to chicken embryos and viruses capable of overexpressing Tbx4 and Tbx5, describe an experiment to investigate whether these genes suppress each other's expression in the limb buds. What results would you expect if they do repress each other? What results would you expect if they do not repress each other?
You decide to delete Fgf4 and Fgf8 specifically in the limb bud. Explain why you would not knock out these genes in the entire embryo instead.
