Acetogens are microorganism which can work in aerobic conditios only. Thermodynamically it doesn't give insight into how much energy an organism actually captures or how much it can be useful. Thus thermodynamically using ethanol is favourable
2) Based on thermodynamics, is ethanol more likely to be used as an electron donor for...
Please Helpe me out with this! 1. first balance everything that is not 0 or H 2. balance O with H2o 3. balance H 4. balance charge with electrons Do the proces for each one! separate! ethanol a, ethanol b, ethanol c.... Consider the metabolism of ethanol (CHaCH20H) by microorganisms. Ethanol is being oxidized to CO2. The three available electron acceptors are: (a) Nitrate (NO3) reduced to N2 (b) Oxygen (02) reduced to H20 (c) Sulfur (S) reduced to H2S...
1. Why are two photosystems needed when H2O is used as an electron donor? 2. How do antenna chlorophylls differ from reaction center chlorophylls? 3. What are the ways that organisms obtain energy and carbon from the environment? What are the names used to describe these organisms?
5. The alcohol CH CH SH has an unusually small pka of approximately 9.4 relative to ethanol, CH CH OH (pka - 16). a. Is CH,CH,SH more or less acidic than ethanol? (2 pts) b. Draw the conjugate base for each and explain the difference in acidity between CH, CH SH and CH CH2OH by analyzing the structures of the conjugate bases. (4 pts) c. Provide an arrow-pushing scheme for the reaction of one mole of CH,CH,SH with one mole...
52. Based on the information in Table 20.1 below, which of the following is more likely to spontaneously occur? Page 10 A) Silver (Ag*')ion is reduced to silver metal. B) Zinc (Zn) ion is reduced to zinc metal. C) Zinc metal is oxidized to zine (Zn) ion. D) Copper (Cu) metal is oxidized to copper ion (Cu) TABLE 20.1 - Standard Reduction Potentials in Water at 25°C EV Reduction Half-Reaction FAG) +262 Flag +1.51 Mno," + H+ 3M + 4H00...
Redox: The best initial electron donor for an organism performing fermentation would be ___, while the best final electron acceptor would be ___ . Use the information from the redox couples below to answer the fill in the blank questions, using the letter after each substance. (i.e. if you believe that the answer is CoQ fill in the appropriate blank with the letter A). Each letter (substance) may be used more than once. Hint: put the redox couples into an...
Redox : If members of the redox couples above were used to set up the most energetically favorable chemical reaction, the initial electron donor should be ___and the final electron acceptor should be ___. Use the information from the redox couples below to answer the fill in the blank questions, using the letter after each substance. (i.e. if you believe that the answer is CoQ fill in the appropriate blank with the letter A). Each letter (substance) may be used...
2. Based on the chemical formula of methanol (CH,OH), ethanol (C2H5OH), propanol (C3H7OH) and butanol (C4H9OH), arrange these alcohols in order of increasing value ?? (lowest to highest), Explain your reasoning for your proposed order of increasing AH values for these four alcohols. 3.
2. (3 pts) Would proper termination of transcription in eukaryotes be more likely to be blocked by a mutation that inactivated CstF or polyA polymerase? Explain. Grading: 1 pt for indicating which mutation would be more likely to prevent proper termination. 0.5 pt for explaining the normal function of CstF; 0.5 pt for explaining the normal function of polyA polymerase; 1 pt for explaining why the mutation you chose would be more likely to prevent proper termination, with reference to...
1. Why is iPS cell therapy using third-party donor cells more feasible than using cells donated from the patient being treated? O Treatment with iPS cells is much more cost prohibitive when iPS cells are donated by the patient being treated. O Donor iPS cells from the patient cannot be used because they contain the disease being treated. O Third-party donor cells are less likely to contain dangerous mutations that can lead to tumor formation. O Third-party donors are screened...
