Consider a single murine hepatocyte at homeostasis with its surrounding environment, which includes other neighboring hepatocytes and extra-hepatic tissues. Due to changes in the organism’s activity, this hepatocyte receives signals that trigger the need to synthesize exactly 30 copies of a protein required for altered amino acid metabolism.
1. How many equivalents of ATP are required to synthesize these 30 protein molecules?
2. Under aerobic conditions, how many molecules of glucose must be consumed in order to generate the ATP necessary to complete synthesis of these 30 protein molecules?
3. Under anaerobic conditions, how many molecules of glucose will be needed?
4. In the absence of glucose and under aerobic conditions, how many molecules of a triacylglyceride containing three palmitic acid groups would be needed to supply sufficient ATP?
5. In the absence of glucose and under anaerobic conditions, how many molecules of a triacylglyceride containing three palmitic acid groups would be needed?
Use the following assumptions/constraints when determining your answers:

42. Which statement is NOT true about DNA? a) DNA acts like an enzyme by binding amino acids together using dehydration synthesis. b) Before cells divide both strands must be copied and one is provided for each new cell cm RNA is copied from a piece of DNA termed a gene. d) DNA is not always copied perfectly. Mistakes, mutations, occur and result in changed proteins, e) DNA functions as code for the synthesis of proteins. 43. A section of...

Lab Six: Fermentation Learning Objectives: • Explain the biochemistry of fermentation, substrates and products, conditions, and purpose for cells • Describe alcoholic fermentation of yeast, naming reactants and products Perform a pre-designed experiment to measure the rate of yeast fermentation of glucose under two different conditions. Propose hypotheses and make predictions based on them. Design and perform a novel experiment to test additional substrates for yeast fermentation using findings of the pre-designed experiment....
Bio 121
I need to make (yeast fermentation) lab
report.
This is the lab experiment and results:
This is a guide to making the lab report:
General Biology BIO121 Yeast Fermentation Lab Introduction Organisms stay alive by the utilization of energy through metabolism. The energy acquiring pathways in photosynthesis convert radiant energy from the sun into the chemical bond energy of carbohydrates. This photosynthetic process is limited to the producers or autotrophs, which include plants, photosynthetic bacteria and some protists....
1. According to the paper, what does lactate dehydrogenase
(LDH) do and what does it allow to happen within the myofiber? (5
points)
2. According to the paper, what is the major disadvantage of
relying on glycolysis during high-intensity exercise? (5
points)
3. Using Figure 1 in the paper, briefly describe the different
sources of ATP production at 50% versus 90% AND explain whether you
believe this depiction of ATP production applies to a Type IIX
myofiber in a human....
1. Which of the following are the sites within the human body where carbon dioxide and oxygen are exchanged? A. Alveoli B. Arteries C. Synapses D. Venules 2. Which of the following describes the most important reason for repeating an experimental investigation? A. To verify the validity of the original findings B. To expand upon the original investigation C. To manipulate the independent variable D. To attempt to disprove the hypothesis 3. Lithium has an atomic number of 3 and...
