Cite a reason for the evolution of allosteric regulators in cells. They allow the cell to conserve energy by shutting down or activating reaction pathways only as needed. O They allow the cell to use many fewer enzymes to carry out a wide range of reactions. They allow the cell to carry out reactions at relatively low temperatures and mild pH conditions. O They allow the cell to have a means for transferring information as it undergoes cell division to produce a new generation of cells.

Suppose you discovered a mutant yeast whose glycolytic pathwaywas shorter because of the presence of a new enzyme catalyzing the reactionWould shortening the glycolytic pathway in this way benefit the cell? Explain.
A segment of cell's collection of biochemical pathways is shown below. P is a product of one series of these reactions. It is also a regulatory molecule. Look at the pathway below and indicate the position(s) at which M is most likely to act as a feedback inhibitor when its concentration gets too high. 1 2 3 4 5 A----->B -----> C----->E----->J------>M----->P----->X----->Z
The cardiovascular, respiratory, and gastrointestinal systems all worktogether to ensure that cells of the human body are able to carry out vitalreactions including aerobic respiration and protein synthesis. Write a short account to explain how each of these three systems ensure that cells receive the required raw ingredients needed for such cellular reactions, and how two of the systems contribute to the removal of thewaste products created. You must focus on how these three systems are adapted and inter-related to ensure that the molecules required for aerobic respiration and protein synthesis are made accessible to body cells where these cellular reactions take place. In addition, you should consider how two of these systems work together to remove waste products that are formed during cellular reactions from cells to be excreted. All three systems must be considered, and you should include specificdetail such as the role of named enzymes in the gastrointestinal tract, and named…
Cellular respiration is the primary process by which cells generate ATP.a. What is the balanced chemical reaction for cellular respiration? b. Describe how each of the reactants are utilized in this reaction, what product they are used to produce, and the steps in which they are used to form the products c. Why is the energy yield in this reaction different for eukaryotes and prokaryotes? Be specific. d. If a cell is deprived of oxygen, how does it modify the process of cellular respiration? Give the specific term for this alternate reaction.
Look at the cellular respiration reaction. What reactants and/or catalysts (enzymes) does the yeast supply? What does the juice supply? What is the product of respiration that we need? In other words, why do organisms need cellular respiration? Propose an alternative experiment to test rates of cellular respiration besides measuring acid production (hint: look at the reaction equation). Do some reading and discuss some applications of fermentation in biotechnology, food production, or medicine.
You receive kinetic data for a transferase reaction where AX and B are substrates, while A and BX are products. You are asked to establish the reaction mechanism. Which graph will you draw first? A,B,C or D A. 1/Vo against [AXo] at different concentrations of [BXo] B. 1/[AXo] against 1/[Bo] at different concentrations of [BXo] C. 1/Vo against 1/[AXo] at different concentrations of [Bo] / D. 1/Vo against 1/[AXo] at different concentrations of [1/BXo]
A “pulse-chase” experiment using 14C-labeled carbon sources is carried out on a yeast extract maintained under strictly anaerobic conditions to produce ethanol. The experiment consists of incubating a small amount of14C-labeled substrate (the pulse) with the yeast extract just long enough for each intermediate in the fermentation pathway to become labeled. The label is then “chased” through the pathway by the addition of excess unlabeled glucose. The chase effectively prevents any further entry of labeled glucose into the pathway.(a) If [1-14C]glucose (glucose labeled at C-1 with 14C) is used as a substrate, what is the location of 14C in the product ethanol? Explain.(b) Where would 14C have to be located in the starting glucose to ensure that all the 14C activity is liberated as 14CO2 during fermentation to ethanol? Explain.
State how the below perturbations will affect (or not) an autocell’s ability to survive. Provide your reasoning in each case. (a) Depletion of a substrate that is part of the autocatalytic cycle (b) Formation of a modified product (due to the uptake of a modified substrate) that functions as a receptor
. Select the principle related to the pumping of protons from mitochondrion matrix into mitochondrion intermembrane space during cellular respiration. * A. Oxidation of protein complexes release energy and this energy is used to pump protons. B. The process is simultaneously with osmosis of water through mitochondrion membrane. C. Reduction of integral protein complexes causing pumping of protons. D. NADH and FADH2 use exergonic reaction and release energy which helps pumping of protons.
Suppose a human cell is about to undergo cell division and needs to replicate its nucleic acid. Based on this statement a. Does the cell require more ribose 5-phosphate or more NADPH? Give reason. b. Will the cell use oxidative or non-oxidative phase of pentose phosphate pathway. Give reason. c. Explain in detail the mechanism of the pathway through which the cell fulfills its need.
Which of the following about adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is FALSE? A) There are two phosphoanhydride bonds with similar energies B) ATP can be used as a substrate to make cyclic AMP (cAMP) after a cell has been stimulated with certain specific hormones C) The γ-phosphate can be transferred (e.g. to chemical group on a protein enzyme) such as the Na+-K+ pump, which is part of a coupling mechanism that allows otherwise unfavourable reactions to proceed No possible answer provided E) The large, negative, free-energy change upon hydrolysis of “high-energy” compounds like ATP is partly due to the creation of resonance stabilized products
