Exercise 5-9 Phenylalanine deaminase Phenylalanine deaminase positive bacteria can remove the amine functional group from the amino acid and the amine group is released as ammonia waste. Phenylpyruvic acid is also produced by this reaction. What can phenylalanine deaminase positive bacteria do with phenylpyruvic acid?

Problems 14 and 15: some of the exponents are unclear. Here they are: 14. Calculate vi and the degree of inhibition caused by a competitive inhibitor under the following conditions:(a) [S]=2x10-3 Mand[I]=2x10-3 M(b) [S]=4x10-4 Mand[I]=2x10-3 M (c) [S]=7.5x10-3 Mand[I]=10-5 MAssume that Km = 2 x 10-3 M, Ki = 1.5 x 10-4 M and Vmax = 270 nmoles x liter-1 x min-1.The degree of inhibition is the percent of the uninhibited velocity reached in the presence of the inhibitor. 15. (a) What concentration of competitive inhibitor is required to yield 75% inhibition at a substrate concentration of 1.5 x 10-3 M if Km =2.9x10-4 M and Ki =2x10-5 M?

I am needing help with problems 1 and 3, please. Thank you. 1) Yeast uses anaerobic respiration. If yeast utilized aerobic respiration, would the balloons have inflated faster or slower? Why? 2) Glycolysis in an anaerobic environment produces a net of 2 ATP and Pyruvate. Why does Yeast bother to ferment Pyruvate to Ethanol? Also, what do you think would happen if yeast DID NOT ferment pyruvate to ethanol? 3) Glycolysis in an aerobic environment leads to the production of many more ATP biomolecules. Briefly describe the additional steps necessary to harvest more energy from glucose breakdown. Include the step where Oxygen is used, since it is the key factor that determines the amount of ATP produced.
Problem 2. When alcohol is consumed in excessive quantities, the resulting levels of NADH cause metabolic abnormalities, and one of which is high levels of fatty acid synthesis. Fatty acid synthesis, also a cytoplasmic process, uses acetyl-CoA as a substrate and NADPH as a reducing agent. Based on the above, we can see how acetate is converted to acetyl-CoA in the mitochondria, but fatty acid synthesis takes place in the cytosol. Complete the analysis by accounting for high acetyl-CoA concentration in the cytosol. Study the summary of reactions of citrate metabolism. E. How would increasing the rate of the reaction catalyzed by malate dehydrogenase decrease the concentration of oxaloacetic acid (OAA) in the cytosol? F. How would decreasing the concentration of OAA increase the concentration of acetyl-CoA in the cytosol by Le Chatelier’s principle?
