Paclitaxel, known as Taxol, (CaHs,NO,4) has been known as an effective anti-cancer drug. It is effective in curing breast cancer and ovarian cancer including some other types of cancer. Taxol slows down cell division by biding to microtubules. Answer the following questions. A. Determine the molar mass of Taxol. B. Calculate the mass of 0.56 moles of Taxol in g unit. C. Calculate the mass of 3.011x 10" molecules of Taxol in g unit. D. How many C atoms are present in 0.500 g of Taxol?

You have come down with a nasty cold and would like to understand why the virus thatinfected you is making you feel so lousy. With a few facts given here, you can show that theinfected cells are now very full of virus particles, resulting in your current condition.A. Calculate the volume of a eukaryotic cell, in liters (L).B. Calculate the concentration, in Molarity, M, of a single virus within that cell. Note: this is theconcentration of any single molecule within a cell.C. Calculate the concentration, in Molarity, M, of 105 (100,000) virus particles —a typicalnumber produced by a viral infection — within that cell.D. If each virus particle is 100 nm in diameter, calculate the “excluded volume” — the spaceoccupied by those 100,000 virus particles. Compare this to the volume of the cell. In otherwords, what fraction of the cells total volume is currently being occupied by virus particles?E. Estimate the average distance between the 105 virus particles in the eukaryotic cell.

Chemistry 5 grams of cereal was crushed and dissolved in 25 mL water and placed in a dialysis bag. This sample was dialysed over a week in a beaker which contains 500 mL of water. 5 mL of the dialysate (an aliquote from the 500 mL) was separated to determine the glucose concentration. The glucose concentration was determined as 5 mM. Calculate the amount (% w/w) of glucose present in the cereal. Hint: The molecular weight of glucose is 180.

Sucrose is oxidized according to the following formula. C12H22O11 + O2 → CO2 + H2O You are investigating cellular metabolism in vitro. Under your experimental conditions, you plate 12 million cells in a dish using 10 ml of cell culture media. You grow the cells in a special instrument that can measure metabolic gases. After 24 hours, you instrument has detected that 28.8 mg of oxygen have been consumed and the same mass of carbon dioxide released. Your previous tests have shown that these cells consume 75 μg/106 cells-h. (a) Determine the limiting reagent, (b) percent excess of the other reagent, percent conversion for both reactants, and (c)extent of reaction (ξ). (d) Your initial concentration of sucrose in your cell culture media is 13.0mM. Your instrumentation can only resolve sucrose concentration at 0.1 mM increments. Can you detect the change in sucrose concentration with your instrumentation?

Let me tell you about their task: The students were provided with 5 drinks (sports/soft drinks) and they were asked to determine the glucose concentration in these drinks in the units of g/100mL. (Why these units? Well, once the students have the concentrations in g/100mL they will be able to compare their values with the nutritional values given on the drink bottles’ labels). The samples of the five drinks were all diluted 1/100 (i.e. by a factor of 100). This was an essential step in the method because, without it, the machine used to analyse the glucose concentration (spectrophotometer) would have given an error as the concentration would have been too high for accurate detection. What this means for the students is that the dilution factor will have to be taken into consideration in their calculations (remember the aim is to calculate the concentration in the original drink and not in the diluted drink). The students decided to save time and form five groups where each group was…
