suppose the cytosolic pH of Plasmodium is 7.1. Suppose PfCRT is a secondary active symporter using protons to drive VF-6-2 efflux from the digestive vacuole, DV. Suppose the membrane potential across the DV membrane is 50mV, inside positive. VF-6-2 has a 3nM concentration inside the DV and a 56nM concentration in the cytosol. What pH must the P-type ATPase establish inside of a digestive vacuole in order to allow PfCRT to spontaneously transport 1 VF-6-2 out of the DV with 1 H+ at 37°C??

Based on your residing of this chapter, what would you expect to be the most immediate effect oil glycolysis, if the steady-state concentration of gJucose-6-P were 8.3 mM instead of 0.083 mM?
Table 9.2 shows that DGo’ for the aldolase reaction is large, and positive, yet the reaction proceeds in the forward direction. Using the metabolite concentrations in table 9.3, calculate the actual DG in the cell for the reaction to show that it is consistent with the value reported in table 9.2. Explain in words the strategy the cell uses to keep glycolysis moving in the forward direction (1-2 sentences).
A newly identified bacterium is unable to synthesize ubiquinone. A mobile electron carrier called CXC3 is used as a substitute. From the information provided in the table, calculate the delta G knot prime and the Keq value at 298 K for the redox reaction that occurs in this bacterium’s electron transport chain. Explain the impact that using CXC 3 instead of ubiquinol will have on ATP production in the cell. How might this cell adapt to this situation?
Why does growth of ETPUM in Medium # require oxygen? ' ink about this in terms of howETPUM can generate a net gain in ATP by processing polyurethane. Remember that the degradationof polyurethane by polyurethanase does not expend ATP. In order to answer this question, address eachof the following questions in your answer:a. Is there a net gain or loss of ATP during the transport of the citrate?b. Consider the ATPs that can be generated via substrate-level phosphorylation. Will glycolysis beuseful for generating any ATPs during growth on polyurethane? How many ATPs can be generatedvia TCA? Is this enough to support growth (is there a net positive in the ATP tally)?c. Now consider how else ETPUM can generate ATPs (if not by substrate- level phosphorylation). Canthis process generate a net positive in the ATP tally?d. Now explain the importance of oxygen as relates to the ATP tally.

Although physiologically distinct, aerobic chemolithotrophsand chemoorganotrophs share a number of features withrespect to the production of ATP. Discuss these commonfeatures along with reasons why the growth yield (gramsof cells per mole of substrate consumed) of achemoorganotroph respiring glucose is so much higherthan for a chemolithotroph respiring sulfur
Anaerobic production of ethanol by Saccharomyces cerevisiae is associated with yeast growth. The steady-state growth kinetics of yeast follows Monod. It is intended to produce 10 kg/h of ethanol in an ideal CSRT-type fermenter, fed by a solution of 50 g/L of glucose. Size the fermenter for this purpose (calculate its working volume), setting the biomass concentration at the exit of the fermenter at 6.9 g/L.
