Textbook Question
Chapter 15, Problem 95TDI
A friend in your class is reading about cells that store
energy in the form of tiny lipid droplets. He says, “It says
here that the membranes around the droplets are just a
single phospholipid layer, instead of a double layer like
everywhere else. That doesn’t make sense, does it?” What is
your reply?

How many actin monomers within an actin filament would a myosin molecule need to ratchet in order to contract a cell by approximately 1 μm? How fast could a non-muscle cell make this contraction compared to a muscle cell if the relative rates of myosin walks on F-actin are 4.5 μm/sec and 0.04 μm/sec for myosin II and I respectively?

- Small birds like that in (Figure 1) can migrate over long distances without feeding, storing energy mostly as fat rather than carbohydrate. Fat is a good form of energy storage because it provides the most energy per unit mass: 1.00 grams of fat provides about 9.40 (food) Calories, compared to 4.20 (food) Calories per 1.00 grams of carbohydrate. Remember that Calories associated with food, which are always capitalized, are not exactly the same as calories used in physics or chemistry, even though they have the same name. More specifically, one food Calorie is equal to 1000 calories of mechanical work or 4184 joules. Therefore, in this problem use the conversion factor 1 Cal = 4184 J. Figure 1 of 1 Part A Consider a bird that flies at an average speed of 10.7 m/s and releases energy from its body fat reserves at an average rate of 3.70 W (this rate represents the power consumption of the bird).
