Please indicate the name of the important metabolic pathways and physiological groups involved.arrow_forwardIn one final experiment, you add all the necessary components and program the thermocycler to cycle under the following temperatures Denaturation 95 degrees, 30 seconds, Annealing 65 degrees, 30 seconds, Elongation 68 degrees 30 seconds You find out that the third time's the charm, but now you have many small incomplete fragments instead. What happened and how did you fix it?arrow_forwardFermentation is a means of food preservation.

- Using supporting calculations, determine the energy and cost (carbon) savingsassociated with the following biological nitrogen removal strategy: Partial nitrification (oxidation of all the influent ammonia to nitrite) and partialdenitrification (reduction of produced nitrite to nitrogen gas)arrow_forwardIn an experiment where you use different concentrations of avocado catalase to determine how that affects rate of the reaction with its substrate, hydrogen peroxide, why was the amount(concentration) of peroxide kept the same for all tubes? Why was the total volume of every tube 10cm?arrow_forwardName a high energy phosphate compound capable of substrate level phosphorylation?arrow_forward
- For an experiment where you use different concentrations of catalase to determine how that affects rate of the reaction with its substrate, hydrogen peroxide, what effect does enzyme concentration have on reaction activity? Would it be possible to have too much catalase in the tube? What would happen?arrow_forwardWhat is the metabolic advantage of a substrate cycle? What is its cost?arrow_forwardYou are attempting to determine KM by measuring the reaction velocity at different substrate concentrations, but you do not realize that the substrate tends to precipitate under the experimental conditions you have chosen. How would this affect your measurement of KM?arrow_forward
- Define the following terms: (1) bioenergetics, (2) ender- gonic reactions, and (3) exergonic reactions.arrow_forwardClassify each of the following molecules as (1) an oxidizing agent, (2) a reducing agent, or (3) neither an oxidizing agent nor a reducing agent. a. FAD b. ADP c. Coenzyme A d. NAD+arrow_forwardTo identify the molecule that accepts CO2, Calvin and Benson manipulated the carbon-fixation cycle by either cutting off CO2 or cutting off light from cultures of photosynthetic algae. They then measured the concentrations of various metabolites immediately following the manipulation. How would these experiments help identify the CO2 acceptor?  Select one: a. The CO2 acceptor concentration would decrease when the CO2 is cut off, but increase when the light is cut off. b. The CO2 acceptor concentration would increase when the CO2 is cut off, but decrease when the light is cut off. c. The CO2 acceptor concentration would decrease when either the CO2 or light are cut off. d. The CO2 acceptor concentration would increase when either the CO2 or light are cut off.arrow_forward
