Evaluating Nutritional Benefits of Foods In a departure from his usual and highly popular westerns, author Louis L'Amour wrote a novel in 1987, Last of the Breed (Bantam Press), in which a military pilot of Native American ancestry is shot down over the former Soviet Union and is formed to use the survival skills of his ancestral culture to escape his enemies On the rare occasions when he is able to trap and kill an animal for food, he selectively eats the fat, not the meal. Based on your reading of this chapter, what is his reasoning for doing so?arrow_forwardAnswers to all problems are at the end of this book.

Assessing the Effect of Temperature on Equilibrium You are studying the various components of the venom of a poisonous lizard. One of the venom components is a protein that appears to be temperature sensitive. When heated, it denatures and is no longer toxic. The process can be described by the following simple equation: There is only enough protein from this venom to carry out two equilibrium measurements. At 298 K, you find that 98% of the protein is in its to.\ic form. However, when you raise the temperature to 320 �.. you find that only 10% of the protein is in its toxic form. Calculate the equilibrium constants for the T to N conversion at these two temperatures. Use the data to determine the H,S, and G for this process.arrow_forwardAnswers to all problems are at the end of this book.

Solving the Sequence of an Oligopeptide From Sequence Analysis Data Analysis of the blood of a catatonic football fan revealed large concentrations of a. psychologic octapeptide. Amino acid analysis of this oclapeplide gave the following results: 2 Ala lArg 1 Asp 1 Mel 2 Tyr I Val 1NH/ The following facts were observed: Partial acid hydrolysis of the octapeptide yielded a dipeptide of the structure Chymolrypsin treatment of the octapeplide yielded two tetrapeptides, each containing an alanine residue. Trypsin treatment of one of the tetrapeptides yielded two dipeptides. Cyanogen bromide treatment of another sample of the same tetrapeplide yielded a tripeplideand free Tyr. N-lerminal analysis of the other tetrapeptide gave Asn. What is the amino acid sequence of this oclapeplide?arrow_forward

The Biosynthetic Capacity of Cells The nutritional requirements of Escherichia coli cells are far simpler than those of humans, yet the macromolecules found in bacteria are about as complex as those of animals. Because bacteria can make all their essential biomolecules while subsisting on a simpler diet, do you think bacteria may have more biosynthetic capacity and hence more metabolic complexity than animals? Organize your thoughts on this question, pro and con, into a rational argument. (Section 1.5)arrow_forward
