How does a deficiency of thiamine account for
What is the purpose of ferementation after glycolysis? and.. Why use starved starved yeast rather than sugar fed yeasts for fermentation?
In solution, 80% of the fructose 6-phosphate is in the beta-anomeric form and 20% is in the alpha-anomeric form... Please see attached for full question. It should be 2,5 -Anhydro...(in beta configuration).
Free Energy changes in glycolysis. a) Which three reactions are irreversible? What does this mean? b) The other seven reactions are near equilibrium. Explain how this diagram reflects this. Please see attached for the full question (ignore question 7.)
The signaling mechanisms used by a steroid-hormone receptor and by an ion channel linked receptor have very few components. Can either mechanism lead to an amplification of the initial signal? If so, how? Ideas are included.
Why do signalling responses that require changes in proteins already present in the cell occur in milliseconds to seconds, whereas responses that involve changes in gene expression usually take hours? Ideas are shown.

A bacterium is in the process of acclimating to a lower temperature environment. How would you expect the fatty acid complement in the bacterial membrane to change in response to the lower temperature? Why?
1. Does trans-oleic acid have a higher or lower melting point than cis-oleic acid? Why? Explain in detail. 2. Draw the structure of 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-3-phospatidylserine. 3. Why can't triglycerols (fats) be significant components of membranes? 4. When bacteria growing at 20 degree celsius are warmed to 30 degree cels
What is deltaE for the oxidation of ubiquinol by cytochrome c when the ratio of [QH2]/[Q] is 10 and the ratio of [cyt c3+]/[cyt c2+] is 5? cytochrome c (Fe3+) + e- <---------> cytochrome c (Fe2+) E'o = 0.254V Ubiquinone + 2H+ + 2e- <-----------> ubiquinol + H2 E'o = 0.045V
Life on Earth - Biological Concepts from the Non-Science Major Perspective Quiz: (1 point each) 1. Describe the difference between and exergonic and endergonic reaction? 2. Why do environmentalists claim that an increase in forests, i.e. rainforests, will slow down the effects of global warming? 3. Explain how fats a
Estimate the amount of energy a mammal can obtain from the oxidation of palmitate, in the liver under conditions of ketosis, relative to the amount obtainable under conditions of a balanced diet with adequate consumption of glucogenic fuels.
In order to determine the major pathway of glycine degradation, you devise an experiment in which mice are fed 13C(alpha)-labeled glycine, and the livers are then isolated and radioactive intermediates detected by GC-MS. Interestingly, you find that the amino acid serine contains the most radioactivity, and that both the Calpha
Discuss the feasibility of using methylation analysis to distinguish between each of the following pairs of carbohydrates: A) Maltose and Trehalose B) Maltose and Amylose C) Amylose and Cellulose
Question: How many different possible disaccharides can be formed between the pyranose forms od D-galactose and D-glucose? How many are non-reducing? I am really stuck on this question. I don't really understand these concepts at all.
Question: It is possible to distinguish between an irreversible inhibitor and a classical mixed type reversible inhibitor by measuring Vmax of the enzymatic reaction as a function of [E]t in the absence and presence of the inhibitor. What does the slope represent in each case? What does the X-axis intercept represent in
A major difficulty in investigating the properties of pancreatic serine proteases is that these enzymes, being proteins, are self digesting. The problem is less severe for solutions of chymotrypsinthan than for solutions of elastase or trypsin. Suggest an explantion for this observation? (Do not consider the zymogen activ
Explains why pro-insulin can be refolded but not insulin (following Anifansen's experiments with ribonuclease)
The table below indicates approximate values for these at 25C. For reference, the delta H(ionization) for Tris is 47kJ/mole. Group deta H (ionization)(kJ/mole) Asp 3.9 Glu 0 Lys 48 Arg 48 His 28 N-term 40 C- term 0 How will the net charge of a typical protein change upon lowering the temperature from 37C to 4C, base
In one day the average person secretes about 2.5 litres of gastric juice into the stomach. The pH of the cells in the stomach lining that perform the secretion is about 7 (the same as for all cells) and the pH of the stomach is about 1. Thus, H+ ions must be moved against an H+ gradient. The free energy change for moving molecul
1. A deep space probe is traveling at a velocity of 18.8km/s. What is its velocity in miles/minutes? 2. Astronomers have measured a faint galaxy to be at a distance of 200 megaparsecs from earth? How far is this in miles? (1 Parsec = 3.26 Light-years, Mega = 1x10^6). 3. A perfume company wants to dispense 13.9 quarts of a
Hi, I need assistance setting up an equation for the following problem: A bird is flying around the world at a rate of 14.5 ft/sec. How many days will it take to complete its journey?(circumference of earth=25000 miles)
Hi, I need assistance setting up an equation for this problem: Problem: If a satellite orbits the earth at a velocity of 3.2x10 to the fourth power km/hr, this would be the same as how many ft/min?
