Q1. Recall Pasteur’s experiment on spontaneous generation. Originally he used sealed and unsealed flasks instead of sealed and swan-necked flasks. Critics claimed that the experiment was inconclusive. Which of the criticisms would be addressed by using a swan-necked flask instead of the unsealed flask? Q2. Develop a hypothesis to consider […]

In yeast, ethanol is produced from glucose under anaerobic conditions. What is the maximum amount of ethanol (in millimoles) that could theoretically be produced under the following conditions? A cell-free yeast extract is placed in a solution that contains 3.50 × 102 mmol glucose, 0.30 mmol ADP, 0.30 mmol Pi, […]

A genetic mutation occurs that alters the specificity of the Golgi enzyme that phosphorylates mannose residues in theoligosaccharides of glycoproteins. The effect of the mutation issuch that the enzyme now indiscriminately and randomlyphosphorylates mannose residues on all glycoproteins passingthrough the Golgi complex. A. What is the normal role of this […]
