Both D-glucose and maltose (a disaccharide composed of two glucose residues) can be used as carbon sources by Escherichia coli. However, D-glucose is taken up by an example of the sugar phosphotransferase system and maltose is taken up by an example of an ABC transporter system. What are the differences between these systems? What are their protein components? What is the source of energy for accumulation of the sugar against a concentration gradient? In which form does the sugar appear in the cell?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Both system has been explained in attached image below . Hope this will help.

here maltose as such appear in the cell with out addition of any group.

Glycogen phosphorylase and the sodium-potassium pump both have amino acid residues that can be phosphorylated. In the case of the sodium-potassium pump it is Asp369. In glycogen phosphorylase, it is Ser14 that gets phosphorylated. Compare and contrast the role of phosphorylation for both proteins with regards to how the proteins function.

There are two factories in a small town. Both of them emit carbon dioxide into the air. Factory 1 currently emits 120 tons per month, whereas factory 2 currently emits 160 tons per month. The technology of each factory is different, so their costs of reducing emissions are different as well. The tables below show the costs of reducing emissions in increments of 20 tons per month for each factory: Factory 1 Total cost of reducing emissions by 20 tons/month...
