Let's use 32 as the number of ATP produced per glucose's aerobic catabolism. (See the last sentence in the legend to Table 21.1 for the rationale for this number.)
Now, what would the ATP yield be, in aerobic catabolism, for the processing of dihydroxyacetone phosphate?

Experiment 1: Gravimetric Analysis with Calcium Chloride and
Potassium Carbonate
In this experiment, proper analytical experimental techniques will
be utilized to perform a double displacement reaction. A solution
will be prepared containing a known quantity of calcium chloride.
Then, the mass of calcium present will be determined through a
careful precipitation of calcium carbonate. You will also
investigate the hygroscopic nature of calcium chloride through a
comparison reaction.
Materials:
Scale250 mL Beaker50 mL BeakerStir rod4.0 g Calcium chloride,
CaCl25.0 g Potassium carbonate, K2CO3100 mL Graduated
CylinderPipetteRing for ring standRing stand
Funnel250 mL Erlenmeyer flask2 Filter papersWatch glassWeigh
boat*170 mL Distilled water*10 mL Isopropyl alcohol
*You must provide
Procedure
Place the weigh boat on the scale and determine its mass.
Add approximately 2.0 g of CaC to the weigh boat (the total mass
should be the mass of the weigh boat plus
2.0 g). Set this sample aside, and let it sit exposed to the air
(but otherwise undisturbed) for 24 hours. Complete Steps 3 - 20
while you wait..
Place a 250 mL beaker on the scale. Tare the scale and leave the
beaker on the scale..
Add approximately 2.0 g. of CaCl2 to the beaker. Record the exact
mass of the powder in Table 1.
Remove the beaker from the scale. Use a pipette to add 50 mL of
distilled water to the beaker and mix with the stir rod until all
CaCl2 has dissolved.
Note: This is an exothermic process, so the beaker may become
warm.
Place a 50 mL beaker on the scale. Tare the scale and leave the
beaker on the scale.
Add 2.5 g of K2CO3. Record the exact mass of the powder in Table
1.
Remove the beaker from the scale. Use a pipette to add 25 mL of
distilled water to the 50 mL beaker and mix with the
stir rod until all K2CO3 has dissolved.
Add all of the K2CO3 solution to the beaker containing the CaCl2
solution. It is important that all of the K2CO3 is added. To ensure
this, rinse the 50 mL beaker with up to 5 mL distilled water, and
pour the rinse in the CaCl2 solution.
Stir the solution for approximately four minutes. Then, allow it to
sit for 15 minutes. This gives sufficient time for all CaCO3 to
precipitate.
While the solution is sitting, set up the filtration apparatus.
Begin with an iron ring and a ring stand. Secure the ring to the
stand. Be sure to select the ring size that most appropriately
holds the funnel.
Place a funnel in the ring, and place a 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask
below the ring, such that the bottom of the funnel is also inside
the mouth of the flask.
Obtain a piece of filter paper. Use the scale to weigh the filter
paper and record the mass in Table 1.
Obtain a watch glass. Use the scale to weigh the watch glass and
record the mass in Table 1.
Fold the filter paper in half and in half again, so that it
resembles a triangle with one arced side.
Pull apart one fold of the filter paper so that three sides of the
filter paper remain together, with one side making up the other
half of the funnel shape.
Place the paper into the funnel and seat with a small amount of
distilled water (this will prevent the filter paper from rising
up).
Filter the solution from the beaker (that you created in Step 9)
slowly. Additional distilled water may also be used to transfer any
remaining solid into the filtration apparatus.
After all the solution has been filtered, use the pipette to rinse
the filter paper with approximately 5 mL of isopropyl alcohol to
aid the drying process. Allow the isopropyl alcohol to completely
drip through the filter before removing filter paper from the
funnel.
Carefully remove the filter paper, unfold and place it
precipitate-side up onto the pre-weighed watch glass. Be sure not
to lose any product during this transfer.
Repeat Steps 3 - 20 for the CaCl2 that was allowed to sit exposed
to air for 24 hours.
Allow the products from both trials to dry, undisturbed, for at
least 24 hours and determine the mass of the product recovered by
re-weighing the system and subtracting the weight of the filter
paper and watch glass. Record your data in Table 1.

Crime scene investigators have determined that an acrylic spray paint (polymethylmethacrylate, PMMA) was used to deface the Mona Lisa. Leonardo used linseed oil. We would like a solvent that interacts more strongly with acrylic than with linseed oil. Based on their chemical structures, we can approximate the SSCED parameters of linseed oil as n-hexadecane and acrylic paint as methylethylketone. Do you recommend CHCl_3, toluene, or acetone as the solvent? Explain.

2) True or False (If statement is false, correct it so that it is true) a) Polymers make up an exciting class of biomaterials. Polyethylene is a wonderful example of a simple ceramic that can be used in multiple applications by modifying its chemical structure. It tends to be bioactive when used by itself as an implant, but it becomes even more bioactive when 10 vol% Calcium Carbonate is added to it. Teflon can be used as a vascular graft material due to its low coefficient of friction. This is achieved because C atoms are replaced by F atoms in its structure. Collagen is the premiere polymer that is produced in our bodies. There are about 15 types of collagen and this polysaccharide is very important in bone matrix formation and tissues and organs. b) A vacancy is a point defect that occurs when an atom is missing from a lattice position. A perfect metal crystal would exhibit ductile behavior. Amorphous crystals have long range order which can be measured by x-ray diffraction. X-ray crystal structure determination and the iridescent colors in nacre, butterfly wings, and beetle exoskeletons are caused by similar phenomena that involves the transmission of visible light. Metals tend to be harder than polymers, ceramics tend to be stronger than polymers, and metals tend to be harder than ceramics. Diamond is a unique material that exhibits metallic bonding. One of its more unusual features is that although it has a very high electrical conductivity, it is a poor conductor of heat. c) H bonding is a very important bond type in biological materials such as water and DNA. H bonding is responsible for the anomalous freezing behavior of water in which its density increases when it transforms from liquid to solid. It also plays a role in explaining why Geckos are able to cling to and run across atomically smooth surfaces. d) The microstructure of a metal sample that has been cooled from a melt would contain very large crystal grains on the interior and very small crystal grains on the exterior surface. This would be caused by differences in the heating rate where the exterior cools more slowly than the interior. e) The (100) plane physically intersects the Y and Z axes and it is perpendicular to the (010) plane and parallel to the (020) plane.
