1. Princess eats 60g of oats for breakfast before her biology
exam. Each gram of oats contains three (3) molecules of
glucose.
a. Assuming Princes uses 180 molecules of adenosine
triphosphate in consuming breakfast and cleaning up after
breakfast, calculate the net ATP Princes has from breakfast for her
morning activities.
b. Describe how Princess generates the net energy from ATP by
substrate level phosphorylation for her biology exam.
c. State the total number of ATP generated from oxidative
phosphorylation. Describe how this number is generated.
2. You have been given a DNA fragment obtained from the genome
of Bacillus thuringiensis below:
3’CACTAACTGTCGCCAGGTCTGATAGACATATAACTGTTGGCGTACATAAGAAGGATCAAAAAA5’
Additional tools are provided below.
a. Provide the complementary strand for the parent strand
(above) that would be synthesized during replication of the linear
DNA fragment
b. List the enzymes involved in this DNA replication
c. Use the parent strand as a template to synthesize mRNA
strand. Describe how the mRNA strand is generated and regulated.
Indicate the direction of synthesis.
d. Synthesize a polypeptide from the mRNA.
TOOLS:
a. Primer: GUGAUU
b. Codon table
