a population of yeast grows in a test tube under ideal conditions until it runs out of space in the test tube . which kind of curve would accurately show the changes in this population

Expert Solution

The plot of the yeast population has some features that represent the conditions of the yeast cells at different times. Initially, the population does not change (lag phase). During this time, the cells assimilate nutrients and increase in size. Although the population remains unchanged because of change in size, both cell mass and optical density show some increase.

Following is the main part,

After that, the cell number starts increasing, ?rst slowly and then very rapidly. The cells in the population differ initially in metabolic rate and only some multiply, and then almost all the yeast cells multiply. This is the exponential phase (also called logarithmic phase). Growth rate at the exponential phase follows ?rst-order reaction kinetics. Following this, the growth rate slows down and ?nally the population enters the stationary phase. At this stage, because of nutrient shortage and accumulation of waste products, a few cells die and a few cells multiply, keeping the living population stable.

A.) 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 325 mmol glucose, 0.35 mmol ADP, 0.35 mmol Pi, 0.70 mmol ATP, 0.20 mmol NAD , and 0.20 mmol NADH. It is kept under anaerobic conditions. (answer in mmol) B.) Under the same conditions, what is the theoretical minimum amount...

Question 2 a (800 words) i) When yeast metabolises glucose under anaerobic conditions, it produces ethanol and CO2 as end products of glycolysis but under aerobic conditions, pyruvate is the end-product of the glycolytic pathway. What is the physiological rationale for producing ethanol and CO2 under anaerobic conditions? Fully explain your answer. ii) The standard free energy change for the oxidation of glucose to CO2 is shown below: Glucose + 6 O2 → 6 H2O + 6 CO2 ∆G’o =...

a rocket rises vertically from rest, with an acceleration of 3.2 m/s(s) until it runs out of fuel at an altitude of 845 m. After this point, its acceleration is that of gravity, downward. what is the velocity when the rocket runs out of fuel? how long does it take to reach that point? what is the maximum altitude and how long to reach it? what is the velocity when it strikes earth? how long is the rocket in the...

There are several models derived from first principles to describe gas diffusion under ideal conditions and all of them utilize very specific assumptions How do the values from both models calculated in part a, compare to the general gas-gas diffusion value of a generic gas molecule diffusing in a gas (the one value given in class)? How do the values from both models calculated in part a, compare to the Einstein-Boltzman general equation for diffusivity of an ideal gas molecule?

Conditional Ltd. operates under ideal conditions of uncertainty. It has just purchased a new machine, at a cost of $3,575.10, paid for entirely from the proceeds of a stock issue. The interest rate in the economy is 8%. The machine is expected to last for two years, after which time it will have zero salvage value. The new machine is an experimental model, and its suitability for use in Conditional’s operations is not completely known. Conditional assesses a 0.75 probability...

The drying time of a type of paint under specified test conditions is known to be normally distributed with mean value 75 min and standard deviation 9 min. Chemists have proposed a new additive designed to decrease average drying time. It is believed that drying times with this additive will remain normally distributed with σ = 9 min. Because of the expense associated with the additive, evidence should strongly suggest an improvement in average drying time before such a conclusion...
