Catalase testing is one of several tests used to detect presence of an electron transport chain in a cell. Catalase is made by a cell to detoxify H2O2. How does presence of H2O2 relate to the presence of an electron transport chain?

QUESTION 14

  1. 445 moles of NADH are produced by the Citric Acid Cycle (CAC). How many moles of glucose needed to be broken down during glycolysis in order to produce enough pyruvate for the CAC to produce this many moles of NADH?

    Note: Brock, a Biology of Microorganisms considers the synthesis of Acetyl-CoA to be part of the Citric Acid Cycle. This is different than what you may have learned in BIOL-151 where the Morris Book considers Acetyl Co-A Synthesis a seperate step. See page 89 of Brock for full details.

    Round your answer to one decimal place.

QUESTION 15

  1. If 82 moles of ATP are produced by glycolysis, how many moles of glucose were broken down?

    For every molecule of glucose broken down, 2 molecules of ATP are generated.

QUESTION 16

  1. NADH and FADH are produced by the Citric Acid Cycle (CAC) and these electron shuttles go on to the Electron Transport Chain (ETC). A mole of NADH will produce 3 moles of ATP from the ETC. A mole of FADH2 will produce 2 moles of ATP from the electron transport chain. A single mole of pyruvate will produce 4 moles of NADH and 1 mole of FADH2 from the CAC. Therefore, every  14 moles of ATP came from 1 mole of pyruvate.

    Given:

    The ETC produced 78 moles of ATP from the products of the CAC.

    Find:

    How many moles of pyruvate entered the CAC?

    Note: Brock, a Biology of Microorganisms considers the synthesis of Acetyl CoA from Pyruvate to be part of the Citric Acid Cycle. This is different than what you may have learned in BIOL-151 where the Morris Book considers Acetyl Co-A Synthesis a separate step. See page 89 of Brock for full details.

    Round your answer to one decimal place.

AA DD individuals were crossed to aa dd individuals. The F1 generation was then testcrossed to aa dd individuals. The resulting individuals had the following genotypes: 903 individuals with the genotype Aa Dd, 897 individuals with the genotype aa dd, 98 individuals with the genotype Aa dd, 102 individuals with the genotype aa Dd.

1. Are the genes (A and D) on the same chromosome or different chromosomes? (Calculate the expected number of progeny if they were on different chromosomes and compare.)

A. Same chromosomes

B. Different chromosomes

C. Can't be determined

2. If A and D are on the same chromosome, how far apart are they in Map Units. (Answer in a number - without units, if they are not on the same chromosome, answer 0).
