Determine the number of net ATPs produced in the following
situations. Assume that each NADH and FADH2 enter the STE. Be
careful, sometimes not
is ATP what you want to determine
Show your calculations and strategies to get the corresponding
number.
_______________1. Number of NADH if seven acetyl Co-A molecules
enter Krebs.
_______________2. Two molecules of glucose-phosphate enter into
glycolysis to produce
pyruvate.
_______________3. Three molecules of glucose in a cell treated with
cyanide.
_______________4. Seven molecules of glucose in a yeast under
aerobic conditions.
_______________5. Two glucose molecules where hexokinase has been
mutated and is not
functional.

What can cause a phenol red indicator of carbohydrate fermentation to give a false positive with gas?
I heavily incubated my organism in the test tube and it is producing a huge gas bubble in the Durham tube and a clear yellow (acid) color. I incubated my tube at my organism's optimism growth conditions (oxygen and temperature wise) for 48 hrs exactly.. i was supposed to get a red no gas result ( -) what might have gone wrong?

17) Provide at least three ways the Central Dogma (aka “gene expression”) is different in eukaryotes versus prokaryotes and items that are conserved in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes.
18) Describe, in detail, the two ways environmental signals promote a cellular response. Include how a cell receives a signal, how it is subsequently processed, and what cellular process is targeted in order to generate the “cellular response”) Draw and/or identify the status of the lac operon in a given set of environmental conditions and/or cell mutations.
how information from DNA results in the synthesis of a protein. Explain how information in the environment ultimately results in changes to gene expression.

4) Diploblast marine animals with radial symmetry, mouth surrounded by tentacles covered with stinging cells (cnidocytes) with microscopic harpoons that paralyze prey belong to the phylum ____________
5) This very old animal phylum groups filter-feeding organisms whose bodies are covered with pores. They exhibit cell level of organization, and asymmetrical bodies:
6) The first group of triploblast animals with cephalization and a bilateral body symmetry belongs to the phylum __________________ .
7) Animals in the phylum ____________________ were the first to have a complete gut tube with two openings, mouth and anus. There are free-living and very abundant forms, and also parasitic forms that cause diseases to man and other vertebrates.
8) All worms with segmented body belong to the phylum ____________________.

Question 10 (5 pts.): Why do you think cholera would choose to colonize the intestines of its host, as opposed to other parts of the body? (Try to think about what the bacteria might gain from living in the intestines.)
Question 11 (5 pts.): Why do you think it is important for V. cholerae to attach themselves firmly to the epithelial cells of the intestines, as shown in the picture above?
Question 12 (5 pts.): Suggest a reason why V. cholerae would benefit by causing their hosts to have excessive, watery diarrhea? How could this help the bacteria in their cycle of infection?

In familial retinoblastoma, are mutations in the normal RB1 gene always responsible for the loss of heterozygosity?
In a family with retinoblastoma, would the mechanism of loss of heterozygosity in tumors in different members of the family be expected to be same or different?
Cite some evidence supporting the conclusion that tumor cells are clonal.
A gene for hereditary prostate cancer has been mapped to chromosomal location 1q25; it shows autosomal dominant inheritance. How would you go about identifying the mutant gene?
