Oleate is a C fatty acid with one double bond between the and carbons. The ? oxidation of a saturated fatty acid with an equivalent number of carbons would yield ATP: cycles of ? oxidation = ATP; acetyl-CoA yield ATP via the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation; and ATP are consumed in activating the fatty acid. During ? oxidation of oleate, the presence of the double bond allows the FADH2-generating acyl-CoA dehydrogenase step to be skipped, at a cost of ATP equivalents. Therefore, the ATP yield from oleate is .

Imagine that the donut is a sexually reproducing animal and that a single enzyme forms the hole. All donuts observed in the past have had holes. Suppose a mutation occurs in one gene of the donut such that it now codes for an inactive protein instead of the hole-forming enzyme. Which of the following predictions would be most likely in descendants of this mutant donut? For each prediction, explain whether or not it would be a likely prediction.
a. All members of the next generation will have holes
b. Heterozygous donuts will not have holes
c. If the cell in which the mutation occurs undergoes mitosis, subsequent generations of donuts will all have holes
d. The next generation will all be holeless
e.Past generations of donuts have all had holes

Assume COD entering an anaerobic digester can be modeled as 2C3H5O3- = C3H5O2- + C2H3O2- + CO2 + H2 (Balanced reaction
Next, assume that methane in the reactor results from two pathways: aceticlastic methanogenesis and hydrogenotrophic methanogenesis. If we assume that all necessary carbon and hydrogen for methane production comes only from fermentation of lactate; how much methane (in mg/L) can be produced assuming 25,000mg/L COD entering the anaerobic digester, with all of it being fermented?
