Focus your discussion on ONE of the following topics:

  1. Describe at least 2 benefits and 2 drawbacks there might be for animal cells (including humans) to make their own food through photosynthesis.
  2. Explain which cells, tissues, or organs should be modified to lead to successful photosynthesis in animals or humans. Discuss how these compare to a plant's leaves.
  3. Describe the process of photosynthesis to explain at least 1 requirement for photosynthesis that would need to be considered for chloroplasts to function in an animal or a human.

Mr Ojomu is a 42 year male of African origin. He has a demanding desk-based job and frequently has to work long hours. He rarely eats regular meals and so has developed a habit of snacking on foods with high salt, fat and sugar contents. He routinely drinks at least 4 cups of coffee a day and at least one bottle of coca cola. Recently he has noticed that he has put on weight and easily gets out of breath when walking, he feels tired on waking, often suffers muscular aches and pains and experiences bouts of anxiety over his workload.


Using four of the systems from the list below, explain what steps Mr Ojomu should take to improve his overall physical and mental health. Include in your answer how the body systems you have selected work together to normalise body functions. 500 words


Human body systems
• The endocrine system
• The nervous system
• The cardio-vascular system
• The respiratory system
• The urinary system
• The lymphatic and immune system

  1. The bacterium Micrococcus luteus lives on mammalian skin where it feeds on amino acids and lactic acid found in sweat. Answer the following questions about carbohydrate metabolism[1] in M. luteus.

  1. M. luteus lacks any hexokinase orthologs (e.g. any enzyme catalyzing the reaction glucose + ATP ⇌ glucose-6-phosphate + ADP) as well as any phosphohexose isomerase homologs (e.g. any enzyme catalyzing the reaction glucose-6-phosphate ⇌ fructose-6-phosphate), but they express all other enzymes involved in glycolysis. Are M. luteus bacteria capable of catabolizing glucose via glycolysis? (1 point)

  1. M. luteus expresses glycogen phosphorylase as well as phosphoglucomutase; i.e. these bacteria can convert glycogen to glucose-6-phosphate. Assuming M. luteus bacteria can transport glycogen into their cytoplasm, can M. luteus catabolize glycogen (e.g. via glycolysis) and, if so, how many ATP molecules can M. luteus produce (via glycolysis) for each 6 carbons of glycogen? (3 points)

  1. Given your answer to the previous question, how many ATP molecules can an M. luteus bacterium produce (via glycolysis) from one 30,000 carbon molecule of glycogen? (2 points)

Which pathway enables M. luteus to produce sugars (e.g. for oligosaccharide biosynthesis) from glucogenic amino acids: glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, the Calvin cycle or the pentose phosphate reactions?

in response to comment: ok..so take time then
