Researchers studied the relationship between glucose concentration, oxygen level, and ATP production in one type of mammalian cell. Cells were isolated and cultured in growth medium containing either 1.5mM glucose or 25 mM glucose and at oxygen levels that varied from 0% to 21%. The researchers determined the concentration of ATP per cell under the different conditions. The ATP concentrations are shown as relative to the maximum ATP concentration obtained when cells were cultured in the presence of 25 mMglucose and 21% oxygen, standard culture conditions. The data are shown in Table 1.
Table 1. Relative concentration of ATP per cell under different growth conditions
| Concentration of Glucose in Growth Medium | Percent of Oxygen | Relative Concentration of ATP per Cell |
| 1.5mM | 0 | 0.3 |
| 1.5 mM | 5 | 0.65 |
| 1.5 mM | 10 | 0.75 |
| 1.5 mM | 21 | 0.85 |
| 25 mM | 0 | 0.4 |
| 25 mM | 5 | 0.7 |
| 25 mM | 10 | 0.8 |
| 25 mM | 21 | 1.0 |
(a) Describe the role of oxygen in cellular respiration.
Question 2
(b) Using the template, construct an appropriately labeled graph to represent the data in Table 1.
Question 3
(c) Describe the relationship between the concentration of glucose in the culture medium and the ATP concentration in the cells.
Question 4
(d) In a further experiment, the researchers add a compound to the cell growth medium that both binds and releases protons (H+) and also passes through lipid membranes. Predict the effect of this added compound on ATP production by the cells. Justify your prediction.

1. Listed below are altitudes (thousands of feet) and outside air temperatures (°F) recorded during a flight. Find the (a) explained variation, (b) unexplained variation, and (c) indicated prediction interval. There is sufficient evidence to support a claim of a linear correlation, so it is reasonable to use the regression equation when making predictions. For the prediction interval, use a 95% confidence level with the altitude of 6327 ft (or 6.327 thousand feet).

1) Interest rates and bond ratings (LO16-2) A previously issued A2, 15-year industrial bond provides a return three-fourths higher than the prime interest rate of 11 percent. Previously issued A2 public utility bonds provide a yield of three-fourths of a percentage point higher than previously issued A2 industrial bonds of equal quality. Finally, new issues of A2 public utility bonds pay three-fourths of a percentage point more than previously issued A2 public utility bonds.What should be the interest rate on a newly issued A2 public utility bond?

2) Fourteen years ago, the U.S. Aluminum Corporation borrowed $6.5 million. Since then, cumulative inflation has been 98 percent (a compound rate of approximately 65 percent per year). a. When the firm repays the original $6.5 million loan this year, what will be the effective purchasing power of the $6.5 million? (Hint: Divide the loan amount by one plus cumulative inflation.) b. To maintain the original $6.5 million purchasing power, how much should the lender be repaid? (Hint: Multiply the loan amount by one plus cumulative inflation.) c. If the lender knows he will receive $6.5 million in payment after 14 years, how might he be compensated for the loss in purchasing power? A descriptive answer is acceptable. |
3)Tobacco Company of America is a very stable billion-dollar company with sales growth of about 5 percent per year in good or bad economic conditions. Because of this stability (a correlation coefficient with the economy of +.3 and a standard deviation of sales of about 5 percent from the mean), Mr. Weed, the vice-president of finance, thinks the company could absorb some small risky company that could add quite a bit of return without increasing the company’s risk very much. He is trying to decide which of the two companies he will buy. Tobacco Company of America’s cost of capital is 10 percent.

Gary Theater is in the Hoosier Mall. A cashier's booth is located near the entrance to the theater. Two cashiers are employed. One works from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m., the other from 5:00 to 9:00 p.m. Each cashier is bonded. The cashiers receive cash from customers and operate a machine that ejects serially numbered tickets. The rolls of tickets are inserted and locked into the machine by the theater manager at the beginning of each cashier's shift. After purchasing a ticket, the customer takes the ticket to a doorperson stationed at the entrance of the theater lobby some 60 feet from the cashier's booth. The doorperson tears the ticket in half, admits the customer, and returns the ticket stub to the customer. The other half of the ticket is dropped into a locked box by the doorperson. At the end of each cashier's shift, the theater manager removes the ticket rolls from the machine and makes a cash count. The cash count sheet is initialed by the cashier. At the end of the day, the manager deposits the receipts in total in a bank night deposit vault located in the mall. In addition, the manager sends copies of the deposit slip and the initialed cash count sheets to the theater company treasurer for verification and to the company's accounting department. Receipts from the first shift are stored in a safe located in the manager's office. (a)Identify the internal control principles and their application to the cash receipts transactions of Gary Theater. (b)If the doorperson and cashier decided to collaborate to misappropriate cash, what actions might they take?
