Calculate the volume of both a prokaryotic and a eukaryotic cell. To appreciate the magnitude of the size difference between the two cell types, estimate how many bacterial cells would fit inside the liver cell. (Hint: Use the expression V = πr 2h for the volume of a cylinder and V = (4/3)π r 3 .arrow_forwardGram-negative bacteria are surrounded by two membrane bilayers separated by a space termed the periplasm. The periplasm is a multipurpose compartment separate from the cytoplasm. The periplasm has a distinct oxidizing environment that allow certain key protein structural features to be formed. Can you identify an amino acid(s) that would be affected by this oxidizing environment? How would it be affected, and what structural features would be sensitive to this environment? Can you discuss the implications of this from a standpoint of recombinant protein expression?arrow_forward
