Question
Chapter 5.5, Problem 3EQ
Summary Introduction
To explain: The results of the experiment support the proposed hypothesis of the experiment.
Introduction: The passive transports involve the downhill movement of molecules without the expenditure of energy. Very often more than one transport mechanism is involved in the transport of a solute. Hence, the overall rate of the transported solute maybe higher than individual rates of movement of solute.

Your team suggests changing the temperature of the oil spill site in order to enhance the bioremediation process. Do you consider this decision effective? Why and why not? Explain, in your answer, the effect of changing the zone tension on the homeostasis capacity of the bacteria you use and their ability to withstand the osmotic pressure of the new surrounding solvent. In your answer, state how osmosis works and state the degree of tension of the solution (isotonic, hypertonic or hypotonic). Explain why osmosis is really just a special case of facilitated diffusion
A continuious, stirred-tank bioreactor with an actively growing culture of bacteria is operating at steady state. While holding all other operating parameters constant, the flowrate is suddenly decreased. A new steady state is achieved. When comparing the new steady state conditions to the original steady state conditions, what can be said ? (select the best answer from below).
any of the answers given here could be true, we'd have to know the initial steady state

Tropomyosin, at 93 kd, sediments at 2.6S, whereasthe 65-kd protein, hemoglobin, sediments at 4.3S. (Thesedimentation coefficient S is a linear measure of the rateof sedimentation.) These two proteins are drawn to scalein Figure Q8–1. How is it that the bigger protein sedimentsmore slowly than the smaller one? Can you think of ananalogy from everyday experience that might help youwith this problem?

Lipid peroxidation experiment:Materials;• 10% TCA solution• 0.67% TBA solution• Tissue sample Procedures:The tissue sample is buffered at the ratio of 1 x 4 and crushed with the help of a blender. It is centrifuged at 15 000 rpm. Then, 2.5 mL of 10% TCA is added onto 0.5 mL of tissue sample and the tubes are mixed in vortex. It is kept in boiling water for 15 minutes and immediately cooled. After centrifugation at 5000 rpm for 15 minutes, 2 mL of each supernatant is transferred to another tube. 1 mL of 0.67% TBA is added on it and mixed in vortex. After the samples are kept in boiling water for 15 minutes and cooled immediately, their absorbance at 532 nm is recorded. The amount of MDA is calculated by utilizing the highest absorbance specific absorbance values (E = 1.56 x 105cm-1M-1 ) of the MDA-TBA complex formed at 532 nm.arrow_forwardWhat are the percentages of sulphur and phosphorus isotope that were present extracellularly after 4 minutes of blending experiment in Hershey - Chase blender experiment.
