It is asking how floating ice would affect you in the world you live on (obviously) but in the sense that you don’t live near an ocean the biggest impact of floating ice is the ice in your water. If you were to be on a ship or near a colder ocean, then icebergs would affect you in that way.

Water is one of the few substances which expand in volume when frozen, compared to liquid. Usually substances condense when cooled, but at the point of freezing, when liquid water becomes solid ice, the molecules lock into a matrix in which there is more space between molecules - ice expands! This is why ice floats on liquid water.

It is this miracle which has shaped the planet and allowed life to thrive. Expansion of ice is responsible for much land-shaping erosion on land, the heaving off of boulders from mountain tops. And the floating of ice on lakes, rivers and oceans - if the frozen water was indeed more dense than liquid water, it would sink and pile up in the cold depths. There would be no life thriving under the ice, overwintering. It would all eventually freeze solid, and all the life forms with it.

Calculate the number of ATPs generated by the complete metabolic oxidation of tripalmitin (tripalmitoylglycerol). Hydrolysis of
trapecia [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

412 ATP's will be generated from the complete metabolic oxidation of tripalmitin (tripalmitoylglycerol)

130 ATP from the oxidation of palmitate

22 ATP from the oxidation of glycerol

Altogether 130 + 22 = 412 ATP will be produced.

Here in case of tripalmitin (tripalmitoylglycerol), we have 51 carbons.

When 51 carbons can produce 412 ATPs

Then 1 carbon will produce how many ATPs = 412 ATPs/ 51 carbon= 8.1 ATPs.

This shows that ATP yield per carbon often oxidized will be 8.1 ATPs

Now we will see the ATP yield in the case of glucose.

Glucose is made up of 6 carbon and complete oxidation of glucose will produce 38 ATPs

When 6 carbons can yield 38 ATPs

Then 1 carbon can yield how many ATPs= 38 ATPs/ 6 carbons= 6.33 ATPs.

So, ATP yield per carbon in case of glucose will be 6.33 ATPs
