When vesicles of the cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (CSR) are incubated with ATP Mg^2+ and Ca^2+, they take up Ca^2+ and reach a

pseudo steady-state. This is a steady state that changes, but slowly. The uptake of Ca2+ is mediated by the SERCA2a Ca-ATPase. The uptake reaction can be quenched by adding EGTA to the external solution, which binds the Ca^2+ outside of the vesicles, or by adding glucose plus hexokinase, that converts the ATP to ADP and glucose-6 phosphate. When the uptake reaction is stopped, Ca^2+ that was already taken up by the vesicles leaks out passively A. The amount of Ca^2+ taken up by the vesicles is generally normalized to the amount of CSR protein in mg rather than being expressed as a concentration. A typical steady state Ca2 uptake is 40 nmol mg^-1. In separate experiments, the enclosed volume of the CSR vesicles was determined to be 5 mu L mg. What is the approximate concentration of Ca^2+ inside the vesicles at steady-state? The total Ca^2+ concentration is its amount divided by the volume in which it is distributed. In this case the amount is 40 nmal mg CSR protein^-1 and the volume is 5 mu L mg CSR protein^-1, The concentration is estimated as B. The average vesicle size determined by electron microscopy is about 150 nm. What is the volume and surface area of a vesicle this size, assuming it is a sphere? C. Given that the enclosed volume of the aggregate vesicles is 5 iL mg-1, how many vesicles are there per mg of CSR protein? How much surface area is there per mg of CSR protein? D. The initial passive efflux at a load of 40 nmol mg when the pump is stopped is 16 nmol min^-1mg^-1. Convert this to a flux in units of nmol cm^-2 s^-1 by dividing by the surface area per mg of CSR protein and converting min to s. E. What is the passive permeability to Ca^2+ in cm s^-1?

Answer

I added 4 and 5 as an attachment due to time constraint.

Explanation:

1. at a steady state ca2+ taken by vesicle = 40n/mol

enclosed volume of CSR = 5μ/mg

concentration of ca2+ in vesicle =

40*10⁻⁶/5x10⁻⁶

= 0.008

= 8x10⁻⁹mol/L

2. radius of circle =75nM

volume = 150nm

volume of vesicle = 4/3 x pi x r³

= 1.33 x 3.14 x (75x10⁻⁹)³

= 1.77 x 10⁻²¹

when we convert this we get

1.77x10⁻¹⁸L since 1m³ is equal to 100oL

surface area =4x3.14x(75x10⁻⁹)²

= 12.56x5.625⁻¹⁵

= 7.065x10⁻¹⁴m²

this is 7.065x10⁻¹⁰cm²

3. number of vesicle/CSR

= 5x10⁻⁶/1.77x10⁻¹⁸

= 2.824x10¹²

surface are = 2.824x10¹² x7.06x10⁻¹⁰

= 19.95x10²

Which best describes a gene
motikmotik

Answer;

a segment of chromosomal DNA

Explanation;

A gene is a  hereditary unit consisting of a sequence of DNA that occupies a specific location on a chromosome and determines a particular characteristic in an organism. Genes undergo mutation when their DNA sequence changes.

It is the basic physical and functional unit of heredity. Genes are made up of DNA. Some genes act as instructions to make molecules called proteins.  However, many genes do not code for proteins.

Alleles are forms of the same gene with small differences in their sequence of DNA bases. These small differences contribute to each person’s unique physical features.
