In yeast, ethanol is produced from glucose under anaerobic conditions. A cell‑free yeast extract is placed in a solution that co

ntains 325 mmol glucose, 0.35 mmol ADP , 0.35 mmol P i , 0.70 mmol ATP , 0.20 mmol NAD + , and 0.20 mmol NADH . It is kept under anaerobic conditions. What is the maximum amount of ethanol (in millimoles) that could theoretically be produced under these conditions?

Answer:

650 mmol.

Explanation:

The equation for the fermentation of one mole of glucose is:

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 2 NAD⁺ + 2 ADP + 2 P i + 2 NADH → 2 EtOH + 2 ATP + 2 NADH + 2 NAD⁺

Since NAD⁺/NADH is used and regenerated, we can eliminate it from the equation:

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 2 ADP + 2 P i  → 2 EtOH + 2 ATP

With the equation, we calculate the maximum amount of ethanol that could be obtained theoretically:

1000 mmol C₆H₁₂O₆ ------------ 2000 mmol EtOH

325 mmol C₆H₁₂O₆ ------------- x= 650 mmol EtOH

Therefore, the maximum amount of ethanol that could be produced is 650 mmol.

A 5.5 g sample of a substance contains only carbon and oxygen. Carbon makes up 35% of the mass of the substance. The rest is mad
Umnica [9.8K]

We have been given the condition that carbon makes up 35% of the mass of the substance and the rest is made up of oxygen. With this, it can be concluded that 65% of the substance is made up of oxygen. If we let x be the mass of oxygen in the substance, the operation that would best represent the scenario is,

<span>                                       x = (0.65)(5.5 g)</span>

<span>                                       <em> </em><span><em>x = 3.575 g</em></span></span>

Krypton-79 has a half-life of 35 hours. how many half-lives have passed after 105 hours?
Nookie1986 [14]
The number of half -lives that has passed after 105  hours  for krypton-79 that has  half-life of 35 hours is calculated as below

if 1 half life = 35 hours

what about 105 hours = ? half-lives

= (1 half life  x105  hours) /35 hours = 3 half-lives  has passed after 105 hours
