A batch culture of E. coli was initiated with a medium containing 10 g/L of glucose, 2 g/L of ammonia, and 0.1 g/L of cells. At the end of culture, 0.1 g/L of glucose remained in the medium. A total of 5.1 g/L of E. coli were recovered. The elemental composition of the cells was determined to be (by mass) 53% C, 7.3% H, 12.0% N, and 19.0% O, with the remaining balance being ashes.
a) Calculate the yield (by mass) of biomass based on glucose and nitrogen.
b) Write down the stoichiometric equation for biomass formation from glucose and ammonia.
c) Assume all the carbon that was not incorporated into biomass was used for energy generation and was completely oxidized to carbon dioxide. Also, assume that each mole of glucose produces 38 moles of ATP when completely oxidized to carbon dioxide. Calculate the biomass yield coefficient based on ATP.

Choose the incorrect statement (a) the motor end plate membrane is only capable of generating graded potentials, but it is contiguous with the skeletal muscle sarcolemma, which can generate action potentials. (b) propagation of an action potential through the t-tubules into the sarcoplasmic reticulum triggers the release of ca++ into the cytoplasm of a skeletal muscle fiber. (c) the generation of suprathreshold endplate potentials in multiple muscle fibers could be due to the increased frequency of action potential generation at the axon hillock of a single motor neuron. (d) a greater amount of ach would be found in the presynaptic vesicles of a motor unit that fired several action potentials after exposure to botulinum toxin, than in a motor unit that fired several action potentials after exposure to the venom of the krait snake (which contains α-bungarotoxin).

1. mendel observed that pea plants had traits, such as color, that were either “one or the other,” never something in between. discuss the correlation between mendel’s factors, what they might be, and why pea plant traits come in one form or another—e. g., gray or dark red—rather than blended.
