Explain why prokaryotes can produce 38 ATP per glucose molecule while eukaryotes can produce only 36 ATP.

Explain why prokaryotes can produce 38 ATP per glucose molecule while eukaryotes can produce only 36 ATP. (Hint: what IS a prokaryote?).

Explain the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration.

Although it appears that Photosynthesis has preceded Cellular Respiration by billions of years, the processes share many structural features. 1. Create a table comparing and contrasting the two processes. Include in your comparison variables such as organism type, energy source, cellular location, substrates/reactants/products, full and balanced chemical reaction, carrier molecules, and any other parameter you find relevant. 2. Apart from its essential role in cellular respiration, the mitochondrion is thought to be implicated in a variety of disease states as well as the process of aging. The mitochondrion contains its own circular DNA molecule(s) (termed mtDNA) which largely encode... click for more

How is cell division controlled?

How is cell division controlled? Do all cells continuously divide? Why or why not? What are the ramifications of uncontrolled cell division?

After three bouts of replication, how many new molecules of DNA are formed?

Two strands of a DNA molecule are radio-labeled such that each strand can be uniquely identified. After three bouts of replication, how many new molecules of DNA are formed? How many strands of DNA are radio-labeled? Are both radio-labeled strands in the same DNA molecule? Why or why not?
