Culture comprising a B. subtlis strain by inoculating 1g of cells into 1 liter bioreactor. Fermentor containing 10g/l of glucose. The maximum specific growth rate of the culture is 1.0 /h. The biomass yield from glucose is 0.5 g/g. If the residual glucose concentration left out is 1g/l, the final cell concentration in g/l achieved would be around

#Unit 1. Structure and Function of Biomolecules

In glycolysis, fructose 1,6-bisphosphate is converted to two products with a standard free-energy change (DG'°) of 23.8 kJ/mol.  Under what conditions encountered in a normal cell will the free-energy change (DG) be negative, enabling the reaction to proceed spontaneously to the right?
