The pKaʹs of the side chain group and the α-carboxyl group of glutamate are 4.1 and 2.1, respectively. Which statement accounts for this difference?

#Section 2: General Biology
  1. The side chain has more possible resonance structures.

  2. The α-carboxyl group has less steric hindrance and is therefore ionized more easily.

  3. The side chain is a different functional group than the α-carboxyl group.

  4. The α-carboxyl group is closer to the α-amino group than the side chain is.

Ethanol is to be used as a substrate for single-cell protein production in a chemostat. The available equipment can achieve an oxygen transfer rate of 10 g O2/l of liquid per hour. Assume the kinetics of cell growth on ethanol is of the Monod type, with µm = 0.5 h–1, Ks = 30 mg/l, YX/S = 0.5 cells/g ethanol, and YO2/S = 2 g O2/g EtOH. We wish to operate the chemostat with an ethanol concentration in the feed of 22 g/L. We also wish to maximize the biomass productivity and minimize the loss of unused ethanol in the effluent. Determine the required dilution rate
