Imagine that height in corn plants is determined by three loci. The baseline height is 100 cm. Every + allele adds 10cm to the plant’s potential height, every – allele subtracts 10 cm from the plant’s potential height. The shortest possible plant and the tallest possible plant are mated to form an F1, what is the height of the F1?

The following statements are related to pentose phosphate pathway.

a) The first and third steps are oxidations with large, negative standard free-energy changes and are essentially irreversible in the cell

b) NADPH rises and inhibits the first enzyme in the pentose phosphate pathway. As a result, more glucose 6-phosphate is available for glycolysis

c) All the enzymes of the reversible reaction of the pentose phosphate pathway are located in the cytosol

d) The NADPH is used for biosynthetic reactions such as lipid synthesis and nitrogen assimilation in the cytosol

Consider the transport of glucose into an erythrocyte by facilitated diffusion.  When the glucose concentrations are 5 mM on the outside and 0.1 mM on the inside, the free-energy change for glucose uptake into the cell is:  (These values may be of use to you:  R = 8.315 J/mol·K; T = 298 K; 9 (Faraday constant) = 96,480 J/V; N = 6.022×10²³ /mol.)
