Oct. 12	Enzymes Test 27 multiple choice. Use the booklet from class as your guide. The test covers all the topics. Graph interpretation is important. Lots of graphs! 8 marks written response. Induced fit, effect of substrate concentration, enzyme concentration, pH, temperature on rate of reaction. You might have to draw a graph. Ways to increase rate of reaction. Explain in detail how reversible inhibition is used to control tryptophan production in bacteria. How does DNP work as a diet aid and why is it so deadly? (2,4-Dinitrophenol) DNP acts as a protonophore, allowing protons to leak across the inner mitochondrial membrane and thus bypass ATP synthase. This makes ATP energy production less efficient. In effect, part of the energy that is normally produced from cellular respiration is wasted as heat. The inefficiency is proportional to the dose of DNP that is taken. As the dose increases and energy production is made more inefficient, metabolic rate increases (and more fat is burned) in order to compensate for the inefficiency and to meet energy demands. DNP is probably the best known agent for uncoupling oxidative phosphorylation. The "phosphorylation" of adenosine diphosphate (ADP) by ATP synthase gets disconnected or "uncoupled" from oxidation. The factor that limits ever-increasing doses of DNP is not a lack of ATP energy production, but rather an excessive rise in body temperature due to the heat produced during uncoupling. (From Wikipedia - 2,4-Dinitrophenol.) Cell Respiration Lab - Next time we will use eudiometers, one at time, and run 0%, 5%, and 10%. We will also keep temperature constant on hot plates with thermometers, check the volume of gas every 2 minutes, and graph the rate of cellular respiration. Could also try to adapt with peas as per AP lab. Use erlenmeyer flask instead of test tube. Reason. Test tube traps bubbles. Cellular Respiration Summary

(2,4-Dinitrophenol) DNP acts as a protonophore, allowing protons to leak across the inner mitochondrial membrane and thus bypass ATP synthase. This makes ATP energy production less efficient. In effect, part of the energy that is normally produced from cellular respiration is wasted as heat. The inefficiency is proportional to the dose of DNP that is taken. As the dose increases and energy production is made more inefficient, metabolic rate increases (and more fat is burned) in order to compensate for the inefficiency and to meet energy demands. DNP is probably the best known agent for uncoupling oxidative phosphorylation. The "phosphorylation" of adenosine diphosphate (ADP) by ATP synthase gets disconnected or "uncoupled" from oxidation. The factor that limits ever-increasing doses of DNP is not a lack of ATP energy production, but rather an excessive rise in body temperature due to the heat produced during uncoupling. (From Wikipedia - 2,4-Dinitrophenol.) Cell Respiration Lab - Next time we will use eudiometers, one at time, and run 0%, 5%, and 10%. We will also keep temperature constant on hot plates with thermometers, check the volume of gas every 2 minutes, and graph the rate of cellular respiration. Could also try to adapt with peas as per AP lab. Use erlenmeyer flask instead of test tube. Reason. Test tube traps bubbles. Go over Enzymes Test Cellular Respiration Summary

We used alcohol, which is more polar (like water) than acetone: Most non-polar pigment – carotene (attracted to acetone, which is less polar). Travels further. Most polar – Chlorophyll b (doesn’t dissolve as well in acetone). Solvent that works: Solvent: heptane and acetone. See sample that worked tomorrow in class! (Sample extracted in alcohol and then in hexane. )
