Discuss the very important photography exhibit that was mentioned in my lecture “Photography Since 1950”.  Who organized it, where was the exhibit shown, what was the intent of the exhibit, and why is it so important. Add any other relevant details about the exhibit.  

Which of the following lists includes amino acids that can NOT be synthesized by vertebrates and are therefore considered ‘essential amino acids’?

Electron transport chain activity participates in the formation of the mitochondrial membrane potential. 1. Define ‘membrane potential’. 2. Across which membrane is this membrane potential generated? 3. Clearly state the charge difference across this membrane by filling in the 2 blanks and selecting from + or – in the statement listed below:  “The ______ side of this membrane is (+ / – ) charged relative to the ______ side of this membrane.”

Which of the following statements best describes why anaerobically grown yeast ferment pyruvate to ethanol?

The mitochondrial inner membrane has a voltage gradient across it. The transport of which ion is responsible for this charge difference across the membrane? (2pt) Which side of the inner membrane is more negative: the intermembrane space side of the membrane or the matrix side of the membrane? (1pt)

In mammalian cells, excess sugars like glucose are stored in what high polymeric structure? In what subcellular location would they be found?

As a citric acid cycle enzyme, the electrons that succinate dehydrogenase donates to the respiratory chain complexes contributes to the generation of the proton motive force.

Less ATP is generated from the metabolism of glucose during glycolysis than during oxidative phosphorylation.

Which component of the electron transport chain is responsible for using oxygen as the final electron acceptor?

Social Security and Medicare are notable for their assistance to especially which group?
