The smaller the dew point depression, the higher the relative humidity.

Calculate the actual free energy of ATP hydrolysis in a muscle cell given the following conditions: [ATP] = 3.0 mM [ADP] = 0.5 mM [P] = 2.0 mM R = 8.315 J/mol·K T = 310 K (37°C) ΔG’° for ATP hydrolysis = -30.5 kJ/mol The equation for calculating the actual free energy (ΔG) is:  

Mutarotation is the change in optical rotation observed in sugar solutions as they reach an equilibrium between their α and β anomers. This phenomenon occurs because sugars, particularly those with hemiacetal or hemiketal structures, can open into a linear form in solution and re-close to form either anomer. Each anomer has a distinct optical rotation, and over time, the solution stabilizes to a specific rotation reflecting the equilibrium mixture. Mutarotation is influenced by factors like pH, temperature, and solvent and is significant in biological processes, as enzyme specificity often depends on the sugar’s anomeric form, impacting pathways and reactions where sugars play a role.     According to the above Haworth Projection, which carbons determine the stereochemistry and which carbon is the anomeric carbon, respectively?

Write your literary analysis outline below.  Be sure to follow the numbering system in the sample outline. Note: I am not going to be picky about indents and line placements, so don’t worry if your outline alignment doesn’t match the sample.
