Question
This question has multiple parts. Work all the parts to get the most points. PLEASE ANSWER PART B
Assume that mitochondria are cylinders 8.00 ?m in length and 0.500 ?m in diameter.
What is the volume of a single mitochondrion?
The volume of a cylinder is given by the expression:
Volume = 0.00000000000000000157 m3
Oxaloacetate is an intermediate in the citric acid cycle, an important metabolic pathway localized in the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells. The concentration of oxaloacetate in mitochondria is about 0.0130 ?M.
b. Calculate the number of molecules of oxaloacetate in a single mitochondria.
(Avogadro's constant = 6.023×1023 molecules mol-1)
___________molecules
Assume that mitochondria are cylinders 8.00 ?m in length and 0.500 ?m in diameter.
What is the volume of a single mitochondrion?
The volume of a cylinder is given by the expression:
Volume = 0.00000000000000000157 m3
Explanation / Answer
volume of a single mitochondrion= volume of a cylinder= 0.00000000000000000157 m3
b) number of molecules of oxaloacetate in a single mitochondria= 0.0130*10^(-6)*1.57*10^(-18)*6.023*10^23*10^3
=12.29
=12
