Q1. Consider a cell that can usually grow either with or without oxygen. You also have a mutated strain of this similar cell type. In the mutated strain, citrate synthetase is present in a mutated form. The enzyme at rest converts reactant normally to product but no allosteric molecules can bind the allosteric site. In the absence of oxygen, will mutated cell make less more or the same ATP than the normal cell? How about in the occurrence of oxygen?
Q2. When examining geology of a region for potential useable aquifers, what characteristics or factors would you consider? Also, taking into account certain natural and human factors, which areas would you avoid?
