The plasma membrane of e. coli is approximately 75% protein and 25% phospholipid by weight. it is known that the average membrane protein molecular weight is 50,000 da and an average membrane phospholipid molecular weight is 750 da. calculate the number of membrane phospholipid molecules present per molecule of membrane protein. number phospholipid molecules per protein molecule select the additional information that one would need to calculate the fraction of membrane surface covered by phospholipids. the surface area of the e. coli cell the average cross-sectional areas of a 50,000 da protein and a 750 da phospholipid in a bilayer the average densities of a 50,000 da protein and a 750 da phospholipid the number of moles of protein and phospholipid 。in the membrane

Experiment: effect of solution concentration on reaction rate you have learned that as the concentration of reactants increases, there will most likely be a greater number of collisions, and hence increase the rate of a reaction. in this experiment, you will see a demonstration of this, with a twist. there will be three reactions going on in this experiment. objectives determine how solution concentration can affect the rate of a reaction. the first reaction will be a reaction of the iodide ion (i-1) with hydrogen peroxide (h2o2) in an acidic solution. this reaction produces a slightly orange solution. in our experiment, we will add some orange food coloring to make this solution more orange. 2 h+ (aq) + 2 i- (aq) + h2o2 (aq) ⟶ i2 (aq) + 2 h2o (l) the next reaction will be between the iodine and starch i2 + starch ⟶ i2-starch complex (blue-black) so, when starch is added to the iodine solution made from the first reaction, the solution will turn black immediately, so it is difficult to find the rate of reaction. in order to be able to time this reaction, you will slow it down with another reaction. adding ascorbic acid will react with the iodine, reducing the concentration of the iodine available to react with the starch. c6h8o6 (aq) + i2 (aq) ⟶ 2i- (aq) + c6h6o6 (aq) + 2 h+ (aq) when the ascorbic acid is used up, the remaining iodine molecules can react with the starch and form the black color. the more ascorbic acid you add, the slower the reaction to form the iodine-starch complex will be. use your data and observations to complete the assignment. analysis and conclusions submit your data and the answers to these questions in the essay box below. what was your hypothesis? plot your data as drops of ascorbic acid vs. time. as the concentration of ascorbic acid was increased, did the rate of the formation of the iodine-starch complex increase or decrease? explain your answer in terms of the chemical reactions involved. was your hypothesis correct? make a general rule about the effects of concentration of reactants on reaction rates. for practice, the molecular formula for ascorbic acid is c6h8o6, and you used 6 g in this experiment, calculate the molarity of the ascorbic acid. now calculate the concentration in moles per drop (assume 1 ml = 20 drops).
