A molecular motor moves along a microtubule track in steps of 100 Å displacements. The motor hydrolyzes one molecule of ATP per step. The motor operates under conditions where the free-energy change for ATP hydrolysis is –60 kJ•mol–1. What is the maximum resistive force against which the motor can move cargo?

F= 10⁻¹¹ N

Explanation:

We are given that a molecular motor moves in steps of 100  Å.

The energy change for ATP hydrolysis is –60 kJ•mol⁻¹

Now we have to find the maximum resistive force against which motor can move cargo.

So the force will be equal to the energy value divided by the distance in meters.

F= = −6000000000

Ignoring the minus sign.

And for one molecule of ATP per step, the value is divided by Avogadro's number.

F=

F= 10⁻¹¹ N

a high pressure system is a dense air mass that is usually cooler and drier than the surrounding air. a low pressure system is a less dense air mass that is usually wetter and warmer than the surrounding air.

in general, areas that experience high atmospheric pressure also experience fair weather. low pressure systems can cause the formation of clouds and storms. air usually flows from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure..
