Based on the following information, write a detailed hypothesis for the potential experiment
y. lipolytica expresses a protein, gpr1, needed for growth on certain carbon sources. when the carbon source is depleted, gpr1 is dephosphorylated. when new carbon sources are added, half the gpr1 population is phosphorylated. if acetate is the new carbon source, all gpr1 is phosphorylated. a dominant mutant version, gpr1 d , cannot survive with acetate as the carbon source.

ionic bonds are two oppositely charged ions that attract. a sodium ion has a 1 positive charge; a chloride ion has a 1 negative charge. sodium and chloride have oppostive charged ions that attract which forms an ionic bond. a chemical bond formed when two atoms share electrons is called

it provides an alternative energy pathway for the reaction to proceed.

a catalyst is a substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction but is not consumed during the course of the reaction.

catalysts increase the rate of reaction without being used up. they do this by lowering the activation energy needed. with a catalyst, more collisions result in a reaction, so the rate of reaction increases. different reactions need different catalysts.

a catalyst works by providing an alternative reaction pathway to the reaction product. the rate of the reaction is increased as this alternative route has a lower activation energy than the reaction route not mediated by the catalyst.
