It is proposed that the periplasmic space of gram-negative bacteria is iso-osmotic relative to the cytosol. If true, this poses a challenge for these cells when having to deal with turgor pressure. For example, it is generally believed that the rigid periplasmic peptidoglycan layer of these cells could resist the force of turgor pressure if it were exerted outward across the inner plasma membrane; thus, preventing plasma membrane lysis. However, if the periplasm is iso-osmotic with the cytosol, as proposed, the outer membrane must be under stress from the outward force of turgor pressure. Given that it is not thought that the outer membrane is built to withstand high turgor pressure, propose a plausible mechanism for how these cells resist lysis of the outer membrane in the face of high, outward turgor pressure force.

Part e - sequence of metabolic processes each of the different cellular metabolic pathways occurs in a specific order. consider aerobic cellular metabolism from the beginning to end. what is the sequential order of the metabolic processes that starts with glucose and results in the production of carbon dioxide, water, and atp? put the following in the correct sequential order. rank from earliest to latest. to rank items as equivalent, overlap them. view available hint(s) acetyl coaglycolysiscitric acid cycle pyruvate finishstartstart background image electron transport chain background image finish background image submit cellular metabolism is often expressed as an equation. this equation puts into perspective, on a general scale, the substances needed to start cellular metabolism and the products that come out of it. the equation represents the overall product yield after every step of cellular metabolism is complete (i.e., glycolysis through the electron transport system). in this part of the tutorial you task will be to put together the equation that represents cellular metabolism. you will also learn the products that result from each metabolic pathway and the role that some these products play in the production of atp.
