Question

Calculate the probability of finding things in the cell at body tempreture.

a-If the binding of ribsoomes to ER is favored by n1KT, what is the probability of finding a ribsome bound the ER?

b-if the bindinf of nucleotides to form DNA polymer is favored byn2KT, what is the probability of finding a nucleotide bound as part of DNA polymer ?

c- change in n1 and n2 and show how the biology of the cell will be effected.

Volume of cell=3000 micrometer^3

Volume of ribosome=4*10^3nanometer ^3

Surface area of cell=1600*10^-12 micrometer

volume of nucleous=1/3 Volume of cell

Volume of ER=5% of volume of cell

body temp=986 F

3.3 -9.5 milion ribosmoes in one cell

3 bilion base pairs ,6 bilion nucleotides in one cell

surafce area of ribosome =20 nanometer

Volume of nucleotides=.5nanometer^3

volume of basepair =1 nanometer^3

Update: what other information do you need ?

I am more than willing to provide the data/informtaion that is missing, if you tell me what it is ?

Thank you evry much in advance .

To answer this question Biology subject expertice is needed. Let us try to figure out the answer as per the given data.

a) Volume of ribsoomes-> 4*10^3nanometer ^3

Volume of ER ->5% Volume of Cell

=> 5/100 * volume of cell

=> 5/10 * (3000 micrometer^3)

If the binding of ribsoomes to ER is favored by n1 KT,

The probability of finding a ribsomes bound in ER = (4*10^3nanometer ^3) favored by n1 KT/ (4*10^3nanometer ^3)

b) Probability =volume of nucleotides favoured by 2n KT/ volume of DNA polymer

=> (volume of cells * 6 billion) favoured by 2n KT/ volume of DNA polymer
