Bioenergetics and Metabolism

Direction: A solution was prepared by dissolving 100 mg of protein X in 100 ml of water.
Molecular weight of protein X is 15,000 Da; Avogadro’s number = 6.022 × 1023.

  1. The number of moleculespresent in this solution is
    1. 40.15 × 1019
    2. 6.023 × 1019
    3. 4.015 × 1019
    4. 0.08 × 1019
    5. All to Marks
Correct Option: E

Number of moles present in the solution of protein = (100/15) = 6.667 moles
Number of molecules present in the solution = no. of moles × Avogadro’s number
= 6.667 × 6.022 × 1022  
= 40.146 × 1022 molecules
