Question

Assume saccharomyces cerevisiae is grown in a nutrient medium containing the radioisotope 35p. After a 48-hour incubation, the 35p would most likely be found in the s. Cerevisiaeʹs

Answer 1

After a 48-hour incubation, the 35p is most likely found in the supernatant of saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Step-by-step explanation:

After a 48-hour incubation of saccharomyces cerevisiae in a nutrient medium containing the radioisotope 35p, the 35p would most likely be found in the supernatant. In the centrifugation process, the pellet contains the solid components, while the supernatant contains the liquid components. Since radioisotopes are typically dissolved in liquid, it is more likely to be found in the supernatant.

Answer 2

After a 48-hour incubation, the 35S would most likely be found in the S. cerevisiae's proteins.

35S is the isotope of sulfur with the half-life of 87.6 days. It is often used isotope because it is low energy β emitter and even large amounts of 35S pose no external dose hazard to exposed organism. 35S is used for the examination of protein synthesis in the Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell cycle.
