Knowing that liquid liquid phase separation will occur when the change of gibbs free energy of the system is negative and the gibbs free energy is contributed of enthalpy and entropy. Please states all the conditions (maybe like increasing/decreasing the concentration of that molecules? etc.) in biological system that induce liquid liquid phase separation.

The distribution of Na* ions across a typical biological membrane is 10 mmol/dm3 inside the cell, and 140 mmol/dm³ outside the cell. At equilibrium, the concentrations across the membrane are equal. What is the Gibbs energy difference across the membrane at 37°C? The stated difference in concentration MUST be maintained by coupling to reactions that have at least your calculated difference of Gibbs energy. Ans: 6.8 kJ/mol
Figure 6.8 Look at each of the processes shown, and decide if it is endergonic or exergonic. In each case, does enthalpy increase or decrease, and does entropy increase or decrease?
When amphipathic biomolecules form micelles in polar solvents, this is an example of increasing entropy in the solvent True False
In a 0.1000 M acetic acid solution at 25 degrees celsius , the acid ionizes to the extent of about 1.34 %. Since each molecule of acetic acid which ionizes produces 1 H+ ion and 1 C2H3O2- ion, the concentration in the solution are: HC2H3O2 < -----------> H+ + C2H3O2-
At Electrochemical Equilibrium, which best describes the distribution of ions in the chamber, on either side of the membrane, when one "mole" of salt (NaCl) is added to one side of a 1 liter chamber, filled with water and divided in half by a membrane permeable only to Na+. 2.0 M CI- and 1.25 M Na+ one side of the membrane; 0.75 M Na+ on the other side of the membrane. 1.0 M CI- and 1.0 M Na+ on both sides of the membrane. 2.0 M CI- and 1.0 M Na+ one side of the membrane; 1.0 M Na+ on the other side of the membrane. 2.0 M CI- and 2.0 M Na+ on one side of the membrane; pure water on the other side of the membrane.

True or false: The contributions to the change in Gibbs free energy of binding for a lipid ligand in the lipid bilayer to a membrane protein are going to be similar to those driving a water soluble ligand binding a free floating protein. Briefly explain your reasoning.
The second law of thermodynamics, in a very general sense, states that entropy (S) is always increasing. ASuniverse AS system + AS surroundings > 0 When phospholipids are dispersed in an aqueous solution, they will often form more ordered structures in the form of micelles, liposomes, or lipid bilayers. This behavior seemingly contradicts the second law of thermodynamics. Why is this behavior in agreement with the second law of thermodynamics? Liposome Micelle Bilayer sheet
For the equilibrium below, pKa₁ = 7.9 and pKa2 = 10.1. At what pH is [HA] equal to [A²-]? H₂A H+ + HA 2H+ + A²- OpH = 7.9 pH 10.1 pH = 10.1
Back titration: The major component of eggshells is calcium carbonate (CaCO3)(CaCO3) . To determine its calcium content, a back titration was done as described. 0.7520 g of dry, crushed eggshell was placed into an Erlenmeyer flask and dissolved with 25.00 mL of 1.026 M HCl according to the following reaction. CaCO3(s)+2HCl(aq)→CaCl2(aq)+H2O(l)+CO2(g)CaCO3(s)+2HCl(aq)→CaCl2(aq)+H2O(l)+CO2(g) To assist with the reaction between the HCl and CaCO3CaCO3 , the solution was heated to a boil, and then left to cool. Once no more CO2(g)CO2(g) was being produced (the bubbling had stopped), approximately 25 mL of deionized water was added to the flask, and its contents were quantitatively transferred to a 100.00 mL volumetric flask. The volumetric flask was filled to the mark with deionized water and mixed. A 25.00 mL aliquot of the diluted CaCO3CaCO3 sample was pipetted into a separate Erlenmeyer flask and titrated with 22.96 mL of standardized 0.1080 M NaOH to the phenolphthalein end point.…
If protein X produces a higher absorbance reading at pH 7 than it does at pH 9, what can you conclude? Question 1 options: A lesser amount of protein X was used in the reaction at pH 7 than at pH 9. A greater amount of protein X was used in the reaction at pH 9 than at pH 7. Protein X is a more efficient catalyst at pH 7 than it is at pH 9. Protein X is a more efficient catalyst at pH 9 than it is at pH 7.
Many compounds taste sweet to humans. Sweet taste results when a molecule binds to the sweet receptor, one type of taste receptor, on the surface of certain tongue cells. The stronger the binding, the lower the concentration required to saturate the receptor and the sweeter a givenconcentration of that substance tastes. The standard free-energy change, ΔG°, of the binding reaction between a sweet molecule and a sweet receptor can be measured in kilojoules or kilocalories per mole.Sweet taste can be quantified in units of “molar relative sweetness” (MRS), a measure that compares the sweetness of a substance to the sweetness of sucrose. For example, saccharin has an MRS of 161; this means that saccharin is 161 times sweeter than sucrose. In practical terms, this is measured by asking human subjects to compare the sweetness ofsolutions containing different concentrations of each compound. Sucrose and saccharin taste equally sweet when sucrose is at a concentration 161 times higher than…
