Two intracellular molecules, X and Y, are both normally synthesized
at a constant rate of 1000 molecules per second per cell. Molecule
X is broken down slowly – each molecule of X survives on average
for 100 seconds. Molecule Y is broken down 10 times faster – each
molecule of Y survives on average for 10 seconds. A) Calculate how
many molecules of X and Y the cell contains at any time? and what
If the rates of synthesis of both X and Y are suddenly increased
tenfold to 10,000 molecules per second per cell in response to a
signaling cascade, without any changes in respective degradation
rates, how many molecules of X and Y will there be after one
second?
