Contrast the roles played by electrons (e-) and hydorgen ions (H+) during oxidative phosphorylation (Oxidative phosphorylation is the term used to describe both the electron transport chain and chemiosmosis of cellular respiration). Your answer will be scored by assessing how well you describe each of following points for each particle (e- and H+): 1. Describe what form energy takes when it is stored in each of these. 2. Describe how the amount of energy stored in either (e-) or (H+) changes throughout oxidative phosphorylation. 3. Describe what happens to each of these particles (e-, and H+) at the end of oxidative phosphorylation.

Calculate the ATP yield when glucose is catabolized completely to six CO2 by a eukaryotic microbe. How does this value compare to the ATP yield observed for a bacterium? Suppose a bacterium used the Entner-Doudoroff pathway to degrade glucose to pyruvate and then completed the catabolism of glucose via the TCA cycle. How would this affect the total maximum ATP yield? Explain your reasoning.
Consider ten glucose molecules that enter a cell. How many ATP can be generated by the complete catabolism of these into CO2 and H2O? If all ten are first incorporated into glycogen, liberated from glycogen, and then fully catabolized into CO2 and H2O, does the ATP tally increase, decrease or stay the same? Consider that 1 UTP = 1 ATP. Explain. Describe the processes which produce ATP and provide a balanced equation of glucose, CO2, H2O and O2
In terms of aerobic cellular respiration, explain how the irreversible steps of glycolysis and krebs, work in concert with oxidative phosphorylation (i.e., ETC and ATP synthase) to regulate the energy charge of the cell? Why do hepatocytes make more ATP from glucose than myocytes?
The pH values of the different compartments are shown below: matrix Intermembrane space Cytosol pH 7.8 – 8.0 pH ~ 7.0pH 7.0 – 7.4 Proton flow through ATP synthase leads to the formation of ATP, a process defined as the binding-change mechanism that was initially proposed by Boyer. Briefly explain Boyer’s binding change mechanism for the ATP synthase.
Assume a cell undergoes the Aerobic Respiration option of catabolism. Calculate the number of ATP molecules that it could theoretically generate if it starts with each of thefollowing molecules. 1. a) A 10-unit polysaccharide (i.e., contains 10 glucose molecules) b) Two molecules of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate c) Four molecules of succinic acid
What is the free energy change for generating the electrical imbalance of protons in respiring mitochondria in culture, where Δψ is 150 mV? (Express your answer in kJ/mol using 3 significant figures.)
Describe the energy transformation steps that occur within an electron transport chain during the process of oxidative phosphorylation. Please include a drawing of the explanation as well.
Consider the following types of cell and their respective conditions: a cell with ATP synthase deficiency* a yeast cell undergoing fermentation but with defective alcohol dehydrogenase (hint: In yeast, alcohol dehydrogenase is responsible for shuttling reducing equivalents of cytosolic NADH to the mitochondria.)* a brain cell with non-functional Complex II of the electron transport chain* * Assume that the deficiency is isolated and will not influence the function of other respiration components In these cells/tissues, determine the following from the catabolism of the 2.5 moles of the disaccharide lactose (will be hydrolyzed first to yield glucose and galactose). a. Net ATP from glycolysis b. ATP from oxidative decarboxylation (if applicable) c. ATP formed from Krebs cycle (if applicable) d. Total net ATP
Under standard conditions, is the oxidation of ubiquinol (Coenzyme Q) by O2 sufficiently exergonic to drive the synthesis of ATP? If yes, how many ATP can be synthesized assuming 100% efficiency?
Why does growth of ETPUM in Medium # require oxygen? ' ink about this in terms of howETPUM can generate a net gain in ATP by processing polyurethane. Remember that the degradationof polyurethane by polyurethanase does not expend ATP. In order to answer this question, address eachof the following questions in your answer:a. Is there a net gain or loss of ATP during the transport of the citrate?b. Consider the ATPs that can be generated via substrate-level phosphorylation. Will glycolysis beuseful for generating any ATPs during growth on polyurethane? How many ATPs can be generatedvia TCA? Is this enough to support growth (is there a net positive in the ATP tally)?c. Now consider how else ETPUM can generate ATPs (if not by substrate- level phosphorylation). Canthis process generate a net positive in the ATP tally?d. Now explain the importance of oxygen as relates to the ATP tally.
Imagine that the concentrations of reactants and products for the coupled reactions above in the cell are at a level that yields a smaller molar ratio of the concentrations than those relevant to the standard state conditions. Would the net free energy of coupled glucose breakdown and ATP synthesis be more or less favorable than the answer for net free energy of coupled glucose breakdown and ATP synthesis in organism in standard conditions. Please explain answer
If a bacterium has 12 c-subunits in its ATP synthase and a yeast (eukaryotic) has 10 c-subunits in its ATP synthase, which would have more ATP per mole glucose available for processes that require ATP in the cytoplasm? Calculate the amounts of ATP produced per H+ transferred to explain your answer.
