Consider the docosanoic acid, C21H43CO2H Label the alpha and beta Carbons. Draw each acyl CoA derived from this fatty acid. How many acetyl Co A molecules are formed by complete beta-oxidation? How many cycles of beta-oxidation are needed for complete oxidation? How many molecules of ATP are formed from the complete catabolism of this fatty acid? Show the complete computation. How many moles of ATP per gram of fatty acid is formed from the complete catabolism of the given fatty acid? What is the molar mass of the given fatty acid?
Oxidative phosphorylation is achieved through chemiosmotic coupling, which turns chemical energy into osmotic potential energy that is used to synthesize the energy “currency” of the cell (ATP). This process is divided into stage 1 (electron transport chain) and stage 2 (ATP synthase). Answer the following questions about each stage: In stage 1, what is the energy source used to form the proton gradient across the inner membrane and what is the principal carrier of this energy source? In stage 2, the total potential energy (proton-motive force) stored in the proton gradient used to power ATP synthase is composed of two components. What are these two components?
Trypanosomes living in the bloodstream obtain all their free energy from glycolysis. They take up glucose from the host’s blood and excrete pyruvate as a waste product. In this part of their life cycle, trypanosomes do not carry out any oxidative phosphorylation, but they do use another oxygen-dependent pathway, which is absent in mammals, to oxidize NADH. Would this pathway be necessary if the trypanosome excreted lactate rather than pyruvate? Explain.
Acyl-CoA synthase is the enzyme that activates a fatty acid by converting it to a fatty acyl-CoA in a series of two reactions. In the first reaction, the fatty acid reacts with ATP and one of the products formed is ADP. The other product reacts in a second reaction with CoASH to form the fatty acyl-CoA. Propose a mechanism for each of the reactions.
