The Relative Efficiency of ATP Synthesis in Noncyclic versus Cyclic Photophosphorylation If noncyclic photosynthetic electron transport leads to the translocation of 7 H+/2e- and cyclic photosynthetic electron transport leads to the translocation of 2 H+/e-, what is the relative photosynthetic efficiency of ATP synthesis (expressed as the number of photons absorbed per ATP synthesized) for noncyclic versus cyclic photophosphorylation? (Assume that the CF1CF0-ATP synthase yields 3 ATP/14 H+.)
How Do Vitamin-Derived Coenzymes Aid Metabolism? What chemical functionality is provided to enzyme reactions by pyridoxal phosphate (we Chapter 13)? By coenzyme A (see Chapter I9)? By vitamin B12 (see Chapter 23)? By thiamine pyrophosphate (see Chapter 19)?
Using the answer code on the right, indicate which form of energy production is being described: 1. takes place in the mitochondrial matrix 2. produces H2O as a by-product 3. results in a rich yield of ATP 4. takes place in the cytosol 5. processes acetyl-CoA 6. takes place in the mitochondrial innermembrane cristae 7. converts glucose into two pyruvate molecules 8. uses molecular oxygen 9. accomplished by the electron transport system and ATP synthase (a) glycolysis (b) citric acid cycle (c) oxidative phosphorylation
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase catalyzes the first step of the pentose phosphate pathway. This enzyme is highly specific for NADP+; the KM for NAD+ is about a thousand times that of NADP+. What does this mean in terms of affinity of the enzyme for NAD+ and NADP+? How would being forced to use NAD+ affect rate?
Assuming all the NADH+H+ and FADH2 are used for oxidative phosphorylation, how many net ATP are made from 1 molecule of glucose? (hint: don’t forget to also include substrate level phosphorylation)
During the transition step following glycolysis, __________ is converted into __________. Question options: NONE of these conversions occurs during the transition step NADH / NAD+ acetyl / pyruvate ADP / ATP O2 / H2O glucose / pyruvate
If decanoic acid (10 : 0) undergoes complete β-oxidation in mitochondria, how many net ATP is yielded? (NADH = 2.5 ATP; FADH2 = 1.5 ATP; Acetyl CoA = 10 ATP) Answer in number only
Describe the PPP reactions (metabolites and enzymes involved) that would be used if the cell requires Ribose-5-phosphate, but no NADPH.
During glycolysis step 7, ATP synthesis occurs through ______. The energy for this reaction comes _____ oxidative phosphorylation; indirectly from oxidation of NADH/FADH2 Gaining of electron; Hydrolysis of ADP Reduction of Oxygen; Dissipation of proton gradient substrate level phosphorylation; coupling directly to an exergonic reaction.
A cell is grown on minimal media containing only 3-phosphoglyceric acid as a source of carbon and energy. What is the most likely place this compound would enter the metabolic cycle? Group of answer choices Glycolysis Conversion of Pyruvate to Acetyl-CoA The TCA Cycle The Electron Transport Chain
Which of the following statements concerning oxidative phosphorylation is false? Group of answer choices: The electron transport chain generates an electrochemical gradient that drives the production of ATP. ATP synthase with fewer subunits in its c ring will produce more ATP per proton. A “loose” β subunit of ATP synthase becomes a “tight” site as it produces ATP. When the supply of NADH and QH2 (ubiquinol) decreases, ATP synthase produces more ATP.
Which of the following statements about the use the NADPH generated from the pentose phosphate pathway is not true? NADPH generated from the pentose phosphate pathway is used for the synthesis of fatty acids. b. NADPH generated from the pentose phosphate pathway and cytoplasmic NADH is metabolically interchangeable. O c. NADPH generated from the pentose phosphate pathway is used for the regeneration of glutathione to its reduced state. O d. NADPH generated from the pentose phosphate pathway is used for lipid synthesis. Clear my choice
