(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The electron donor and an electron acceptor in the given system along with the most likely pathway of electron transport in a system where mitochondria were incubated with β-hydroxybutyrate, oxidized cytochrome c, ADP, Pi, and cyanide.

Introduction: Electron transport system (ETS) is comprised of a number of complexes that carry electron from its donors to its acceptors. ETS joins this transfer of electrons with the transfer of H+ ions across the mitochondrial membranes. The whole process of ETS drives the mechanism of ATP synthesis.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The number of moles of ATP that would be formed per mole of β-hydroxybutyrate oxidized, and write a balanced equation for the reaction that occurs in the given system where mitochondria were incubated with β-hydroxybutyrate, oxidized cytochrome c, ADP, Pi, and cyanide.

Introduction: Electron transport system (ETS) is comprised of a number of complexes that carry electron from its donors to its acceptors. ETS joins this transfer of electrons with the transfer of H+ ions across the mitochondrial membranes. The whole process of ETS drives the mechanism of ATP synthesis.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To explain: The purpose of adding cyanide to the system and the possible results if cyanide was not added in the reaction system where mitochondria were incubated with β-hydroxybutyrate, oxidized cytochrome c, ADP, Pi, and cyanide.

Introduction: Electron transport system (ETS) is comprised of a number of complexes that carry electron from its donors to its acceptors. ETS joins this transfer of electrons with the transfer of H+ ions across the mitochondrial membranes. The whole process of ETS drives the mechanism of ATP synthesis.

(d)

Summary Introduction

To explain: Whether the enzymes of the citric acid cycle would be active in the assay where mitochondria were incubated with β-hydroxybutyrate, oxidized cytochrome c, ADP, Pi, and cyanide, giving the reason for the same.

Introduction: Electron transport system (ETS) is comprised of a number of complexes that carry electron from its donors to its acceptors. ETS joins this transfer of electrons with the transfer of H+ ions across the mitochondrial membranes. The whole process of ETS drives the mechanism of ATP synthesis.

(e)

Summary Introduction

To explain: The importance of β-ketobutyrate not being metabolized in the given system, along with the possible effects if lactate was used as an oxidizable substrate instead of β-hydroxybutyrate as lactate and β-ketobutyrate are similar in structure.

Introduction: Electron transport system (ETS) is comprised of a number of complexes that carry electron from its donors to its acceptors. ETS joins this transfer of electrons with the transfer of H+ ions across the mitochondrial membranes. The whole process of ETS drives the mechanism of ATP synthesis.

IDENTIFICATION. Cellular localization of the electron transport chain during cellular respiration. A lipid soluble vitamin that has a regulatory function in blood clotting.  Energy that must increase and needed for the synthesis of glucose and other sugars in plants as well as the production of ATP from ADP.
BIOMOLECULES - MULTIPLE CHOICE - Please answer properly QUESTION : Supposed you want to use phosphoglucomutase to breakdown glycogen. You found out that this enzyme is responsible for converting glucose 1-phosphate (C6H13O9P) to glucose-6-phosphate (C6H13O9P). Based on this action, to which enzyme class does phosphoglucomutase belong? A. Isomerase B. Oxidoreductase C. Lyase D. Ligase
Multiple choice Ultimately, the goal of cellular respiration is to strip electrons from glucose. These stripped electrons are used to generate the energy in oxidative phosphorylation that is needed to: -Actively transport H+ into the intermembrane space -Actively transport NAD+ into the intermembrane space -Turn on ATP synthase -Allow H+ to diffuse down its concentration gradient into the mitochondrial matrix
