2. Mutations in the genes that encode certain mitochondrial proteins are associated with a high incidence of sometype of cancer. How might defective mitochondria lead to cancer?
WHAT IF? In the absence of O2, as in question 1, whatdo you think would happen if you decreased the pH ofthe intermembrane space of the mitochondrion? Explainyour answer
All mutations in mitochondrial genes ultimately affect(whether directly or indirectly) the key function ofmitochondria, which is to make ATP. Why then domutations in different genes cause different diseases,with specific symptoms? (Note: The answer to thisquestion is not known, but your speculations will helpyou think about the material in this chapter.)29. How could researchers have determined that

- Wheeler and Mathews (J. Biol. Chem. 287:31218–31222 (2012)) reported the NAD+ and NADH concentrations in yeast mitochondria as 20 mM and 0.3 mM, respectively. Consider the malate dehydrogenase reaction, which is part of the citric acid cycle: malate + NAD+ → oxaloacetate + NADH + H+ ∆G°′ = +29.7 kJ/mol If malate concentration in yeast mitochondria is 0.4 mM, what is the maximum concentration of oxaloacetate needed to make the reaction exergonic at pH 7.0 and 37 °C?arrow_forwardWHAT IF? A classmate proposes that mitochondria andchloroplasts should be classified in the endomembranesystem. Argue against the proposal.arrow_forwardQ. Because of the high energy demands related to swimming at depth, belugas possess very large specialized mitochondria. Given your knowledge of evolution and the theory of endosymbiosis, which hypothesis best explains the presence of these special mitochondria in the muscle cells of these whales? A. the beluga's mitochondria were originally chloroplasts B. the lineage leading to belugas evolved specialized mitochondria after the original endosymbiotic event C. whale muscle cells engulfed the special mitochondria 100,000 years ago during the evolution of the first whales and lost mitochondria from the original endosymbiotic event D. None of these answers are plausiblearrow_forward

Explain how sugars produced during photosynthesis are moved from leaves to fruit.arrow_forwardMitochondria are critical for normal metabolism. From which parent did each human being’s original mitochondria come from at conception? In Luft’s syndrome the mitochondria are not producing sufficient amounts of ATP. What series of reactions could be most responsible for the deficiency? What are some other conditions that are thought to involve mitochondrial malfunction?

How does this help the mitochondrion produce ATP? a) This movement of protons sets up the electrochemical gradient that drives ATP synthesis in the mitochondrion. b) The protons pick up electrons from the electron transport chain on their way through the inner mitochondrial membrane c) The protons receive electrons from the NAD+ and FAD that were accepted in glycolysis ad the citric acid cycle d) The protons are transferred to oxygen in an energy-releasing reactionarrow_forward
- Rationalize why 4 (and not 5 or 10) protons are transferred from inside to outside of the mitochondrial inner membrane by the Complex I? (Hint: use redox potential of NADH and Ubiquinone, mitochondrial membrane pH =0.75 units, and the potential difference across the inner mitochondrial membrane = 0.15V) For the purpose of energy utilization, what are the advantages of generating energy from lipids as compared to that of carbohydrates? Justify by chemical reason.arrow_forwardA central tenet in mitochondrial bioenergetics is that exergonic electron transfer drives the creation of an electrical potential () across the inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM). This is entirely true. Another tenet of mitochondrial bioenergetics, that you will read everywhere, is that this electrical potential is created by three proton pumps, Complexes I, III and IV. This is less true. A proton pump is this: It’s a protein that binds a proton from one side of a membrane, translocates that very proton across the membrane, through the protein, and ejects it into solution on the other side of the membrane. Complex I is a proton pump, but we did not discuss complex I. Complex III is NOT a proton pump, yet it creates electrical potential across the IMM. It is an electron/proton charge separation device. Complex IV is both types of these devices. Fifty percent of the electrical potential that complex IV creates is as a proton pump. But, 50% of the electrical potential that complex IV…arrow_forwardSelect all that apply: As a consequence of decomposition of one molecule of glucose during glycolysis, ________ a. four ionic compounds of NAD+ are reduced in the citrate cycle b. four molecules of CO2 are produced c. much energy has been consumed by endergonic reactions d.

- Examine Figure 11-13. Where are the electron carriers of the mitochondrial electron transport chain located— in the matrix, the membrane, or in the crista lumen? As they carry electrons, some of them also deposit protons (H+). Are the protons deposited in the matrix or in the crista lumen?arrow_forwardIn the 1930’s DNP was given to people to lose weight. DNP makes the mitochondrial membrane leaky to hydrogen ions. Why might this cause one to lose weight? Why would this cause death?
