- Fo-F1 ATPase. The energy for ATP synthesis from ADP and Pi is provided by the downhill transport of protons through the rotary FoF1 ATP synthase . The enzyme has 3 alpha-beta and 12 ‘c’ subunits. The mitochondrion maintains change in membrane potential=180 mV (negative inside), pHin = 8, pHout=7, [Pi] = 3 mM and ADP is present as well. . What [ATP]/[ADP] ratio will be established at steady-state under these conditions? What would be the [ATP]/[ADP] ratio if the enzyme had only 9 ‘c’ subunits? full revolution of the crank (gamma subunit) produces 3 ATP.arrow_forwardNo free lunch. Explain why maintaining a high concentration of CO2 CO2 in the bundle-sheath cells of C4C4 plants is an example of active transport. How much ATP is required per CO2CO2 to maintain a high concentration of CO2CO2 in the bundle-sheath cells of C4C4 plants?arrow_forwardButch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Glutamate dehydrogenase requires which of the following cofactors: a. NAD+/NADP+NAD*/NADP+ b. Pyridoxal phosphate c. Thiamine pyrophosphate d. Biopterinarrow_forward

This is an example of which (4.1) KU process (a) hydrolysis (b) dehydration (c) dehydration synthesis (condensation) (d) reduction If y think the statarrow_forwardThe tortoise and the hare. Why is the regulation of phosphofructokinase by energy charge not as important in the liver as it is in muscle?arrow_forward47. No exchange. Mice that completely lack ATP-ADP translocase (ANT- /ANT - ) can be made by using the knockout technique. Remarkably, these mice are viable but have the following pathological conditions: (1) high serum levels of lactate, alanine, and succinate; (2) little electron transport; and (3) a six- to eightfold increase in the level of mitochondrial H2O2 compared with that in normal mice. Provide a possible biochemical explanation for each of these conditions.arrow_forward

- Help is appreciated. Think of an unusual eukaryotic species in which its ATP synthase has 12 subunits for its c ring. How many ATP molecules can be produced per pair of electrons that traverse the respiratory chian starting at Complex I? A. 2 ATP/2e- B. 1 ATP/2e- C. 0.5 ATP/2e- D. 1.5 ATP/2e- E. 3 ATP/2e-arrow_forwardATP yield. Each of the following molecules is processed by glycolysis to lactate. How much ATP is generated from each molecule?arrow_forward. Pyruvate can be processed under anaerobic conditions to ethanol (in yeast) or to lactate (in mammals), as shown.
