Interpretation:
The complex which is not the part of respirasome.
Concept introduction:
An electron transport chain (ETC) is the series of
Answer to Problem 1P
Option (b), complex II.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for correct option:
Option (b) is complex II. Respirasomes are the supramolecular compounds that are found in mitochondria. They are formed by the association of two or more protein complexes involved in the ETC. Complex I/III, complex I/III/IV, and complex III/IV respirasomes found in mitochondria. Complex II is found in free floating form and does form respirasome. Hence, this option is correct.
Reasons for incorrect options:
Option (a) is complex I. complex I forms respirasome with complex III and IV. Hence, this option is incorrect.
Option (c) is complex III. Complex III forms respirasome along with the complex I and the complex IV. Hence, this option is incorrect.
Option (d) is complex IV. Complex IV forms respirasome along with the complex I and the complex III. Hence, this option is incorrect.

- 1- ATP consider as an important molecule in metabolism, because : A) It is one of the four building blocks for DNA synthesis.B) It provides energy coupling between exergonic and endergonic reactions.C) Its terminal phosphate group contains a strong covalent bond that, when hydrolyzed, releases free energy.D) Its hydrolysis provides an input of free energy for exergonic reactions.E) Its terminal phosphate bond has higher energy than the other two. 2- How many ATP yield from complete oxidation of glucose to carbon dioxide and water: A) 38 B) 32C) 2D) 8E)24arrow_forwardA violation of the First Law? The complete combustion of glucose to CO 2 and H 2 O yields 30 ATP, as shown in Table 18.4 . However, the synthesis of glucose requires only 18 ATP. How is it possible that glucose synthesis from CO 2 and H 2 O requires only 18 ATP , but combustion to CO 2 and H 2 O yields 30 ATP?
