- REFLECT AND APPLY Two biochemistry students are about to use mitochondria isolated from rat liver for an experiment on oxidative phosphorylation. The directions for the experiment specify addition of purified cytochrome c from any source to the reaction mixture. Why is the added cytochrome c needed? Why does the source not have to be the same as that of the mitochondria?arrow_forwardREFLECT AND APPLY The malate-aspartate shuttle yields about 2.5 moles of ATP for each mole of cytosolic NADH. Why does nature use the glycerol-phosphate shuttle, which yields only about 1.5 moles of ATP?arrow_forwardREFLECT AND APPLLY High levels of glucose-6-phosphate inhibit glycolysis.

- REFLECT AND APPLY In metabolism, glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) can be used for glycogen synthesis or for glycolysis, among other fates. What does it cost, in terms of ATP equivalents, to store G6P as glycogen, rather than to use it for energy in glycolysis? Hint: The branched structure of glycogen leads to 90% of glucose residues being released as glucose-1-phosphate and 10% as glucose.arrow_forwardREFLECT AND APPLY In biochemistry, the exergonic process of converting glucose and oxygen to carbon dioxide and water in aerobic metabolism can be considered the reverse of photosynthesis, in which carbon dioxide and water are converted to glucose and oxygen. Do you expect both processes to be exergonic, both endergonic, or one exergonic and one endergonic? Why? Would you expect both processes to take place in the same way? Why?arrow_forwardMATHEMATICAL Calculate the ATP yield for the complete oxidation of one molecule of palmitic acid (16 carbons).
