To propose:

The larger ratio of (ATP)/(ADP)(Pi) is calculated when the ATP synthesis occurs.

Introduction:

The enzyme of ATP synthase produces the ATP (adenosine triphosphate) which the molecule that helps in storing the energy. In all organisms this ATP is used as the energy currency of cells.

Efficiency of ATP Production in Muscle: The transformation of glucose to lactate in myocytes releases only about 7% of the free energy released when glucose is completely oxidized to CO2 and H2O. Does this mean that anaerobic glycolysis in muscle is a wasteful use of glucose? Explain.
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.
