Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The energy carrying product of oxidative phosphorylation should be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Oxidative phosphorylation: The production of
Adenosine triphosphate ATP: The main job of ATP is to store energy and release it when cell is in need of energy.
Electron transport chain
(b)
Interpretation:
The product other than the energy carrying product released from oxidative phosphorylation should be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Oxidative phosphorylation: The production of
Electron transport chain

- Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms carry out some form of glycolysis. How does ha fact support or not support the assertion that glycolysis is one of the oldest metabolic pathways?arrow_forwardWhat is the significance of the ΔG°’ value of each step of Glycolysis? Why do some values classify reactions as irreversible and others as easily reversible?arrow_forwardAt what point in glycolysis are all the reactions considered doubled?arrow_forward
- In which reaction does an intermediate pathway become oxidized? Which step consists of a phosphorylation reaction in which ATP is the phosphate source?arrow_forwardWhat are the initial reactants of Oxidative Phosphorylation?arrow_forwardIn oxidative phosphorylation, how many molecules of ATP are produced per molecule of NADH in the mitochondrion?arrow_forward
- What steps in glycolysis generate substrate-level phosphorylation, and how many ATP molecules are generated in this way in this pathway? How does the generation of ATP by substrate-level phosphorylation differ from ATP generation by oxidative phosphorylation?arrow_forwardWhich reactions of glycolysis can be reversed? Which are irreversible? What is the significance of the metabolically irreversible reactions?arrow_forwardOf the 36 molecules of ATP produced by the complete metabolism of glucose, how many are produced directly in glycolysis alone, that is, before the common pathway?arrow_forward
- Where does oxidative phosphorylation take place and what materials are the reactants and the products in this process?arrow_forwardIn the krebs cycle, if the enzyme used succinate dehydrogenase used NAD+ as the oxidizing agent, what impact would it have on the overall production of ATP in the call?arrow_forwardIn an oxidation-reduction reaction, what happens to the chemical that is oxidized? What happens to the chemical that is reduced?arrow_forward
