Concept explainers
Interpretation: To determine the name of the enzyme that catalyzes ATP production during oxidative phosphorylation.
Concept introduction: Coupled reactions are the pair of biochemical reactions that occur simultaneously in a system and the energy released by one reaction is utilized by another reaction to occur. Oxidative phosphorylation and oxidation reaction of the electron transport chain is an example of a coupled system.
Oxidative phosphorylation is the biochemical process for the synthesis of ATP from ADP and
Electron transport chain is a sequence of biochemical reactions in which electrons and hydrogen atoms from the citric acid cycle are transferred to various intermediate carriers and finally reacts with molecular oxygen to form a water molecule.

- Specify, by name and by number present, the structural subunits present in an ATP molecule.arrow_forwardWhat is the general role of enzymes in the human body?arrow_forwardGlycerol kinase catalyzes the phosphorylation of glycerol from ATP, yielding glycerol-3-phosphate and ADP. The standard state free energy for hydrolysis of glycerol-3- phosphate is -9.20 kj/mol and for the hydrolysis of ATP is-30.5 kJ/mol. Calculate the standard-state free energy change and equilibrium constant for the glycerol kinase reaction at 37 *C.

- What is the function of the enzyme succinate dehydrogenase?arrow_forwardFor a given acid HA, it was determined that at pH 6.0 the concentration of the conjugate base [A] was 0.075 M and the acid [HA] was 0.025 M. What percent of this acid is ionized at pH 6.0? What is the pKa of this acid? What pH would this acid be 50% lonized?arrow_forwardThe enzyme that catalyzes this reaction is a(n) H 1000 CH3 Acetaldehyde Otransferase NADH + H+ ligase Olyase oxidoreductase hydrolase alcohol dehydrogenase NAD+ OH CH2 CH3 Ethanolarrow_forward
- Which metabolic pathway is directly responsible for the production of the most ATP molecules?arrow_forwardWhich of the following is true about substrate level phosphorylation and oxidative phosphorylation? both substrate level phosphorylation and oxidative phosphorylation produce ATP as a product. substrate level phosphorylations always uses inorganic phosphate as a substrate. substrate level phosphorylations occur in the absence of molecular oxygen. Oxidative phosphorylation requires molecular oxygen substrate level phosphorylations do not take place in the mitochondria.arrow_forward
