Question
Chapter 7, Problem 2DAA
Summary Introduction
To determine: The group in which the oxygen consumption per mitochondrion was greatest.
Concept introduction:
Triglycerides are a type of fat molecules. There are two types of tissues that stores the fat molecules: white fat and brown fat. White fat generates energy in the form of ATP. Brown fat generates energy as well as heat. The heat is generated due to the presence of thermogenin, a transport protein in the inner mitochondrial membrane that allows the hydrogen ions to move across it.

Additional information: ATP production by the ETC and ATP Synthase per glucose varies somewhat depending on the energy required to move NADH into the mitochondria and other energy uses for the hydrogen-ion gradient. Additional questions: 1.) How many ATP's are generally yielded by oxidative phosphorylation from the catabolism of one glucose? 2.) Summarize the total ATP's obtained from a single molecule of glucose, from start to finish?
