Chapter 8.2, Problem 4C
Summary Introduction

To determine: The rate of oxidative phosphorylation if most of the adenosine diphosphate (ADP) in the cell were to become converted to adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Concept introduction: The process, in which ATP is formed due to the transfer of electrons from nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FADH2) to oxygen (O2) by a series of electron carries, is called as oxidative phosphorylation. This process occurs within the mitochondria.

Calculate how many ATP molecules a cell can harvest from a glucose molecule in the presence of oxygen and in its absence.
What does it mean to say that ATP is the “energy currency” of the cell? b) What type of energy does ATP represent? c) Where/what part of the molecule is energized? d) What is meant by the ATP cycle?
Explain how animals can generate ATP without oxygen. Given that anaerobic glycolysis is much less efficient than oxidative phosphorylation, why has anaerobic glycolysis not been discarded during animal evolution?
