Concept explainers
To analyze: The allosteric regulation of the enzyme phosphofructokinase by ATP and related molecules during glycolysis and to find whether the ATP that is considered to be allosteric regulator inhibits or stimulates the activity of the enzyme phosphofructokinase.
Concept introduction:
The enzyme phosphofructokinase plays its role in the most important regulatory step (energy investment step) of glycolysis. It converts fructose-6 phosphate to fructose-1,6 bisphosphate. The regulation of phosphofructokinase is said to be allosteric due to the binding of an effector molecule other than the enzyme's active site. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is known as the allosteric regulator for this enzyme in this step of glycolysis.

- Q36. The picture below shows a preparation of isolated thylakoid membranes suspended in a buffer at pH 8. The preparation is in complete darkness. Which of the following is required in order for the thylakoids to generate ATP? A. Addition of ADP and phosphate to the buffer. B. Incubation in the light plus ADP and phosphate. C. Incubation in the light plus addition of ADP, phosphate and NADP+. D. Isolated thylakoid membranes are not able to synthesize ATP.arrow_forwardPls help ASAP, thanks!

- Give typed full explanation Diagram the path of electron flow from NADH to the final electron acceptor during oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria. For each electron carrier, indicate whether only electrons or both electrons and protons, are accepted/donated by that carrier. B) What would happen to this electron flow and what are the resulting consequences if myxothiazol is added to actively respiring mitochondria using succinate as an electron donor? C) Would you predict ubiquinone reduction to ubiquinol would be more favored at acidic pH or alkaline pH? Why?

Although there are many differences, what do these electron transport chains have in common? In both, the electron donor (water in the case of photosynthesis, NADH in the case of respiration) is a strong reducing agent In both, the proteins which shuttle the electrons (Plastoquinone in photosynthesis, Ubiquinone in the case of respiration) are oxidized and reduced In both, electrons move spontaneously from high to low redox potential.
