Normally, the flow of electrons to O2 is tightlylinked to the production of ATP via the electrochemicalgradient. If ATP synthase is inhibited, for example, elec-trons do not flow down the electron-transport chain andrespiration ceases. Since the 1940s, several substances—such as 2,4-dinitrophenol—have been known to uncou-ple electron flow from ATP synthesis. Dinitrophenol wasonce prescribed as a diet drug to aid in weight loss. Howwould an uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation pro-mote weight loss? Why do you suppose dinitrophenol isno longer prescribed?
Using the action spectrum for photosynthesis, determinewhat wavelengths of light appear to be optimal forphotosynthesis. [Hint: Refer to the Biochemistry inPerspective essay entitled Photosynthetic Studies atthe companion website, www.oup.com/us/mckee.]
What is anaerobic respiration? How many types are there? Explain one of them withthe help of diagram.
NADH can eventually lead to the formation of 3 or 5 ATP molecules. What processdetermines how many ATP molecules are formed? Explain briefly.
Propose that you have discovered a new ATP synthase from the mitochondrion of an organism onthe planet X. You found that the mitochondrion from this newly discovered organism has exactly thesame electron transport chain as human beings. In addition, this newly discovered ATP synthase hassimilar subunit composition and arrangements as human beings, excepting that such newlydiscovered ATP synthase contain 6 c-subunits. Theoretically, the P/O ratio for the oxidation of FADH2 to water in this organism is: 1 1.5 2 2.5 3 3.5 None of the above Need more information Which statement is NOT true about the transport of ATP across the inner mitochondrial membraneon its way to the cytosol? The transport causes the loss of a net charge of -1 in the matrix. It is accomplished by adenine nucleotide translocase. The same enzyme that transports ATP also transport ADP in the opposite direction. It is complexed with Mg2+ to reduce the draw on the electrical part of the protonmotive force.
In biochemistry, the exergonic process ofconverting glucose and oxygen to carbon dioxide and water in aerobic metabolism can be considered the reverse of photosynthesis,in which carbon dioxide and water are converted to glucose andoxygen. Do you expect both processes to be exergonic, both endergonic, or one exergonic and one endergonic? Why? Would youexpect both processes to take place in the same way? Why?

Given the overall equation for respiration (C6H12O6 + 6O2 6CO2 + 6H2O), in which step(s) in the respiratory pathway is/are each of the reactants used up and each of the products made? Photosynthetic reactions require NADPH while NADH is involved in aerobic respiration. These two molecules regulate both the biosynthetic and the catabolic activity of the cell. Explain how they do this. Note that NAD+ kinase phosphorylates NAD+ to produce NADPH+.
Similar to the activity in our muscle cells, certain bacteria canutilize sugars by aerobic cellular respiration (which requiresoxygen) or by fermentation (which does not). However, like musclecells, these bacteria only use fermentation when oxygen is notavailable. Why is aerobic respiration preferable? What is thespecific role of oxygen in this process?
