Question

How would the ATP yield per glucose molecule be different if enzyme specificity forced FADH2 to be used in place of NADH throughout aerobic metabolism?

Chemical pathways by which living things function, especially those that provide cellular energy, such as the transformation of energy from food into the energy of ATP. Metabolism also focuses on chemical pathways involving the synthesis of new biomolecules and the elimination of waste.

Table 9.2 shows that DGo’ for the aldolase reaction is large, and positive, yet the reaction proceeds in the forward direction. Using the metabolite concentrations in table 9.3, calculate the actual DG in the cell for the reaction to show that it is consistent with the value reported in table 9.2. Explain in words the strategy the cell uses to keep glycolysis moving in the forward direction (1-2 sentences).
In the absence of a proton gradient, ATP synthase rotates in reverse. Based upon your knowledge of the binding/exchange model, this would result in: Release of ADP + Pi by one subunit, stabilization of ADP + Pi by the second subunit and binding of ATP by the third subunit. Release of ATP by one subunit, stabilization of ATP by the second subunit and binding of ADP + Pi by a third subunit. Release of ATP by one subunit, release of ADP + Pi by the second subunit and binding of ATP by the third subunit. Binding of ATP to all three subunits. Release of ATP, ADP and Pi from all subunits
