Question

Transcribed Image Text:31
Think about the average yield of ATP in eukaryotic cells. Is it stable or variable?
The yield is variable because the demand for the products is variable. ATP isn't always required, so there are time when the cell takes break to reserve sugars.
The yield is steady because the enzymes and complexes used in the process are completely dedicated to cellular respiration, therefore, the process runs
smoothly from start to finish every time. There are not often hang ups, fits, and starts as the products progress.
The yield is variable because the enzymes and complexes used in the process are not completely dedicated to cellular respiration, therefore, the process
doesn't run smoothly from start to finish every time. There are often hang ups, fits, and starts as the products progress.

- Having now learned how to conduct basic cell culture, you are ready to complete your first experiments. Below is a portion of the respiration pathway in O.Extremus in which electrons are transferred from NADH to O2; the energy of this reaction is coupled to the pumping of H+, and ultimately ATP production. O.Extremus displays abnormally high activity levels of an enzyme called ATPase. This results in increased hydrolysis of ATP to ADP and later AMP. What effect would this have on the overall metabolic rate in these cells? Explain your reasoning.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about the aerobic respiration of a molecule of glucose is FALSE? O It requires pathways and membrane complexes in both the cytosol and mitochondria in eukaryotes. O 34 molecules of ATP are generated by oxidative phosphorylation. O It requires pathways and membrane complexes in the cytosol and plasma membrane in prokaryotes. O It can generate 38 molecules of ATP in prokaryotes. O 12 molecules of ATP are generated by substrate-level phosphorylation.arrow_forwardAn anaerobic prokaryotic cell is able to generate a maximum of how many molecules of ATP from the catabolism of one glucose molecule into two molecules of ethanol? 2 molecules of ATP 4 molecules of ATP 6 molecules of ATP 30 molecules of ATP 32 molecules of ATParrow_forward

Mustration of a mitochondrion Which of the following best describes the relationship between the structure and function of the mitochondrion? A B с D The shape of the mitochondrion Increases its material-exchange efficiency by maximiz ing its overall volume relative to its surface area. The double-membrane structure of the mitochondrion allows it to maintain its relatively acidic environment in which nutrients can be digested. The folds of the mitochondrion Inner membrane increase its material-exchange effi- ciency by maximizing its surface area relative to its volume. The specific structure of the mitochondrion Inner membrane allows it to correctly guide the folding of proteins into their functional shape.arrow_forwardCellular respiration is a very challenging topic to learn. Instead of asking you many detailed questions about the process, I would rather you show me that you understand the big picture. Why is it necessary for all organisms to do cellular respiration? It doesn't matter if you are a top tier consumer like you and I or a simple decomposing yeast, all organisms must do some sort of cellular respiration. You can answer this by describing the overall purpose and outcome of cellular respiration. You are not required to get into minute details. I DELLarrow_forward
- 2C. A “pulse-chase" experiment using "C-labeled glucose can be carried out on a yeast extract that is maintained under strictly anaerobic conditions. The experiment consists of incubating a small amount of "C-labeled substrate (the pulse) with the yeast extract just long enough for each intermediate in the fermentation pathway to become labeled. The label is then “chased" through the pathway by the addition of excess unlabeled glucose. The chase effectively prevents any further entry of labeled glucose into the pathway. 2 ADP 2 ATP Glucose ---> CH3 2 NAD* 2 NADH 2 Pyruvate H H H-C-OH C=0 CH3 CH3 2 co, 2 Ethanol 2 Acetylaldehyde (1) If [1-"C]glucose (glucose labeled at C-1 with "C) is used as a substrate, will there be any "C in the product (ii) Lactic acid is the final fermentation product in vertebrates, while ethanol is the final fermentation product in yeast.

Synthesizing sucrose is endergonic and so not spontaneous. Onerole of ATP is to facilitate reactions that would not occur spontaneously. The threephosphate groups are electron rich and tend to repel each other. Therefore, ATP is a bitlike a compressed spring, ready to kick off one phosphate group releasing energy.Consider: Fructose + glucose --> Sucrose delta G= 6.4 kcal/mol ATP --> ADP + Pi delta G= -7.3 kcal/mol a. Draw a simple energy diagram (including the relative energy of the reactants andproducts) that shows why the sucrose synthesis reaction doesn’t occur spontaneously. b.
