Which is the source of energy for the synthesis of ATP in mitochondria? Select the single best answer. O O O the oxidation of NADH and FADH2 the oxidation of pyruvate to acetyl CoA the intermembrane compartment of the mitochondria the oxidation of a variety of fuel molecules, such as carbohydrates, the skeletons of amino acids, and fatty acids

How many net ATPs would be produced if the following fatty acid is completely oxidized intocarbon dioxides and water? 94.5 96.5 98 98.5 108

The energy stored in one molecule of NADH is used to synthesize how many molecules of ATP?

The bodies of humans and other mammals store triglycerides in two kinds of tissue, which are called white and brown fat. The main function of white fat is to store triglycerides for energy. Brown tissue has more mitochondria than white tissue, and these are used to generate body heat in an unusual process.   Mitochondria in brown fat make thermogenin, a protein that uncouples ATP synthesis from mitochondrial electron transfer chains. Thermogenin is a transport protein that allows hydrogen ions to move directly across the inner mitochondrial membrane instead of through ATP synthase. Since ATP synthase isn't activated, these "leaky" membranes produce less ATP. However, electrons still pass through electron transfer chains, and this process generates heat.   In 2015, Daniele Barbato and his colleagues investigated the effect of a high-fat diet on brown fat mitochondrial function in mice. They maintained an experimental group of mice on a high-fat diet (HFD, 60% fat), and a control group…

Like many fruits, apples contain not only fructose and glucose, but also sucrose, a dimerof fructose and glucose. 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. How could having these two reactions occur at the same time help with sucroseproduction? c. Draw the energy diagram that shows all the reactants and products for the combinedreactions. d. What is delta G for the combined reactions? e. Name a few of the biological processes in the body that…

Why is the inner membrane of the mitochondria folded?   increases volume   increases surface area   increases area   increases diameter

Why are NADH and FADH2 used as electron carriers? Where do they come from in cell and where do they go? When/where are they reduced and when/where are they oxidized? Which energy carrier provides more energy during cellular respiration and why?   I just need the answer to the last question in bold

Use the following information to answer the next question Most of the ATP molecules made by aerobic cellular respiration are synthesized by oxidative phosphorylation. Oxidative phosphorylation is made up of two closely connected components: the electron transport chain and chemiosmosis. The electron transport chain is a series of membrane-embedded protein carriers and proton pumps. Chemiosmosis involves ATP synthase, which is both an ion channel and an enzyme. The components of oxidative phosphorylation are shown below. Oxidative Phosphorylation Electron Transport Chain Chemiosmosis H+ H+ H+ H+ ATP synthase III Cyt e IV 34. The ATP synthase protein complex involved in chemiosmosis uses energy released from the oxidation of NADH and FADH2 to create an H* concentration gradient across the membrane reduction of NADH and FADH2 to create an H* concentration gradient across the membrane passive transport of H* ions across the membrane to make ATP active transport of H* ions across the…
