Question

You are isolating  mitochondria from insect cells and incubating in a test tube with 0.005 M FADH2, 0.05 M ADP and 0.05 M Pi. Assuming, these 3 can enter mitochondria at no cost,no glucose/products of glucose metabolism remain in the isolated mitochondria, and oxygen is present. 

Part 1) If all expected reactions go to completion, how much ATP is expected formed? 

(0 M)(0.02 M) (0.03 M) (0.05 M) (0.1 M) (0.005 M) (0.01 M) (0.015 M) 

Part 2) The ratio of FADH2/FAD at completion of all expected reactions would be?

(2) (>>2) (0) (1) 

Part 3) After completion of all expected reactions, ratio of H ion concentration inside vs. outside the mitochondrial inner membrane should be?

 (<1) (~1) (>1)(0) 

Please provide brief explanation
