(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?

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
The process of producing energy particularly ATP by oxidation of nutrients with the help of enzymes by the living cell is called Oxidative phosphorylation. I most of eukaryotes, oxidative phosphorylation occurs in mitochondria.

- Intramitochondrial ATP concentrations are about 5 mM, and phos- phate concentration is about 10 mM. If ADP is five times more abundant than AMP, calculate the molar concentrations of ADP and AMP at an energy charge of 0.85. Calculate AG for ATP hydrolysis at 37 °C under these conditions. The energy charge is the concentra- tion of ATP plus half the concentration of ADP divided by the total adenine nucleotide concentration: [ATP] + 1/2[ADP] [ATP] + [ADP] + [AMP]arrow_forwardCitrate and isocitrate are interconverted via the enzyme aconitase: The standard free energy change for this reaction is +6.7 kJ/mol. In my pet llama's mitochondria, the free energy change was measured to be +0.8 kJ/mol. (No llamas were harmed in this experiment!) a.

Calculate the physiological DG of the reaction shown below at 37°C, as it occurs in the cytosol ofneurons, with phosphocreatine at 4.7 mM, creatine at 1.0 mM, ADP at 0.73 mM, and ATP at 2.6mM. The standard free energy change for the overall reaction is –12.5 kJ/mol. Phosphocreatine + ADP ® creatine + ATP b. The enzyme phosphoglucomutase catalyzes the conversion of glucose 1-phosphate to glucose6-phosphate. Calculate the standard free energy change of this reaction if incubation of 20 mMglucose 1-phosphate (no glucose-6 phosphate initially present) yields a final equilibrium mixtureof 1.0 mM glucose 1-phosphate and 19 mM glucose 6-phosphate at 25°C and pH 7.0. c.

- Biochemists working with isolated mitochondria recognize five energy "states" of mitochondria, depending on the presence or absence of essential substrates for respiration-O, ADP, oxidizable substrates, and so forth. The characteristics of each state are: state 1: mitochondria alone (in buffer containing P;) state 2: mitochondria + substrate, but respiration low due to lack of ADParrow_forward7) The following questions apply to glycolysis (figure 3-41 on page 79 of the 12th edition), the Krebs cycle (figure 3-44 on page 82) and to oxidative phosphorylation (figure 3-45 on page 84).
