- 20. Energy harvest. What is the yield of ATP when each of the following substrates is completely oxidized to CO₂ by a mammalian cell homogenate? Assume that glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation are fully active.

What constitutes the active site of an enzyme? What are the turnover number (kcat), the Michaelis constant (Km), and the maximal velocity (Vmax) of an enzyme? The kcat (catalytic rate constant) for carbonic anhydrase is 5 × 105 molecules per second. This is a “rate constant,” but not a “rate.” What is the difference? By what oncentration would you multiply this rate constant in order to determine an actual rate of prod- uct formation (V)? Under what circumstances would this rate become equal to the maximal velocity (Vmax) of the enzyme?arrow_forwardChemiosmosis. ATP synthesis in chloroplasts is usually light dependent; it does not happen in the dark. When researchers shifted isolated chloroplasts from a low pH solution to a more alkaline (higher pH) solution, ATP synthesis occurred even in the absence of light! This was an experiment used to support the chemiosmosis mechanism of ATP formation in chloroplasts. Why? What would happen if the isolated chloroplasts were shifted to a lower pH solution? What would be the results if the above experiments were performed in the presence of light? If these experiments were performed in mitochondria instead of chloroplasts, what results would we expect?arrow_forward
