Question
Chapter 17, Problem 10P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The purpose of the remaining steps in the pyruvate dehydrogenase reaction cycle other than the formation of acetyl Co A.
Concept introduction:
Pyruvate dehydrogenase enzyme complex is required for the linking of glycolysis and TCA. It helps in the conversion of pyruvate into Acetyl CoA. Acetyl CoA then enters into the series of the citric acid cycle.

ATP accounting.
Consider 1 molecule of the sucrose (monomeric units: glucose and fructose) that will undergo complete oxidation.
a. Number of pyruvate molecules after glycolysis.b. Net ATP produced in glycolysis only (via substrate-level phosphorylation).c. Number of NADH produced using the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex reaction.d. Number of NADH and FADH2 produced from Krebs cycle.e. Net ATP produced (complete oxidation via Malate aspartate shuttle).
True or false:
F1 unit of ATP synthase is capable of synthesizing 3ATP molecules per a complete revolution. F1 unit can synthesize 4 or 5ATP molecules if the c subunit of F0 unit has more than 12 proton binding peptides.
Unlike Complex I inhibitors, Complex IV inhibitors can shut down the entire ETC.
True or False? Intermediates in the glycolysis pathway can be a source of raw material if the cell wants to construct biological molecules such as triglycerides or amino acids, but the citric acid cycle cannot be used this way.

- This is an application question. You are not expected to know anything about the regulation of pyruvate dehydrogenase. Cellular respiration is regulated at many points in the pathway. When ATP levels are high in the cell, NADH molecules accumulate and bind to pyruvate dehydrogenase (the enzyme complex involved in the oxidation of pyruvate) at a site other than the active site to prevent the conversion of pyruvate into acetyl-CoA.

Answer only d and e. ATP accounting. Consider 1 molecule of the sucrose (monomeric units: glucose and fructose) that will undergo complete oxidation. -Number of pyruvate molecules after glycolysis is 4.-Net ATP produced in glycolysis only (via substrate-level phosphorylation) is 2.-Number of NADH produced using the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex reaction is 1.

Group of answer choices The pentose phosphate pathway is used to produce NADPH for reductive biosynthesis in adipocytes. The pentose phosphate pathway allows for the entry of dietary pentose intermediates into the glycolytic pathway. The pentose phosphate pathway produces reduced molecules whose electrons may be shuttled to the mitochondria for oxidative phosphorylation. The pentose phosphate pathway allows for the conversion of hexoses into pentoses that may be used as precursors in the synthesis of nucleosides.arrow_forward
- This is the ATP accounting question. You are limited to the carbon in the following molecules: One xylulose 5-phosphate, One glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, One sedoheptulose 7-phosphate, 1 Oxaloacetate, and 3 carbon dioxide A) Disregard regulation completely regarding pathway activity, using only the enzymes of glycolysis, pentose phosphate pathway, and citric acid cycle, what is the maximum ATP one can generate with these molecules? B) Disregard regulation completely regarding pathway activity, using only the enzymes of glycolysis, Calvin- Benson-Bassham cycle, and citric acid cycle, what is the maximum ATP one can generate with these molecules (in this instance only, you also are given 3 ATP and note that you do NOT need to regenerate substrates for rubisco once you get through this enzyme).arrow_forwardtrue or false 1.
