Chapter 18, Problem 1P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The complex which is not the part of respirasome.

Concept introduction:

An electron transport chain (ETC) is the series of redox reactions that involves the transfer of electrons from electron donors to electron acceptors. This transfer of electrons is coupled with the proton transfer (H+) across the membrane. This then creates the electrochemical gradient resulting in the formation of ATP.

Expert Solution & Answer

Answer to Problem 1P

Option (b), complex II.

Explanation of Solution

Reason for correct option:

Option (b) is complex II. Respirasomes are the supramolecular compounds that are found in mitochondria. They are formed by the association of two or more protein complexes involved in the ETC. Complex I/III, complex I/III/IV, and complex III/IV respirasomes found in mitochondria. Complex II is found in free floating form and does form respirasome. Hence, this option is correct.

Conclusion

Reasons for incorrect options:

Option (a) is complex I. complex I forms respirasome with complex III and IV. Hence, this option is incorrect.

Option (c) is complex III. Complex III forms respirasome along with the complex I and the complex IV. Hence, this option is incorrect.

Option (d) is complex IV. Complex IV forms respirasome along with the complex I and the complex III. Hence, this option is incorrect.

goes. In order to summarize Cellular Respiration reactions, draw FIVE big boxes in a line down the middle of your page. Write 1) Glycolysis, 2) Pyruvate Oxidation, 3) Citric Acid Cycle, 4) Electron Transport Chain, and 5) Chemiosmosis inside these boxes. Below each process name write WHERE it occurs. Make arrows going in and out of each box. Write IN and OUT on top of the page above the arrows. Each box represent multistep processes. You are focusing on the INPUTS and OUTPUTS. A. First focus on the flow of ENERGY. For each box write the INPUT and OUTPUT – the molecule(s) or form that contain the potential energy. B. Next, in a different color of ink (or highlighter) focus on the flow of ELECTRONS. For each box write the molecule(s) that carry the electrons from which you are harnessing energy. C. And finally, in a third color of ink (or highlighter) focus on the flow of CARBON. For each box write the carbon molecule (if any) from which you are harnessing energy.
Fo-F1 ATPase. The energy for ATP synthesis from ADP and Pi is provided by the downhill transport of protons through the rotary FoF1 ATP synthase (lecture 22).   The enzyme has 3 a-b and 12 ‘c’ subunits. The mitochondrion maintains Df=180 mV (negative inside), pHin = 8, pHout=7, [Pi] = 3 mM and ADP is present as well. How much energy is available (from the proton electrochemical gradient) for ATP synthesis under these conditions (in kJ/mol)?                                                                                                                  What [ATP]/[ADP] ratio will be established at steady-state under these conditions?                                                                                                                                                What would be the [ATP]/[ADP] ratio if the enzyme had only 9 ‘c’ subunits? Remember that full revolution of the crank (gamma subunit) produces 3 ATP.
