Chapter 18, Problem 36P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The symptoms in a person whose mitochondria oxidize NADH irrespective of the number of ADP molecules present.

Concept introduction:

P/O ratio (phosphate/oxygen ratio) determines the amount of ATP produced by the transfer of electrons during the electron transport chain, that ends with the acceptance of electrons by oxygen molecule. P/O ratio is dependent on number of hydrogen atoms that transport across the mitochondrial membrane.

True or false 1. H+ ions generated by the reactions in the electron transport chain, as well as H+ ions present in the matrix of the mitochondria are pumped across the inner mitochondrial membrane into the intermembrane space at three different sites. 2. The electron transport chain is a multistep process that relies on five enzyme systems, as well as mobile electron carriers. 3. Energy released from H+ movement in the electron transport chain fuels phosphorylation. 4. The convertion of Fe3+ to Fe2+ in the electron chain is an example Fe3+ acting as an oxidizing agent. 5. The final stage of Electron Transport Chan is an anaerobic process.
can be 9. Compartmentation in ß Oxidation Free palmitate is activated to its coenzyme A derivative (palmitoyl-CoA) in the cytosol before oxidized in the mitochondrion. If palmitate and [ ¹4C]coenzyme A are added to a liver homogenate, palmitoyl-CoA isolated from the cytosolic fraction is radioactive, but that isolated from the mitochondrial fraction is not. Explain.
