Chapter 5, Problem 18CT
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The amount of molecules that would be produced if the Entner- Doudoroff pathway were used instead of the Embden- Meyerhof glycolysis.
Introduction:
The Entner-Doudoroff pathway includes the enzymes which catalyze the reactions in the same pathway. It yields ATP, NADP, and NADH. The Embden-Meyerhof glycolysis pathway yields only ATP and NADP molecules.

All the dehydrogenases of glycolysis and the citric acid cycle use NAD+ (E°' for NAD+/NADH is -0.32 V) as the electron acceptor, except succinate dehydrogenase, which uses covalently bound FAD (E°' for FAD/FADH2 is +0.050 V). Suggest why FAD is a more appropriate electron acceptor than NAD+ in the dehydrogenation of succinate, based on the E°' values of fumarate/succinate (E°' = +0.031 V)
All the dehydrogenases of glycolysis and the citric acid cycle use NAD+ (?′°E′° for NAD+/NADH is −0.32 V−0.32 V) as electron acceptor except succinate dehydrogenase, which uses covalently‑bound FAD (?′°E′° for FAD/FADH2 in this enzyme is 0.050 V).0.050 V).

How many turns of the cycle are required to release all of the the14C-label as CO2?

- Determine the ATP production of glucose catabolism by glycolysis and Krebs Cycle using the following information: 1. Glycolysis: Net 2 ATP, 2 NADH + H+2. Pyruvate --> acetyl CoA: Produces 2 NADH + H+/glucose3. Krebs Cycle --> 2 FADH2 + 2 ATP + 6 NADH + H+/glucose 2.5 ATP are produced/NADH + H+ delivered electron to the electron transport system1.5 ATP are produced/FADH2 delivered electron to the electron transport systemarrow_forwardAlthough both hexokinase and phosphofructokinase catalyze irreversible steps in glycolysis and the hexokinase-catalyzed step is first, phosphofructokinase is nonetheless the pacemaker of glycolysis. What does this information tell you about the fate of the glucose 6- phosphate formed by hexokinase?arrow_forwardSome anaerobic bacteria use alternative pathways for glucose catabolism that convert glucose to acetate rather than to pyruvate. Shown below is one possible metabolic pathway. The first part of this pathway (glucose to fructose-1,6-bisphosphate) is identical to the glycolytic pathway. In the second part of the alternative pathway, Enzymes 1–6 all have mechanisms/ activities analogous t enzymes in glycolysis. Note that there are two C¬C bond cleavage reactions in this new pathway: A → B + C (Enzyme 1) and C → B + D. All the steps where ATP is consumed or generated have been shown; however, the addition or loss of NAD+/NADH, Pi , H2O, or H+ has not been shown explicitly.
