- How much fat (in grams) would the body have to burn to produce the daily minimum requirement of 40 kg ATP from ADP and phosphate? Assume that: 1. The fat is metabolized completely to water and carbon dioxide. 2. The energy that is released can be used entirely for ATP production. 3. Complete oxidation of 1 g of fat to water and CO2 releases 9 kcal or 37 kJ. 4. The Delta G for ATP hydrolysis is -30.5 kJ/mol. You will have to look up one more value online to answer this question, but you do not need to know anything about lipid metabolism. A) approx. 16 to 17 g of fat B) approx. 65 to 66 g of fat C) approx 22 to 23 kg of fat D) approx. 267 to 268 g of fat E) approx. 5 to 6 kg of fatarrow_forwardWhich of the following cellular concentrations would be likely to increase the rate of glycolysis? Low AMP levels High glucagon levels ✓Low fructose-2,6-bisphosphate levels High AMP levels High phosphoenolpyruvate levels Low ATP levelsarrow_forwardLactate dehydrogenase (LDH) plays an essential role in an exercising muscle, especially when the level of excursion surpasses the ability of circulatory systems ability to supply adequate oxygen. What is the main reason LDH is so important to the muscle under these conditions? It produces one mole of ATP via substrate level phosphorylation. It resupplies NAD+ to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase. It decreases pH thus decreasing the dissociation rate of oxygen from hemoglobin It produces NADH for energy while converting pyruvate into lactate. It removes excess lactic acid from the muscle to create pyruvate. Nextarrow_forward
- How many ATP equivalents would be generated or used by the metabolism of 2 oxaloacetate to glucose?arrow_forwardHow does the conversion of pyruvate to lactate take place in muscle?arrow_forwardChoose all of the following true statements. Hint: 6 statements are true. □ If an electron moves from an atom of higher electronegativity to an atom with lower electronegativity, energy is released. O Glycolysis occurs with or without oxygen present. Other biomolecules such as lipids, disaccharides, and proteins can enter the biochemical pathway of aerobic respiration just not directly into the first step of glycolysis. Molecules other than glucose can be broken down and used to build up ATP in aerobic respiration. Glycolysis occurs during both alcohol and lactic acid fermentation, producing 2 net ATP. The higher the electronegativity of an atom, the tighter it holds an electron and the lower its potential energy. Water is the final electron acceptor of the ETC in aerobic respiration. Each protein component of the ETC in aerobic respiration is more electronegative than the last.arrow_forward

The most important reaction involved in the reoxidation of NADH is: a. dihydroxyacetone phosphate → glycerol 3-phosphate b. glucose 6-phosphate → fructose 6-phosphate c. isocitrate → α-ketoglutarate d. oxaloacetate → malate e. pyruvate → lactatearrow_forwardWhich of the following products of the non-oxidative stage of PPP is an intermediate in the glycolysis pathway?
