To describe: An example in which an ion gradient is used to make ATP and another use for ion gradient.
Introduction: The transport of sodium and potassium ions across the membrane is an active transport process, which involves the hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to provide energy. The ion gradients maintained across the plasma membranes of most cells play a significant role in cellular energetic. Ion gradients are often either generated by the hydrolysis of ATP or used to make ATP by the phosphorylation of ADP.

- Saccharides: Using the following substrates, estimate the net ATP yield after glycolytic pathway, Kreb’s cycle and electron transport chain. Assume that the estimate for ATP yield per mole of NADH is 3 moles of ATP, while 1 mole of FADH2 is equivalent to 2 moles of ATP, and one mole of GTP is equivalent to one mole of ATP. Show all pertinent solutions and determine: a) ATP used, b) ATP produced, and c) Net ATP. Based on your solutions, rank the substrates based on increasing yield of ATP 1.

(b) Why does the Vmax of the muscle enzyme need to be larger than that of the liver enzyme?arrow_forwardLigand binding and response. The following question involves the ligand binding to a receptor and the receptor's response to that ligand. What ligand concentration would be required for a full agonist with a KD of 8 nM to achieve a response of 0.75?arrow_forward
- Frog poison. Batrachotoxin (BTX) is a steroidal alkaloid from the skin of Phyllobates terribilis, a poisonous Colombian frog (the source of the poison used on blowgun darts). In the presence of BTX, Na+Na* channels in an excised patch stay persistently open when the membrane is depolarized. They close when the membrane is repolarized. Which transition is blocked by BTX?arrow_forwardPlease ASAP. THankyou. Question 17 If you completely inhibit the Na+/K+ ATPase, which of the following would you most likely observe? Decrease in Na+/Ca++ exchanger activity The Nernst potential for K+ would become more positive Intracellular Na+ concentration would increase All of the abovearrow_forwardentation .

During a “fight or flight” situation, the release of epinephrine promotes glycogen breakdown in the liver, heart, and skeletal muscle. The end product of glycogen breakdown in the liver is glucose; the end product in skeletal muscle is pyruvate.
