Question
Chapter 8.2, Problem 4C
Summary Introduction
To determine: The rate of oxidative phosphorylation if most of the adenosine diphosphate (ADP) in the cell were to become converted to adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
Concept introduction: The process, in which ATP is formed due to the transfer of electrons from nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FADH2) to oxygen (O2) by a series of electron carries, is called as oxidative phosphorylation. This process occurs within the mitochondria.

Consider ten glucose molecules that enter a cell. How many ATP can be generated by the complete catabolism of these into CO2 and H2O? If all ten are first incorporated into glycogen, liberated from glycogen, and then fully catabolized into CO2 and H2O, does the ATP tally increase, decrease or stay the same? Consider that 1 UTP = 1 ATP. Explain. Describe the processes which produce ATP and provide a balanced equation of glucose, CO2, H2O and O2
Calculate the amount of ATP’s that will be formed during the oxidative phosphorylation process if: 46 NADH + H and 12 FADH + H is available .

(1-5) As the H+ ions move through the ATP synthase it'll provide the power to make the ATP synthase to turn. As it turns, a phosphate group is added to an ADP, forming a proton gradient-energy as ATP. With the help of a channel protein called ATP synthase, these H* ions are transferred back to the matrix. The electrons are passed to another electron carrier called cytochrome C (cyt C), which carries the = electrons to enzyme complex IV. Here, the last batch of H* ions are pumped into the intermembrane space. Enzyme complexes I and Il then transport the electrons through ubiquinone (Q), a mobile electron carrier. Q is reduced to QH, in the process and delivers the electrons to enzyme complex III. As this happens, more H* ions are pumped into the intermembrane space.

- For each of the following molecules determine how much ATP would be net from aerobic cellular respiration. Show your work. Which of the following produces the most energy? (a) Triglycerides are first digested into glycerol and fatty acids. The catabolism of this triglyceride yields: 1 DHAP molecule, 15 FADH2, 15 NADH, and 18 acetyl- COA. (b) Proteins are first digested into individual amino acids. Deamination removes the amine group from each amino acid.

Given what you know of their roles in GAPDH, classify each as an activator or an inhibitor of the enzyme. What overall consideration having to do with how glycolysis is regulated allowed you to make these inferences, without having any data?
