Chapter 9, Problem 14P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason for the incorporation of O18 in the ATP molecule should be determined.

Concept Introduction:

ATP (adenosine monophosphate) is an organic molecule and the chemical that provides energy to the cell. Muscular contractions, chemical synthesis, and nerve impulse propagation, all these activities are run by ATP derived energy. It is synthesized in the mitochondria; therefore, mitochondria are termed as the powerhouse of the cell.

Fo-F1 ATPase. The energy for ATP synthesis from ADP and Pi is provided by the downhill transport of protons through the rotary FoF1 ATP synthase . The enzyme has 3 alpha-beta and 12 ‘c’ subunits. The mitochondrion maintains change in membrane potential=180 mV (negative inside), pHin = 8, pHout=7, [Pi] = 3 mM and ADP is present as well. . What [ATP]/[ADP] ratio will be established at steady-state under these conditions?  What would be the [ATP]/[ADP] ratio if the enzyme had only 9 ‘c’ subunits? full revolution of the crank (gamma subunit) produces 3 ATP.
No free lunch. Explain why maintaining a high concentration of CO2 CO2 in the bundle-sheath cells of C4C4 plants is an example of active transport. How much ATP is required per CO2CO2 to maintain a high concentration of CO2CO2 in the bundle-sheath cells of C4C4 plants?
any biochemistry expect. please help, it's my last attempt..
