What is the purpose in having several steps in cellular respiration rather than a single step from glucose and oxygen to carbon dioxide and water? [Select the best answer.] The multistep approach is the only way to convert glucose to carbon dioxide. The multistep approach increases the amount of potential energy in the reaction. The multistep approach increases the amount of heat produced in the reaction. The multistep approach more efficiently captures the available potential energy for cellular use.

The number of calories used during physical exercise is greater than the number of calories used for the movements themselves. This may be caused in part by exercise-induced expression of uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) in subcutaneous fat. Subcutaneous fat is mostly white fat cells but can also contain brown fat cells in mice and humans. As part of a thermogenesis program, UCP1 directly reduces the proton gradient driving oxidative phosphorylation. UCP1 expression is a characteristic of brown fat cells only and is induced by the protein irisin. The data in Table 1 address the relationship between exercise and: in both wild-type mice and mice with overexpression skeletal muscle PGC-1a (a transcription factor whose expression in skeletal muscle is induced by exercise). Table 1 Effects of Exercise and PGC-1a on UCP1, FNDC5, Irisin, and Adiponectin • expression of UCP1 in subcutaneous fat cells, • expression of FNDC5 (a transmembrane protein in skeletal muscle plasma membranes), • blood…
The average cell, at rest, hydrolyzes 10,000, 000 ATP molecules per second. You are studying the stem cell population found in the intestinal Crypts. In the intestine there are s total 5 x 1011 cell number. The stem cells have a 85% higher metabolism than an average resting cell. ATP hydrolysis yield 7.4 kCal/ Mole ATP. (Avogadro’s number is 6.023 x 1023) 1) How many moles of ATP are hydrolyzed per second? A) 15.3 moles/ sec. B) 7.06 x 10-6 moles/ sec. C) 5.4 x 10-2 moles/ sec. D) 25 moles/ sec.

This is the question: Ethanol metabolism has been part of the human diet for centuries. Ethanol cannot be excreted and must be metabolized by the liver using the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase in a two step reaction: Excess consumption of ethanol leads to the accumulation of NADH. What effect would a high concentration of NADH have on metabolic pathways and consequently the body. Choose as least two pathways to describe the effect.

Interested in studying ethanol fermentation, you prepare two solutions of yeast extract that contains the cytosolic contents of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. You add glucose to both extracts at time zero, but to one (in red) you also add inorganic phosphate (added in two batches). Using a gas sensor, you monitor the CO2 generated by the two solutions over time and obtain the following data:
In living cells, true equilibrium is dangerous because if the rate of a forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction, a wasteful cycle is produced during which the cell gains no new nutrients. In this situation, the cell will eventually die. Therefore, organisms have many ways of ensuring that reactions move only in the forward direction. One of these means is control over reactant concentration. The Citric Acid Cycle is a series of reactions that occur in eukaryotic cell mitochondria which are essential for providing energy to living cells. During one of these reactions, a molecule known as oxaloacetate is combined with acetyl coenzyme-A to produce citrate. Normally, the concentration of oxaloacetate in mitochondria is very low. If the cell is in need of more energy and the concentration of oxaloacetate increases, what will happen to the direction and of this reaction? How do you suppose this affects the overall amount of energy product produced?

Which of the following statements is true regarding metabolic pathways? NAD+ is used as a most commonly in anabolic pathways while NADPH is used most commonly in catabolic pathways. none of the answers choices are correct. catabolic pathways use a wide variety of substrates to produce a small number of waste products.
