- Describe the process of oxidative phosphorylation. In your description, include the terms NADH, FADH2, ATP, mitochondria (or mitochondrial), glycolysis, citric acid cycle, electron (or electrons), proton (or protons), and oxygen. Be sure to describe how ATP molecules get produced, and how many ATP molecules are produced per FADH2 and NADH (note; NADH from outside the mitochondria generate a different number of ATP compared to NADH inside the mitochondria; your description should indicate both quantities for full credit.) vas 19llo ton lle vowor 1esbarrow_forwardGive an account of β – oxidation of saturated even carbon fatty acid (Palmitic acid)along with the total ATPs obtained.arrow_forwardConsider 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 O2arrow_forward

Which of the following statements is most likely to be true under cellular conditions? In all cases, note that dephosphorylation specifically refers to hydrolysis in which a phosphate is lost. ATP dephosphorylation is more exergonic than glucose 6-phosphate dephosphorylation. ATP dephosphorylation is less exergonic than glucose 6-phosphate dephosphorylation. There is not enough information to determine which reaction is more exergonic.arrow_forward
