- ATP Accounting Upon digestion of starch, maltose, one of its degradation products, is further hydrolyzed into its monosaccharide components prior to intestinal absorption and entry into the glycolysis. Calculate the number of ATP molecules produced from the digestion and complete oxidation of 3 molecules of maltose considering the malate-aspartate shuttle.

- Imagine a triglyceride comprised of (3) saturated C12 fatty acids. Calculate the number of ATP generated from the complete oxidation of one of these 12-carbon fatty acids to CO2 and water in the liver. Assume that each NADH = 2.5 ATP and each FADH2 = ETC generates 1.5 ATP. Any step that yields pyrophosphate as a product should be treated as an input (i.e. net loss) of (2) ATP.arrow_forwardShow summary computation in a table Net ATP yield for complete oxidation of 1 mol of galactose to CO2 and H2O (using both Malate-Aspartate and Glycerol-3-Phosphate Shuttles)arrow_forwardShow summary computation in a table Net ATP yield for complete oxidation of 1 mol of mannose to CO2 and H2O (using both Malate-Aspartate and Glycerol-3-Phosphate Shuttles)arrow_forward
- UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase catalyzes the removal of a pyrophosphate group from UTP as it synthesizes UDP-glucose. Why is this necessary, from a biochemical perspective? Both of the phosphate groups from UTP are needed to form UDP-glucose. There is no particular reason: wasteful reactions just happen sometimes. The pyrophosphate (after hydrolysis) is required to free up more phosphate for the synthesis of ATP by oxidative phosphorylation. The subsequent hydrolysis of pyrophosphate is a highly exergonic reaction, which pulls the equilibrium over towards UDP-glucose. Pyrophosphate is an allosteric activator of glycogen synthase, so this helps glycogen synthesis to proceed at a faster rate.arrow_forwardThe intermediates of glycolysis with a free energy of hydrolysis sufficient to couple conversion of ADP + phosphate to ATP (a substrate level phosphorylation) include (Choose all that apply) O phosphoenolpyruvate O 2-phosphoglycerate O 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate O glucose-6-phosphate. O fructose-6-phosphate. O fructose-1,6-bisphosphate. O dihydroxyacetone phosphatearrow_forwardActivation of the fatty acid (converting it to fatty acyl-SCoA) requires the expenditure of 2 ATPs. Use your answers from parts B and C to calculate the total number of ATPs generated from the metabolism of a saturated fatty acid with 18 carbon atoms including both the citric acid cycle and the ββbeta-oxidation pathway as well as the initial ATP required to produce the acyl-SCoA molecule that starts the process.
