Chapter 2, Problem 1CAE
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Ralstonia bacterium found in both soil and water. It grow under aerobic conditions. Under limited nutrient condition it directs its reduced carbon flux to synthesis poly hydroxybutyrate (PHB), a biopolymer stored in intracellular granules. Biosynthesis of PHB have been used industrially in the production of biodegradable plastic. Also used in the production of biofuel from CO2.

One of the ways for a cell to generate ATP is through the oxidative phosphorylation. In oxidative phosphorylation 3 ATP are produced from every one NADH molecule. In respiration, every glucose molecule produces 10 NADH molecules. If a cell is growing on 5 glucose molecules, how much ATP can be produced using oxidative phosphorylation/aerobic respiration?
If a cell is growing on 5 glucose molecules, how much ATP can be produced using oxidative phosphorylation/aerobic respiration?
How do i know which way the arrows go?
