Question
Chapter 20, Problem 14P
Interpretation Introduction
To propose:
The path of electrons through the Q cycle of complex III.
Introduction:
Due to complex III, movement of electrons from coenzyme Q to cytochrome c is there. The coenzyme Q possesses the ability to carry electrons and protons whereas cytochrome c carries only one electron. The Q cycle is a name given to the movement of electron via complex III.

The ΔG°′ for hydrolytically removing a phosphoryl group from ATP is about twice as large as the ΔG°′ for hydrolytically removing a phosphoryl group from AMP (−14 kJ · mol−1). Explain the discrepancy.
Refer to the reaction scheme of the GAPDH catalyzed formation of 1,3-BPG. In the reaction, the nucleophile in step (4) is an inorganic phosphate molecule. The enzyme active site is elaborately constructed so that inorganic phosphate, not water, acts as the nucleophile.
What advantage is gained by using inorganic phosphate, instead of water, as the nucleophile? Discuss in terms of the energy yield of glycolysis. No need to calculate the total net energy yield of glycolysis.

Choose ALL that apply.
(A) can be condensed with malonyl ACP to produce a Cn+2 b-ketoacyl ACP (B) is formed from the reduction of a trans D2-enoyl ACP(C) is a product of acetyl transacylase(D) is reduced by NADPH
(E) is a substrate for b-ketoacyl synthase(F) can be condensed with acetyl ACP to produce a Cn+2 b-ketoacyl ACP
