What is the free energy change for generating the electrical imbalance of protons in respiring mitochondria in culture, where Δψ is 150 mV? (Express your answer in kJ/mol using 3 significant figures.)
Processes taking place in the mitochondrion convert the chemical potential energy of NADH into the chemical potential energy of ATP. A proton concentration gradient (Δ[H+]) is part of this process. Describe exactly where this gradient is located, and how the gradient is produced. In terms of the gradient, where is the higher [H+] and where is the lower [H+]?
Suppose the concentration of glucose inside a cell is 0.1 mM and the cell issuspended in a glucose solution of 0.01 mM.(a) What would be the free energy change, in kJ/mol, for the transport ofglucose from the medium into the cell? Assume T = 37 °C.(b) What would be the free energy change, in kJ/mol, for the transport ofglucose from the medium into the cell if the intracellular and extracellularconcentrations were 1 mM and 10 mM, respectively?(c) If the processes described in parts (a) and (b) were coupled toATP hydrolysis, how many moles of ATP would have to be hydrolysed,per mole of glucose transported, in order to make each process favorable? (Use the standard free energy change for ATP hydrolysis.)
