Compare and contrast the location of glycolysis, Krebs cyle, and elctron transport in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?
Oligomycin, an antibiotic, acts by binding prokaryotic ATP synthase in such a way as to block the hydrogen ion (proton) channel.
If oligomycin is used as an antibiotic, therapeutically, would you expect the space outside the bacterial cytoplasmic membrane to increase in hydrogen ion concentration (more acidic) or decrease in hydrogen ion concentration (less acidic)?
Suggest the advantages of having metabolic pathways staged in specifi c membrane or organelle locations rather than being free in the cytoplasm.
