(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The number of decarboxylation reactions in the citric acid cycle should be determined.

Concept Introduction: Aerobic respiration occurs in two steps;

  • Glycolysis
  • Citric acid cycle

Glycolysis is the first step that forms pyruvate. In the presence of oxygen means aerobic respiration, this pyruvate enters in the Krebs cycle and extracts energy in the form of electrons transfer. Electrons are transferred from the pyruvate to the receptors like NAD+, GDP, and FAD and CO2 gas is formed as the waste product. The products of citric acid cycles act as precursors for electron transport chains.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The concurrent oxidizing agent in the decarboxylation steps in the citric acid cycle should be determined.

Explain the process of oxidation-reduction reaction when (a) betadine is added to vitamin c solution and (b) betadine is added to bleach solution.
. Each gram of mammalian skeletal muscle consumes ATP at a rate of about 1x 10-3 mol/min during contraction. Concentrations of ATP and creatine phosphate in muscle are about 4 mM and 25 mM, respectively, and the density of muscle tissue can be taken to be about 1.2 g/cm'. (a) How long could contraction continue using ATP alone? (b) If all creatine phosphate were converted into ATP and utilized as well, how long could contraction continue? (c) What do these answers tell you?
5) The conversion of dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate in glycolysis has a AG" value of 7.5 kJ/mol, so the reaction should be unfavorable. a) Calculate the equilibrium constant for the reaction, based on this AG" value and assuming a temperature of 37 °C. b) For this reaction to occur spontaneously in the cell, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (GAP) levels are kept low. What is the value of AG if the concentration of GAP is kept at 1/100 that of the DHAP. 6) Energy can be harnessed as electrons move from compounds with low reduction potential to those with a higher reduction potential. This happens many times in the electron transport chain, where O, ultimately accepts the electrons. Using Table 3.6, determine the AG" for the transfer of electrons from glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate to produce H,0.
