Summary Introduction
To determine:
The maximum number of molecules of ATP that can be generated by a bacterium after complete aerobic oxidation of a fat molecule containing three 12-carbon chains.
Introduction:
ATP is adenosine triphosphate molecule which is obtained as energy molecules from the oxidation process in a bacterium. The ATP molecules are released from catabolism in glycolysis, Krebs cycle and various other processes.

A newly identified bacterium is unable to synthesize ubiquinone. A mobile electron carrier called CXC3 is used as a substitute. From the information provided in the table, calculate the delta G knot prime and the Keq value at 298 K for the redox reaction that occurs in this bacterium’s electron transport chain.
Explain the impact that using CXC 3 instead of ubiquinol will have on ATP production in the cell. How might this cell adapt to this situation?

Lactic acid is a biproduct formed at the end of anaerobic respiration. This molecule is dangerous to cells of the body if it builds up too much.Despite this, the formation of lactic acid is very important. Explain why the process of anaerobic respiration is so important (providing reference to glycolysis, the role of coenzymes, and ATP formation). The answer should show in detail the stages of all the steps of anaerobic respiration with detail of location, key products etc.
