Chapter 7, Problem 3DAA
Mitochondrial Abnormalities in Tetralogy of Fallot Tetralogy of Fallot (TF) is a genetic disorder in which heart malformations result in abnormal blood circulation, so oxygen does not reach body cells as it should. With insufficient oxygen to accept electrons at the end of miotchondrial electron transfer chains, too many free radicals form. This damages the mitochondria—and the cells. In 2004, Sarah Kuruvilla studied mitochondria in the heart muscle of TF patients. Some of her results are shown in FIGURE 7.13.

effect would cyanide have on ATP synthesis?
20. Because they lose their mitochondria
during development, red blood cells cannot
perform aerobic respiration; however, they do
perform glycolysis in the cytoplasm. Why do all
cells need an energy source, and what would
happen if glycolysis were blocked in a red
blood cell?

circular pathway and a linear pathway?
22. How do the roles of ubiquinone and
cytochrome c differ from the roles of the other
components of the electron transport chain?

ATP molecules…
Multiple choice
Ultimately, the goal of cellular respiration is to strip electrons from glucose. These stripped electrons are used to generate the energy in oxidative phosphorylation that is needed to:
-Actively transport H+ into the intermembrane space
-Actively transport NAD+ into the intermembrane space
-Turn on ATP synthase
-Allow H+ to diffuse down its concentration gradient into the mitochondrial matrix

- Oxidative phosphorylation generates ATP using the reducing power of [NADH, FADH2 or malate] to move electrons down a series of carriers to ultimately produce a [phosphate gradient or protons gradient] across the inner mitochondrial membrane, which is used by ATP synthase to make ATP. ATP synthase harnesses the energy stored in both [charge and concentration gradients or electostatic and van der waals interations] to achieve high energy phosphate bond synthesis. If the ion gradient across the inner membrane is dissipated by the expression of UCP1, ATP is not synthesized and [heat is generated or electron transport is blocked]. The final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain is [oxygen or carbon dioxide] with water as a product.arrow_forwardDuring chemiosmosis ATP is synthesized when H + ions move through turnstile like channel of ATP synthase. H+ ions serve as the final electron acceptor. energy is released as H+ ions move freely across mitochondrial membranes. a concentration gradient is generated when large numbers of H+ ions are passively transported from the matrix of the mitochondrion to the mitochondrion's intermembrane space. 2.86 points Save Answerarrow_forwardIn the eukaryotic cells, the endomembrane system Secretory vesidles Preteins syetheslzed for export Esocytosis Golgi Nucleus Rough ER Smooth ER O provide additional area where many metabolic processes occur form membranous compartments called organelles determines structures of cells greatly increase a cell's total membrane area facilitates protein synthesis Helps cells to attach to other cellsarrow_forward
