Concept explainers
EVOLUTION CONNECTION AIP synthases are found in the prokaryotic plasma membrane and in mitochondria and chloroplasts. (a) Propose a hypothesis to account for an evolutionary relationship of these eukaryotic organelles and prokaryotes. (b) Explain how the amino acid sequences of the ATP synthases from the different sources could he used to support or refute your hypothesis.

- complex 4 cytochrome C oxidase COxidation of one molecule of NADH by the ETC result in transport of 10 protons across the membrane. The c-ring of the ATP synthase in your experimental system contains 12 c subunits. Based on the "binding-change" mechanism of ATP synthesis, how many ATP molecules would be produced from one NADH molecule? n Name the processes that generate NADH during aerobic respiration. For each process, indicate thearrow_forwardPlease help me with thisarrow_forwardBiochemists working with isolated mitochondria recognize five energy“states” of mitochondria, depending on the presence or absence of essential substrates for respiration—O2, ADP, oxidizable substrates, and so forth. The characteristics of each state are:state 1: mitochondria alone (in buffer containing Pi)state 2: mitochondria + substrate, but respiration low due to lack of ADPstate 3: mitochondria + substrate + limited amount of ADP, allowingrapid respirationstate 4: mitochondria + substrate, but all ADP converted to ATP, sorespiration slowsstate 5: mitochondria + substrate + ADP, but all O2 used up (anoxia),so respiration stops(a) On the graph, identify the state that might predominate in each stage of the trace indicated with a letter. (b) To determine whether isolated mitochondria exhibit respiratory control,one determines the ratio of rates of oxygen uptake in two different states.Which states?(c) Which state probably predominates in vivo in skeletal muscle fatiguedfrom a long…arrow_forward

Thanks A 45 year old man was rushed to the ER after ingesting "Galaxodin," a hypothetical poison. Explain why Galaxodin is toxic knowing that it increases the pH of the intermembrane space of mitochondria! You will need to give a comprehensive explanation of the process of energy conversion starting from NAH ending in ATP under normal conditions. Include details such as the transfer of electrons, the proton gradient, and chemiosmosis, NADH and FADH2, and ATP synthase must be mentioned. The majority of your grade will come from this part. Then explain why Galaxodin is so toxic!arrow_forward
- Which metabolic pathway is most suitable for an efficiently functioning organism in its particular community? Why? And is there a specific correspondence of structures for the functions of support, protection, and movement between the unicellular and multicellular organisms, particularly in animals? How are they similar and how are they different?arrow_forwardExplain how would compounds such as NAD+, NADH, ubiquinone, ubiquinol and cytochrome are able to facilitate the transport of electrons in the electron transport chain. Provide an explanation for why this mechanism for transporting electrons is evolutionary conserved across species and across biological systems.arrow_forwardabout ATP synthase [Cellular Respiration] Which of the following interactions provides the mechanical energy needed to promote ATP production?

- ATP Synthase contains with in it one of the most conserved residues in a protein we know. Asp 61. This is the amino acid that carries the proton. a. Why would this residue be so highly conserved? What would happen if a mutation occurred that would change Asp to Ala? b. At the end of one spin of ATP synthase when the proton is in a position to leave to the intermembrane space the Asp comes into close contact with another very highly conserved residue Arg 210. Explain how this Arg residue could help the proton attached to Asp to leave. Hint think pKa Answer both parts with good explanationarrow_forwardGive typed full explanation what is the pathway for beta oxidation? A-Farrow_forwarda. Cellular respiration is an energy releasing enzymatically controlled catabolic process which evolves a stepwise oxidative breakdown of organic substances inside living cells. Describe the steps involved in cellular respiration when oxygen is and is not available. In your answer, state the inputs and outputs of yeast cell respiration with and without oxygen. In the yeast respiration experiment, we saw that yeast were able to use sucrose (table sugar) for respiration, but not sucralose (the active ingredient in Splenda). b. b. Explain what these results indicate about how the specific structure of an enzyme affects its function. In your answer, make sure to include the term “active site.” c. c. Explain how you think the results may have differed if the fermentation tubes had been placed in a refrigerator (~4 degrees Celsius) over the duration of the experiment, instead of an incubator set to 40 degrees Celsius, and why.
