2.In the chemiosmotic model of oxidative phosphorylation ATP is synthesized as???____ flows through_____synthetase

3.Each mole of ATP stores 7.3 kcal of energy, which can be released by the hydrolysis of ATP back to ADP. How much energy does the body gain by oxidation of one mole of glucose?
glucose+36ADP+36 Pi--------> 6CO2+36 ATP+6H2O

  • Comparing Efficiency of Glucose Oxidation

    total production of ATP from the complete oxidation of glucose to 6 CO2 using glycolysis and the Krebs cycle is 38 ATP equivalents.

  • Anaerobic and Aerobic Conditions

    The Krebs cycle backs up and glycolysis would come to an end too. However, in order to still make some ATP, many cells can operate some form of "anaerobic respiration."

  • The energy in glucose is transformed into ATP

    In glycolysis, glucose is broken down into 2 pyruvic acid (pyruvate) molecules with two hydrogens being removed from the glucose molecule. This oxidation occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell and requires 2 ATP molecules, but yields a net +2 ATP's.

  • Glycolysis Pathway questions

    The Krebs cycle occurs twice for each glucose molecule which enters glycolysis, so the total number of ATP formed through the Krebs cycle is 24.The total number of ATP molecules formed from the breakdown of one glucose molecule is 24 + 14 = 38.

  • Concept map on metabolism

    Thus, during aerobic glycolysis ATP is generated from oxidation of glucose directly at the PGK and PK reactions as well as indirectly by re-oxidation of NADH in the oxidative phosphorylation pathway.

  • Body Metabolism

    The third system is a "power system" or the creatine/ATP system. This is a system of quick energy store when "power" is needed immediately. No oxidation of glucose occurs during this process at all, and no production of lactate either.

  • Structure and Function of ATP

    Oxidative phosphorylation is the production of ATP using energy derived from the transfer of electrons in an electron transport system and occurs by chemiosmosis.

  • Questions dealing with cellular respiration topics

    From the choices in the drop-down list available, and knowing that this is a hydrolysis reaction, X would be the reactant (and in this case the more complex molecule) and Y would be the products.

  • DNA mRNA Role of a Coenzyme
