The net gain of ATP molecules per molecule of glucose in the
reactions of glycolysis is 2. What is the net gain of ATP molecules
per monosaccharide consumed in glycolysis for the following
sugars?
Fructose:
Mannose:
Galactose:
Compare how many ATP molecules can be maximally formed by the
breakdown of a glucose molecule in a cell lacking mitochondria, a
cell that has mitochondria with ion channels specific to protons in
its inner membrane, and a cell that has normal mitochondria.
Justifications for the calculations must be given and full
accounts of the calculations must be provided so that the number of
ATP molecules can be traced back to relevant reactions /
processes.
What is the ATP yield from one molecule of glucose and how ATP
is generated at each process:
a. Glycolysis
b. Kreb's cycle
c. Electron Transport chain
Please specify if any ATP are removed from the total yield as a
result of these ATP being required to initialise the reaction
The maximum yield of ATP per molecule of glucose in eukaryotic
cells is 36 or 38 ATP, depending on cell type and conditions. Why
is the calculated ATP yield referred to as "Maximal Theoretical
Yield" in eukaryotic and in prokaryotic cells?
How many ATP molecules can be generated from one arachidic acid
(20:0) molecule? (Draw the arachidic acid structure and show how
you calculate your answer)
How many gross and net molecules of ATP will one get from
complete oxidation of a saturated fatty acid that has 18 carbons?
Please show all the detailed steps (which step of aerobic
respiration) and calculations that you will be doing to arrive at
your answer to get full credit. I need to see the energy balance
sheet for each step, involved in this oxidation (check the energy
balance sheet for glucose in text book to get idea of how...
How many NADH molecules are generated by the complete breakdown

c)10
d)12
