how are metabolic reactions (particularly respiration) and combustion reactions similar and how are these reactions different?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Solution :-

The similarities between the both reaction is that in both reaction glucose reacts with the oxygen to form the other products and release the energy which is utilized for the different functions.

The difference in the respiration and combustion is

Respiration reactions takes place at the body temeprature. while the combustion reaction gives of the energy in hig amount which increases the temperature very significantly.

In the respiration reaction different enzymes and catalyst were used to control the acitivation energy of the reactions so that the reaction can occure at the body temperature while in the combustion the enzymes or catalyst are not used.

The activation energy for the respiration reaction is very low therefore reactions can occure at the body temperature in contrast the activation energy of the combustion reaction is very high therefore combustion starts at high temperature.

Respiraton reactions takes place within the cell while the comnbustion reactions are not took place in the cell.

Let’s use glucose as the metabolic fuel for aerobic respiration. How many ATPs would be formed if NAD+were the sole electron carrier cofactor formed throughout the metabolic pathways of glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation? b. How many H+would have to be pumped from the intermembrane space and into the matrix for the ATP synthase to generate all of these ATPs? c.

Scenario: you isolate a new drug that seems to be particularly effective at inhibiting a metabolic pathway in tumor cells. You want to do an experiment that compares global changes in the number and types of different proteins in cells that are treated with the compound vs. untreated cells. how can this be accomplished experimentally.
