1. Explain why the stepwise oxidation of glucose can be used to generate ATP and reduced electron carriers,

2. Generally describe the series of events via which pyruvate is further processed after glycolysis (assume that this is in the presence of oxygen, i.e. pathways other than fermentation). Keep track of the net inputs and outputs of these processes and the locations in which they happen.

Solutions

Expert Solution

1. In oxidation of glucose the NAD and FAD molecules are reduced and form NADH and FADH2. Both this molecules carries a high electron cariers and used to generate ATP. Different steps in glycolysis and TCA cycle produces a NADH and FADH2.

The reaction glucose + ATP <=> glucose-1-phosphate + ADP has ΔG°' = -9.6 kJ mol-1. This is a coupled reaction which can be broken into two parts. The first part of the reaction is ATP + H2O <=> ADP + Pi, with ΔG°' = -30.5 kJ mol-1. The second part of the reaction is glucose + Pi <=> glucose-1-phosphate + H2O. Calculate the ΔG°' value for this reaction in kJ mol-1.

If the oxidation of glucose can produce flames, as seen when roasting a marshmallow over a campfire, why don’t we risk internal burns when we swallow a marshmallow and oxidize its glucose with cellular respiration? Oxidation is not taking place. The marshmallow is being reduced. The lining of our stomach prevents burning food from causing damage to our bodies Digestion of the marshmallow is an endergonic process, therefore, no energy is released Cellular respiration releases the energy from the glucose...
