what is the maximum amount of ATP that could theoretically be produced from 3.5 moles of acetyl-CoA?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Answer-

According to the given question-

We know that Acetyl Co-A is formed from pyruvate with the help of enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase complex or PDH. After that Acetyl Co A join the citric acid cycle and leads to the production of 3 molecules of NADH and one molecule of FADH2 and one molecule of GTP (GTP = ATP).

NADH and FADH2 join the electron transport chain and reduce the oxygen into the water as well as generates a proton gradient which is used by enzyme ATP synthetase for the production of ATP.

1 molecule of NADH = 2.5 ATP

1 Molecule of FADH2 = 1.5 ATP

1 Molecule of GTP = 1 ATP

So total ATP from NADH = 3 2.5 = 7.5.

ATP form FADH2 = 1.5

Total = 7.5 + 1.5 + 1= 10 ATP produced from one mole of Acetyl Co A during aerobic respiration.

So for 3.5 moles of acetyl-CoA = 3.5 10 = 35 ATP.

So 35 ATP are produced from 3.5 moles of acetyl-CoA during aerobic respiration.

What is the maximum ratio of [glucose]in to [glucose]out that could theoretically be produced if the energy coupling mol were 100% efficient?

Intestinal epithelial cells pump glucose into the cell against its concentration gradient using the Na+-glucose symporter. Recall that the Na+ concentration is significantly higher outside the cell than inside the cell. The symporter couples the "downhill" transport of two Na+ ions into the cell to the "uphill" transport of glucose into the cell. If the Na+ concentration outside the cell ([ Na+ ]out) is 149 mM and that inside the cell ([ Na+ ]in) is 23.0 mM, and the cell potential is -50.0 mV (inside...
