Q

what is the p/o ration?

A

number of moles consumed in phosphorylation to the number of moles of oxygen atoms consumed in oxidation (or atp generated per nadh or fadh2 that is oxidized)

145
Q

p/o when nadh is oxidized

A

3

146
Q

p/o when fadh2 is oxidized

A

2

147
Q

nadh produced in glycolysis

A

number of nadh: 2
p/o ratio: 3
number of atp: 6

148
Q

nadh produced in kreb’s

A

nadh: 8
p/o: 3
atp: 24

149
Q

fadh2 produced in kreb’s

A

fadh2: 2
p/o: 2
atp: 4

150
Q

type of phosphorylation when p/o ratio is involved?

A

ox phos

151
Q

atp generated during glycolysis and kreb’s (aerobic respiration)

A

38 atp (2 from glycolysis, 2 from tca, 34 from etc and ox phos)

152
Q

why is cyanide toxic?

A

can’t continue etc, not generating enough atp

153
Q

the fate of the end product of glycolysis (pyruvate) depends on…

A

where o2 is present or not

154
Q

pyruvate that is made into lactate…

A

lactic acid fermentation

155
Q

pyruvate that is made into ethanol

A

ethanol fermentation

156
Q

in fermentation rxns, nad+ or nadh is generated?

A

nad+

157
Q

what is needed for the starting material in glycolysis?

A

nad+

158
Q

how many atp are made during fermentation?

A

0

159
Q

why might fermentation necessary?

A

to involve nad+ to carry out glycolysis when there’s no o2 available

160
Q

tca cycle is a central metabolic pathway that can be used both anabolically and catabolically? t or f?

A

false

161
Q

which enzyme uses coenzyme fad as the e- acceptor?

A

succinate dehydrogenase

162
Q

conversion of malate to oxaloacetate has a high gibbs free energy but it can take place b/c…

A

the oxaloacetate product is used up in the subsequent rxn

163
Q

when mitochondria are actively carrying out aerobic respiration…

A

pH of matrix is greater than pH of intermembrane space

164
Q

synthesis of atp in mitochondria is driven by…

A

proton/pH gradient

165
Q

advantage of using multiple steps in e- transport?

A

more E is captured to make ATP

166
Q

purpose of tca cycle?

A

generate reduced coenzymed NADH and FADH2 to be used in ETC to make ATP

167
Q

reduction of pyruvate to lactate allows for

A

recycling of NAD

168
Q

alcohol dehydrogenase resembled lactate dehydrogenase in that it

A

uses NADH as a coenzyme
