Question

a) If the “vitamins and cofactors” pathways became dysfunctional, would this affect aerobic respiration? and How?

b) Where on the graph (which pathway) does the bulk of ATP biosynthesis take place?

From the metabolic network chart provided, answer the following questions. Glycan Biosynthesis Biodegradation of Metabolism Carbohydrate Metabolism Metabolism of Other Amino Ackls Lipid Metabolism Amino Acid Metabolism Production Of Reducing Powers Metabolism of Cofactors and Vitamins Energy Metabolism Biosynthesis of Secondary Metabolites

Explanation / Answer

a. Vitamin act as coenzymes. This means they are necessary for the catalysis reaction of the enzyme involved in aerobic respiration pathways viz glycolysis, Kreb cycle, electron transport chain. Hence, if vitamin and cofactor pathway become dysfunctional , then ATP will not be produced in sufficient amount and less energy will be produced in the form of ATP.
