Question

Glycolysis leads to the production of absence of oxygen, fermentation leads to the production of citric acid cycle can convert the carbons of glucose tostoring the energy as ATP and molecules of ATP. In the Glycolysis plus the and Complete the statement choosing from the words below CO2, acetyl CoA, 6, FADH2, pyruvate, 2, lactic acid, NADH, NADPH, 32 Dinitrophenol (DNP) is an uncoupler, or has the ability to separate the flow of electrons and the pumping of H ions for ATP synthesis. This means that the energy from electron transfer cannot be used for ATP synthesis. Fifty years ago, DNP was given as a drug to help patients lose weight. How does this work? Why would this be dangerous? A. Uncoupling the electron transport chain would inhibit fermentation and decrease ATP production, a potentially dangerous situation. B. If electron transport doesn't produce ATP, then much more sugar must be metabolised for energy needs. Very low production of ATP would be lethal. C. DNP has a secondary action as a suicide substrate for a key enzyme of lipid metabolism in adipocytes. Continued use of DNP as a drug destroys adipocytes permanently

Explanation / Answer

1. Pyruvate and 2 molecule of ATP.
Lactic acid
CO2
NADH
FADH2

2. B
If electron transport doesn't produce ATP, then much more sugar must be metabolized for energy needs. Very low production of ATP would be lethal.
