Question
LET'S MAKE SOME ATP Your group has 8 glucose molecules and 7 triglyceride molecules. There is plenty of oxygen so all of your substrate will undergo oxidative phosphorylation. Start with your glucose molecules and trace them through glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain, Remember that 2 pyruvate are produced from each glucose molecule. The triglyceride is composed of a glycerol and 3 fatty acid chains of palmitic acid (a 16 carbon saturated fatty acid). Your triglyceride molecules will go through beta-oxidation. The end product of beta-oxidation is acetyl- COA. For each fatty acid chain that goes through beta-oxidation, 8 acetyl-CoA, 7 NADH, and 7 FADH are produced. The acety!-CoA that is produced from beta-oxidation will then enter the Krebs cycle, while the NADH and FADH produced during beta-oxidation will go directly to the electron transport chain. Remember, there are 3 fatty acid chains on each triglyceride molecule. Using the information from Chapter 3 of your textbook, answer the following questions. Glucose-Glycolysis How many ATP are required as the energy of activation to the breakdown all your glucose molecules in glycolysis? 1. 2. How many ATP will be produced from substrate-level phosphorylation during glycolysis of all your glucose 3. 4. 5. 6. molecules? What is the total number of pyruvate molecules that will be produced from glycolysis? How many NADH will be produced from glycolysis? What is the total number of ATP produced from glycolysis? What is the Net production of ATP from glycolysis? Glucose-Krebs Cycle 7. How many ATP will be directly produced (substrate-level phosphorylation) in the Krebs cycle from your glucose molecules? 8. How many NADH will be produced from your glucose molecules in the Krebs cycle? 9. How many FADH will be produced from your glucose molecules in the Krebs cycle? 10. How many ATP will be produced from the NADH that was formed in the Krebs cycle from your glucose molecules? 11. How many ATP will be produced from the FADH that was formed in the Krebs cycle from your glucose molecules? 12. What is the total number of ATP produced from your glucose molecules during oxidative phosphorylation (glycolysis, Krebs cycle, & electron transport chain)?Explanation / Answer
1. 2 ATP ( 1 for activation of glucose to glucose 6 phosphate and 1 ATP for fructose 6 phosphate to fructose 1,6 bisphosphate).
2. 4 ATP ( 1,3 bisphosphoglycerate and PEP to Pyruvate both produce 1 ATP each).
3. 2 Pyruvate per glucose molecule.
4. 2 NADH (by oxidation of glyceraldehyde 3 phosphate which produce electron and these electron pass through electron transport chain to produce NADH).
5. 4 ATP
6. 2 ATP (as 2 are utilized in activation of glucose).
These values are cor 1 glucose molecule for 8 molecules multiply each by 8.
