Interpretation:
The consumption of oxygen will get increase, decrease or remain constant when oxidative phosphorylation does not couple with electron transport chain has to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Oxidative phosphorylation: The production of
Electron transport chain
The enzymes that help in electron transport chain are embedded within the inner membrane of mitochondrion.

- How does an increase in the ADP/ATP ratioaffect the activity of isocitrate dehydrogenase?arrow_forwardDefine Glycolysis and Gluconeogenesis. How GLYCOLYSIS and GLUCONEOGENESIS does reciprocally regulated in the body? Explain it.arrow_forwardXylulose-5-phosphate is an intermediate in the pentose phosphate pathway (see Figure). As xylulose-5-phosphate levels rise in response to excess glucose shunting through the pentose phosphate pathway, does flux through glycolysis increase or decrease?arrow_forward
- Pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiency, a severe condition with a poor prognosis, results in neurological dysfunction and unremitting lactic acidosis. One treatment is placing the patients on a low carbohydrate/high fat diet. ( a) Explain why the deficiency would be characterized by neurological dysfunction. ( b) Why does lactic acidosis result? ( c) Explain the rationale for the low carbohydrate/high fat diet.arrow_forwardAssuming that the glycerol 3-phosphate shuttle is operative, a complete oxidation of three molecules of glucose (by a eukaryotic cell) into carbon dioxide and water would produce approximately ATP molecules via oxidative phosphorylation only. (Consider NADH = 2.5 ATP and FADH2 = 1.5 ATP)arrow_forwardWhat is the net ATP produced by glycolysis, the TCA cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation?arrow_forward
- Why is glucose provided by glycogenolysis in the liver but not in skeletal muscle?arrow_forwardThe transformation of glucose to lactate in myocytes releases only about 7% of the free energy released when glucose is completely oxidized to CO2 and H2O. Does this mean that anaerobic glycolysis in muscle is a wasteful use of glucose? Explain.arrow_forwardHow many ATP are produced from a triglyceride containing three 14 carbon fatty acids? NOTE: Assume that glycerol is converted to Glyceraldehyde-3-Phosphate (step 6 of glycolysis).arrow_forward
- Briefly describe the role of uncouplers in oxidative phosphorylation.arrow_forwardWhat does Oxidative phosphorylation provide?arrow_forwardDuring the initial phase of exercise, muscles can become hypoxic which leads to the buildup of lactate. a) Fully explain how oxygen shortage can lead to the accumulation of lactate in the muscles. b) Describe how lactate (often seen as a waste product) can produce glucose via gluconeogenesis.arrow_forward
