If the energetic cost to make ATP is +30 kJ/mol, estimate how much ATP can be made by reducing nitrate with lactate.
Added by Becky L.
Step 1
The reduction of nitrate to nitrite (NO2-) can be represented as: \[ \text{NO}_3^- + 2 \text{e}^- + 2 \text{H}^+ \rightarrow \text{NO}_2^- + \text{H}_2\text{O} \] Show more…

Some anaerobic prokaryotes use nitrate $\left(\mathrm{NO}_{3}^{-}\right)$ as the terminal electron acceptor for energy metabolism. Assuming $100 \%$ efficiency, how much ATP could be synthesized by the oxidation of NADH by nitrate?
Electron transfer in the ETC may be represented by the net equation: NADH + H+ + 1/2 O2 ↔ H2O + NAD+ and the following reduction potentials: NAD+/NADH = -0.320 V and 1/2 O2/H2O = 0.816 V. How many ATP molecules can theoretically be generated by this reaction if the free energy of ATP synthesis is 30.5 kJ/mol?

How much ATP would a cell produce when using anaerobic respiration with nitrate of a 7 mM glucose solution? Assume 2.8 ATPs are produced per NADH and 1.9 ATP per FADH2. In your answer total up all the NADH and FADH2 (if any) and all the ATP produced by Substrate Level Phosphorylation (SLP) and Oxidative Phosphorylation (OP). NADH FADH2 OP ATP SLP ATP Total ATP
