youre going to calculate the ATPs generated by one molecule of glucose. glycolysis and the CAC produce metabolites that fuel oxidative phosphorylation. using the bullets below, calculate how many protons will be pumped into the mitochondrial intermembrane space by processing each of the relavant metabolites through oxidative phosphorylation. assuming ATP synthase has 10 subunits making the mobile transmembrane portion of the structure, how many ATPs will be synthesized using these protons? finally use these values to calculate how many ATPs are generated from one molecules of glucose.

Each 360-degree rotation of the ATP Synthase ĂŽÂł subunit leads to the synthesis and release of three molecules of ATP. Thus, if there are 10 c subunits in the ring (as was observed in a crystal structure of yeast mitochondrial ATP synthase), each ATP generated requires the transport of 10/3 = 3.33 protons. Using this information, and what you know about the electron transport chain, calculate exactly how much ATP would be generated from the anaerobic oxidation of one molecule of glucose. Assume all NADH and FADH2 produced enter the electron transport chain. Estimate to the second decimal place. 2. It cannot always be assumed that all NADH and FADH2 enter the electron transport chain. Give an example where this is not the case, and how it would limit ATP production.

We calculated that theoretical maximum energy yield from the complete oxidation of one glucose molecule is the equivalent of 37.6 ATP molecules. Of these, how many are generated by substrate-level phosphorylation and where? Four, two in the citric acid cycle and two in the ATP synthase complex Two, one each in the cytoplasm and the citric acid cycle Four, two in the cytoplasm and two in the ATP synthase complex Two, in the cytoplasm Four, two in the cytoplasm and two in the citric acid cycle
