Suppose NAD is unavailable because NADH cannot be oxidized due to a mutation in the NADH dehydrogenase (Complex I). If FAD could

substitute for all NAD , how would this affect the total ATP produced by the complete oxidation of glucose
Chemistry

Dovator [93]3 years ago

Answer:

FAD substitution will produce 28 ATP instead of 36.

Explanation:

NAD and FAD are coenzymes involved in reversible oxidation and reduction reactions. These compounds are also known as electron carriers. However NADH produce 3 electrons in electron transport chain and FADH2 produce 2 electron beacuase it transfer the electrons to second complex in ETC.

Normal prduction of ATP from glucose;

2 cytoplasmic NADH formed in glycolysis         Each yields 2 ATP   +4

2 NADH formed in the oxidation of pyruvate Each yields 3 ATP         +6

2 FADH2 formed in the citric acid cycle         Each yields 2 ATP         +4

6 NADH formed in the citric acid cycle             Each yields 3 ATP         +18

2 ATP from glycolysis                                                                                   +2  

2 ATP from citric acid cycle                                                                          +2                            

                                                                    Net yield ATP +36

C6H12O6 + 6 CO2 + 36 ADP + 36 Pi ⇒6 CO2 + 6 H2O + 36 ATP

If we replace the NAD with FAD the total ATP production would be.

2 cytoplasmic FADH2 formed in glycolysis          Each yields 2 ATP            +4

2 FADH2 formed in the oxidation of pyruvate   Each yields 3 ATP    +4

2 FADH2 formed in the citric acid cycle            Each yields 2 ATP    +4

6 FADH2 formed in the citric acid cycle                  Each yields 2 ATP   +12

2 ATP from glycolysis                                                                                    

+2

2 ATP from citric acid cycle                                                                            +2

                                                                  <u>Net yield ATP +28</u>

C6H12O6 + 6 CO2 + 28ADP + 28 Pi ⇒6 CO2 + 6 H2O + 28 ATP

Which wind blows cool air toward the sea at night ?
alexira [117]

Answer:

Land breeze is the wind that blows cool air from land towards sea at night.

Explanation:

Land breeze is a type of wind which is cool and blows towards sea. It occurs due to the difference in the temperature of water and land. At night, the lands cool quickly due to the removal of heat from it. So the air that is present on land is cool down and this air moves towards sea. So this breez is called land breeze because it moves from land.

If a bullet travels at 407.0 m/s, what is its speed in miles per hour? Number click to edit mi/h For the same bullet travelling
kaheart [24]

Answer : The speed in miles per hour is 22 mile/hr.

The speed in yard per min is 26617.8 yard/min

Explanation :

The conversion used for meters to miles is:

1m=100cm\times \frac{1in}{2.54cm}\times \frac{1ft}{12in}\times \frac{1mile}{5280ft}

The conversion used for second to hour is:

1s=\frac{1}{60}min\times \frac{1hr}{60min}

The conversion used for meter per second to mile per hour is:

1\frac{m}{s}=\frac{100cm\times \frac{1in}{2.54cm}\times \frac{1ft}{12in}\times \frac{1mile}{5280ft}}{\frac{1}{60}min\times \frac{1hr}{60min}}

As we are given the speed of 407.0 meter per second. Now we have to determine the speed in miles per hour.

1m/s=2.2mile/hr

So, 407.0m/s=\frac{2.2mile/hr}{1m/s}\times 407.0m/s=895.4mile/hr

Therefore, the speed in miles per hour is 22 mile/hr.

The conversion used for meter to yard

1m = 1.09 yard

The conversion used for second to hour is:

1s=\frac{1}{60}min

The conversion used for meter per second to mile per hour is:

1m/s=\frac{1.09yard}{frac{1}{60min}}

1m/s=65.4yard/min

As we are given the speed of 407.0 meter per second. Now we have to determine the speed in yards per min

1m/s=65.4yard/min

So, 407.0m/s=\frac{65.4yard/min}{1m/s}\times 407.0m/s=26617.8yard/min

Therefore, the speed in yard per min is 26617.8 yard/min

A gas occupies a volume of 650.0 mL when the pressure is 3.50 atm. What will the new volume be if the pressure is reduced to 1.6
Gemiola [76]

The new volume will be 1379 mL.

Explanation:

As per Boyle's law, the product of initial volume and initial pressure of any gas molecule is equal to the product of final volume and final pressure of those molecules.

So here the initial volume is 650 ml and the initial pressure is 3.50 atm. As the temperature is said to be constant, then this system will be obeying Boyle's law. So, the final pressure is given as 1.65 atm. As there is a reduction in the pressure, the volume of the gas is tend to get expanded.

P_{1} V_{1} = P_{2} V_{2}

So, (650*10^{-3}*3.50)=(1.65*V_{2})

V_{2} = \frac{650*10^{-3}*3.50}{1.65} = 1379 mL

So, the new volume of the gas on reduction in pressure is 1379 mL.
