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

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

A container with a volume 2. 0 L is filled with a gas at a pressure of 1. 5 atm. By decreasing the volume of the container to 1.
worty [1.4K]

The resulting pressure of the gas after decreasing the initial volume from 2 L to 1 L is 3 atm.

<h3>What is Boyle's Law?</h3>

According to the Boyle's Law at constant temperature, pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume of that gas.

For the given question we use the below equation is:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂, where

P₁ = initial pressure of gas = 1.5 atm

V₁ = initial volume of gas = 2 L

P₂ = final pressure of gas = ?

V₂ = final volume of gas = 1 L

On putting all these values on the above equation, we get

P₂ = (1.5atm)(2L) / (1L) = 3 atm

Hence required pressure of the gas is 3 atm.
