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]2 years ago
7 0

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

How much work (in JJ) is required to expand the volume of a pump from 0.0 LL to 2.5 LL against an external pressure of 1.1 atmat
stira [4]

Answer:

- 278.85 J  

Explanation:

Given that:

Pressure = 1.1 atm

The initial volume V₁ = 0.0 L

The final volume V₂ = 2.5 L

The work that takes place in a reaction at constant pressure can be expressed by using the equation:

W = P(V₂ - V₁ )

Since the volume of the gas is expanded from 0 to 2.5 L when 1.1 atm pressure is applied. Then, the work can be given by the expression:

W = - P(V₂ - V₁ )

W = -1.1 atm ( 2.5 - 0.0) L

W = -1.1 atm (2.5 L)

W = -2.75 atm L

Recall that:

1 atm L = 101.4 J

Therefore;

-2.75 atm L = ( -2.75 × 101.4 )J

= -278.85 J  

Thus, the work required at the chemical reaction when the pressure applied is 1.1 atm  = - 278.85 J

Which place is a likely location for primary succession ​
ZanzabumX [31]
Primary succession occurs in an area that has not been previously occupied by a community. Places where primary succession occurs include newly exposed rock areas, sand dunes, and lava flows. Simple species that can tolerate the often- harsh environment become established first.

Neha and Reha are playing see-saw. Neha is sitting 60 cm away from the fulcrum and Reha is sitting 40 cm away from the fulcrum.
stich3 [128]

Answer:

Reha should apply 540 N to lift Neha.

Explanation:

L = 360 N

LD  = 60 m

E =?

ED = 40m

NOW

L * LD = E * ED

360 *60 = E*40

21600/40 = E

540 N = E
