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

allochka39001 [22]

Answer: the longitude line rotates with Earth, 360 degrees in 24 hours.

Explanation: In the old days, the position of the sun was used to tell which time of the day it is. But more modern findings, has shown that the longitude line matters too.
