A new antibiotic is produced that inhibits the synthesis of acetyl-CoA and the electron transport chain in bacteria that normally require oxygen. For each glucose molecule that is metabolized, how many fewer ATP molecules will be produced?
38
4
36
34
2
Answer:
36
Explanation:
Glycolysis of cellular respiration produces only two molecules of ATP per glucose molecule. Kreb's cycle also forms 2 ATP molecules per glucose by substrate-level phosphorylation. However, oxidation of NADH and FADH2 by electron transport chain produces as many as 34 ATP molecules (almost 3 ATP per NADH and 2 ATP per FADH2). This obtains a total of 38 ATP molecules per glucose by the complete pathway of aerobic cellular respiration.
In presence of an antibiotic that inhibits Kreb's cycle and ETC of cellular respiration, a cell would produce only 2 ATP molecules (by glycolysis) per glucose. Therefore, it would obtain 38-2= 36 lesser ATP molecules.
Answer:
The inactive precursor to the enzyme pepsin that digests proteins in the stomach. (Ans A)
Explanation:
Pepsin is known as a digestive enzyme which is present in humans and other species digestive system. It is produced by the stomach, where it helps to digest the proteins and break down into amino acids which are present in food. In the stomach, a cell is known as a peptic or chief cell that helps to release Pepsinogen.
The Pepsinogen secreted by Chief cells is an inactive form of pepsin, on exposure to HCL (hydrochloric acid secretion from Parietal cells), gets converted to the active enzyme pepsin because HCL provides necessary acidic environments where pepsin work best. Then Pepsin hydrolyzed the proteins to polypeptide and starts protein digestion in the stomach.
I filled out a few boxes for you to start you off. I also gave you a direct research sources for some animals that will take you to the necessary information.
This is what I have so far as examples for you. Again, I said I wouldn't do all of your work for you, however, I will help you through your research and graph.
