ATP synthase

9.1 Catabolic pathways yield energy by oxidizing organic fuels Catabolic pathways and production of ATP Fermentation - occurs without O2, is partial degradation of sugars to release energy Aerobic respiration - uses O2 in breakdown of glucose (or other energy-rich organic compounds) to yield CO2 and H2O and release energy as ATP and heat Of some prokaryotes - doesn’t use O2 as a reactant but it 's a similar process Cellular respiration - usually used to refer to aerobic process Is…

injection. However, not all are created equally; one drug diet pill known as dinitrophenol (DNP) is a synthetic chemical compound which can achieve weight loss and melt fat but it comes at a costly price which is to destroy the body’s ability to produce ATP and disrupt the energy generation in cells (Bodach par.…

Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) is a nucleic acid present in organisms with the primary function of providing energy. It is comprised of three phosphate groups with one adenosine attached and releases energy by being hydrolysed into Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP), therefore one bond is broken and a phosphate molecule is lost. ATP can only be reproduced through phosphorylation which results in the addition of one phosphate to Adenosine Diphosphate. ATP must be regenerated in order to allow an organism…

Fructose-6-phosphate can also be harvested by fructose phosphorylation with the assistance of fructokinase enzyme. Furthermore, fructose-6-phosphate is phosphorylated by ATP under phosphofructokinase and Mg2+, as a consequence producing fructose-1,6-diphosphate, which further splits up enzymatically to form one molecule each of 3-carbon compounds, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (GAP or PGAL) and dihydroxyacetone 3-phosphate…

necessitate the modification of primary metabolism (Bolton, 2009). Some observation showed that infection of citrus canker bacteria and other pathogen infection decreased the expression of sugar-regulated photosynthetic genes such as Rubisco and ATP synthase and also increase NADH dehydrogenase support the case for a reduction in photosynthetic…

pancreas but insulin also helps glucose get transported into the cells (Quesada et al., 2008). The body uses glucose as a primary source of energy through a variety of metabolic reactions. Glucose is a sugar that gets broken down through glycolysis into ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) inside of the cell (Stanfield, 2013). When there is an excess of glucose, the liver converts it to glycogen through a process called glycogenesis (Gebel, 2012). After we eat there is a high level of sugar in our…

The innermost compartment, surrounded by the inner membrane, is the mitochondrial matrix(pH 7.9-8)The high pH of the mitochondrial matrix creates the trans-membrane electrochemical gradient that drives ATP synthesis The mitochondrial matrix is the site of organellar DNA replication, transcription, protein biosynthesis and numerous enzymatic reactions. Mitochondrial DNA is compacted by the mitochondrial transcription factor TFAM into supramolecular assemblies…

Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) is the body’s main source of chemical energy. It is produced by breaking down nutrients such as glucose, fatty acids and proteins, which are all found in food. At the start of the race, anaerobic pathways are used to provide a quick source of energy. Most of this energy is derived from the catabolism of fats. Since lipids are more reduced than carbohydrates, they are capable of storing more energy per unit weight. Triacylglycerols are the lipids used for energy…

produce 22 ATP (11 * 2) - 11 NADH, which will produce 33 ATP (11 * 3) • 12 acetyl groups will go through the citric acid cycle and produce - 12 FADH2, which will produce 24 ATP (12 * 2) - 36 NADH, which will produce 108 ATP (36 * 3) - 12 ATP Total ATP produced is: = 22 + 33 + 24 + 108 + 12 = 199 – 2 (2 ATPS were invested) = 197 Therefore, the total number of ATP produced from one molecule of tetracosanoic (lignoceric) acid is 197. 3. Comparing Energy Yields • Stachyose = 144 ATP …
