Rubisco's Oxygenase Activity Decreases Photosynthetic Efficiency

-The primary reaction catalyzed by rubsico is the addition of CO2 and H2O to ribulose-1, 5-bisphosphate, forming two 3-phosphoglycerate -At high oxygen levels rubisco can add oxygen rather than CO2 --- result is phosphoglycolate (not used in the Calvin cycle; wasteful)

V-type transport ATPase

-V for vacuole membrane: vacuolar membrane, lysosomes, secretory vesicles organism: animals, plants, fungi function: uses H, keeps pH low that activates hydrolytic enzymes

aerobic conditions

-in the presence of oxygen, many organisms convert pyruvate to an activated form of acetate known as Acetyl-CoA. In this reaction, pyruvate is both oxidized (with NAD⁺ being reduced to NADH) and decarboxylated (liberation of a carbon atom as CO₂). Acetyl-CoA then becomes the substrate for aerobic respiration, where NADH is oxidized back to NAD⁺ by molecular oxygen

coenzyme oxidation pumps enough protons to form 3 ATP molecules per NADH and 2 ATP molecules per FADH₂

-the transfer of 2 electrons from NADH is accompanied by the pumping of a total of 10 protons, 12 if the Q cycle is operating -the number of protons required per molecule of ATP is thought to be 3 or 4, with 3 regarded as most likely

glycolysis phase 3: pyruvate generation and the second ATP generation event

-the two 3-phosphoglycerate molecules are converted to pyruvate, with accompanying synthesis of 2 more ATP molecules, resulting in a net gain of 2 ATP per glucose -Steps GLY8-GLY10

𝜟G of inward transport

-the 𝜟G of inward transport simplifies to 𝜟G = +RT ln [S] inside / [S] outside -if [S] inside < [S] outside, 𝜟G is negative and the transport is exergonic -but, if [S] inside > [S] outside, 𝜟G is positive and transport is against the concentration gradient

the chemiosmotic model involves dynamic transmembrane proton traffic

-there is continuous, dynamic 2-way proton traffic across the inner membrane -NADH sends 10 protons across via complexes I, III, and IV; FADH₂ sends 6 across, via complexes II, III, IV -assuming that 3 protons must return thru F₀ F₁ per ATP generated, this means 3 ATP per NADH and 2 per FADH₂ are generated

bundle sheath cells

Leaf structure of C4 plants:

-two types of photosynthetic cells in their leaves (mesophyll and bundle sheath) -carbon assimilation in a C4 plant uses 5 ATP rather than the 3 used in C3 plants -when temp. exceed about 30deg.C, the efficiency of a C4 plant may be twice that of a C3 plant -C4 plants are also less affected by conditions of low [CO2}

ATP synthase

anaerobic conditions

-when oxygen is absent pyruvate is reduced so that NADH can be oxidized to NAD⁺, the form of this coenzyme required in Reaction GLY6 of glycolysis. Common products of pyruvate reduction are lactate (in most animal cells and many bacteria) or ethanol and CO₂ (in many plant cells and in yeast and other microorganisms).

the citric acid cycle

-with each round of the citric acid cycle, 2 carbons atoms, acetyl CoA, enter in organic form as acetate and leave in inorganic form as carbon dioxide -8 formal reactions in the cycle

summing up the TCA

1. 2 C enter the cycle as acetyl CoA 2. decarboxylation occurs at 2 steps to balance the input of 2 C by releasing CO₂ 3. oxidation occurs at 4 steps, with NAD⁺ the electron acceptor in 3 steps and FAD in 1 step 4. ATP is generated at one point 5. one turn of the cycle is completed as oxaloacetate is regenerated

Na⁺ / K⁺ Pump conformation steps

1. 3 Na⁺ from inside the cell bind to E₁ 2. Na⁺ binding triggers autophosphorylation of the α subunit using ATP, ADP released 3. conformational change to E₂ expels 3 Na⁺ to outside of cell 4. 2 K⁺ from outside cell bind to E₂ 5.
