In the light reactions, light energy is used to oxidize ____ to ____
It is easier to remove electrons and produce CO2 from compounds with three or more carbon atoms than from a two-carbon compound such as acetyl CoA.
In the oxidation of pyruvate to acetyl CoA, one carbon atom is released as CO2. However, the oxidation of the remaining two carbon atoms—in acetate—to CO2 requires a complex, eight-step pathway—the citric acid cycle. Consider four possible explanations for why the last two carbons in acetate are converted to CO2 in a complex cyclic pathway rather than through a simple, linear reaction. Use your knowledge of the first three stages of cellular respiration to determine which explanation is correct. More ATP is produced per CO2 released in cyclic processes than in linear processes. It is easier to remove electrons and produce CO2 from compounds with three or more carbon atoms than from a two-carbon compound such as acetyl CoA. Redox reactions that simultaneously produce CO2 and NADH occur only in cyclic processes. Cyclic processes, such as the citric acid cycle, require a different mechanism of ATP synthesis than linear processes, such as glycolysis.

limit movement of material between the intracristal and intermembrane spaces.
Mitochondrial crista junctions contain the mitochondrial DNA. connect thylakoid membranes. limit movement of material between the intracristal and intermembrane spaces. are associated with the movement of material from the cytosol into the intermembrane space. are large pores in the inner membrane.
Fewer protons are pumped across the inner mitochondrial membrane when FADH2 is the electron donor than when NADH is the electron donor.
NADH and FADH2 are both electron carriers that donate their electrons to the electron transport chain. The electrons ultimately reduce O2 to water in the final step of electron transport. However, the amount of ATP made by electrons from an NADH molecule is greater than the amount made by electrons from an FADH2 molecule. Which statement best explains why more ATP is made per molecule of NADH than per molecule of FADH2? There is more NADH than FADH2 made for every glucose that enters cellular respiration. The H+ gradient made from electron transport using NADH is located in a different part of the mitochondrion than the H+ gradient made using FADH2. FADH2 is made only in the citric acid cycle while NADH is made in glycolysis, acetyl CoA formation, and the citric acid cycle. Fewer protons are pumped across the inner mitochondrial membrane when FADH2 is the electron donor than when NADH is the electron donor. It takes more energy to make ATP from ADP and Pi using FADH2 than using NADH.

The rate of O2 production would remain the same because the light intensity did not change. The rate of O2 production would decrease because the rate of G3P production by the Calvin cycle would decrease. The rate of O2 production would decrease because the rate of ADP and NADP+ production by the Calvin cycle would decrease. The rate of O2 production would remain the same because the light reactions are independent of the Calvin cycle.

ATP levels would fall at first, decreasing the inhibition of PFK and increasing the rate of ATP production.
The rate of cellular respiration is regulated by its major product, ATP, via feedback inhibition. As the diagram shows, high levels of ATP inhibit phosphofructokinase (PFK), an early enzyme in glycolysis. As a result, the rate of cellular respiration, and thus ATP production, decreases. Feedback inhibition enables cells to adjust their rate of cellular respiration to match their demand for ATP. Suppose that a cell's demand for ATP suddenly exceeds its supply of ATP from cellular respiration. Which statement correctly describes how this increased demand would lead to an increased rate of ATP production? ATP levels would fall at first, decreasing the inhibition of PFK and increasing the rate of ATP production. ATP levels would rise at first, decreasing the inhibition of PFK and increasing the rate of ATP production.

Glucose utilization would increase a lot.
Under anaerobic conditions (a lack of oxygen), glycolysis continues in most cells despite the fact that oxidative phosphorylation stops, and its production of NAD+ (which is needed as an input to glycolysis) also stops. The diagram illustrates the process of fermentation, which is used by many cells in the absence of oxygen. In fermentation, the NADH produced by glycolysis is used to reduce the pyruvate produced by glycolysis to either lactate or ethanol. Fermentation results in a net production of 2 ATP per glucose molecule. During strenuous exercise, anaerobic conditions can result if the cardiovascular system cannot supply oxygen fast enough to meet the demands of muscle cells. Assume that a muscle cell's demand for ATP under anaerobic conditions remains the same as it was under aerobic conditions. What would happen to the cell's rate of glucose utilization? Glucose utilization would increase a lot. Glucose utilization would increase a little. Glucose utilization would remain the same. Glucose utilization would decrease a little.

NADH is no longer converted to NAD+, which is needed for the first three stages of cellular respiration. Oxygen is required to convert glucose to pyruvate in glycolysis. Without oxygen, no pyruvate can be made. Oxygen is an input to acetyl CoA formation.

All of the energy that would normally have gone into ATP synthesis would be liberated as heat so that mammals would be overheated. The mitochondria would not be able to produce much ATP. The organism would therefore have to depend on glycolysis for its ATP synthesis, which would almost certainly not be adequate for an organism.

Which enzyme in the TCA cycle do you suspect is affected by fluorocitrate? aconitase fumarate hydratase citrate synthase succinate dehydrogenase isocitrate dehydrogenase malate dehydrogenase succinyl CoACoA synthetase αα-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase
Glucose
Which molecule is metabolized in a cell to produce energy for performing work? Phosphate ATP ADP Glucose
crista junctions, fatty acyl CoA translocase, dicarboxylate carrier
Which molecules and/or functions (in a prokaryotic cell) are not present at all:
The ingested compound is itself not toxic, but it is converted into a lethal metabolite in vivo.
Why is this phenomenon referred to as lethal synthesis? The ingested compound disrupts intermolecular bonds between TCA intermediates. The ingested compound is itself not toxic, but it is converted into a lethal metabolite in vivo. The ingested compound is itself not toxic, but it catalyzes the formation of lethal metabolites. The ingested compound forms covalent bonds with TCA intermediates and enzymes, inactivating them.
Fluorocitrate has been characterized as the actual poison in the tissues of the animal, and one of the most pronounced of its effects is a buildup of at least one of the TCA cycle intermediates.
Why might you expect fluorocitrate to have an inhibitory effect on one or more of the TCA cycle enzymes if incubated with the purified enzymes in vitro, even though fluoroacetate has no effect? Fluorocitrate has been characterized as the actual poison in the tissues of the animal, and one of the most pronounced of its effects is a reduction of at least one of the TCA cycle intermediates. Fluorocitrate has been characterized as the actual poison in the tissues of the animal, and one of the most pronounced of its effects is a buildup of at least one of the TCA cycle intermediates. Fluorocitrate has been characterized as the actual poison in the tissues of the animal, and one of the most pronounced of its effects is a conversion of at least one of the TCA cycle intermediates into inactive form. Fluorocitrate has been characterized as the actual poison in the tissues of the animal, and one of the most pronounced of its effects is an oxidation of at least one of the TCA cycle intermediates.
