Workshop 9

a) There was 02 in the environment thus causing the creation of Acetyl CoA.

b)Mitochondria is making ATP using the Krebb Cycle/TCA cycle:
[PYR + O2 -> Acetyl CoA (2C) ]+ Oxaloacetate(4c) -> 6C Molecule
Releases Carbon in the form of CO2 and finally is back down at a 4C molecule (Oxaloacetate) which is a reactant needed for the initial equation.
+1 for cycles.

Creates the following inside the cell:
ATP
NADH
FADH
FADH2

(Too much Energy)

ETS creates proton gradient in between bilayer.
ATP Synthase needs the gradient to have dG < 0 reaction for ADP + Pi
(Sorry. If that was confusing contact Derek Crowe :) )

"in the winter your breath is like a little cloud and its cool" - Derek Crowe

c)There is still acetyl CoA in the cell and the cycle will run until there is none left.

d)The yield of ATP goes down

e) H2O

f) (5 ATP / phospholipid ) (100,00 phospholipids/ 1 cell ) = 500,000 ATPs/cell

(500,000 ATPs / cell )(1 cell / 1000 seconds) = 500 ATP / second

(500 ATP / second) (1 glucose / 2 ATP ) = 250 Glucose / second.
