The F_oF₁ Synthesis of ATP Depends on Delivery of Electrons

question 28

Short Answer

The F_oF₁ synthesis of ATP depends on delivery of electrons carried by NADH and FADH₂ to electron transport systems in the inner mitochondrial membrane in eukaryotic cells or in the plasma membrane of prokaryotic cells.What is the maximum number of ATPs generated for the following?
a.one molecule of FADH₂ produced during the citric acid cycle
b.one molecule of NADH produced during the citric acid cycle
c.one molecule of NADH produced by glycolysis in a muscle cell that uses the mitochondrial glycerol phosphate shuttle
d.one molecule of NADH produced by glycolysis in a liver cell using the mitochondrial malate-aspartate shuttle
e.one molecule of FADH₂ produced during the citric acid cycle in a prokaryotic cell
f.one molecule of NADH produced by glycolysis in a prokaryotic cell
