BIOL 204 Lecture Notes - Lecture 32: Atp Synthase, Electrochemical Gradient, Ionophore

47 views2 pages

Document Summary

Synthesis of atp by atp synthase is coupled to etc by proton gradient (not always coupled) For each nadh that is oxidized (each pair of electrons that travels down the. For each fadh2 oxidized only 2 molecules of atp synthesized because it bypasses proton-pumping complex i. Efficiency of cellular glucose oxidation would be 32% (224/686 x 100) so. 32% of energy in glucose is converted into atp. Glycolysis substrate level phosphorylation produces: 2 molecules of nadh transported to mitochondrion. Oxidation of pyruvate: 2 nadh produced. Citric acid cycle: 2 molecules of acetyl-coa oxidized, 2 atp synthesized, 6 nadh, 2 fadh2. Electron transport chain: 3 atp produced for each nadh (10x3 = 30 atp, 2 atp produced for each fadh2 (2x2 = 4 atp) Overall: 2 atp from glycolysis, 2 atp from citric acid cycle, 34 atp from etc, total: 38 molecules made from each glucose oxidized. Supply and demand the cell does not waste valuable resources, making.
