A mitochondrial membrane complex consisting of ATP synthase, adenine nucleotide translocase (ATP-ADP translocase), and phosphate translocase functions in oxidative phosphorylation. Adenine nucleotide translocase, an antiporter located in the inner mitochondrial membrane, moves ADP into the matrix and ATP out. Phosphate translocase is also located in the inner mitochondrial membrane. It transports H ions and phosphate (H2PO4â) ions into the matrix.

6. Glucose is completely oxidized to carbon dioxide with the concomitant production of several reduced electron carrier molecules. Oxidative phosphorylation ensures the regeneration of these electron carrier molecules.

A. Cell Y is able to carry out glycolysis, citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. However, a certain mutation in ATP synthase allows the passage of H+ ions but does not produce ATP. When grown in aerobic conditions, would you expect Cell Y to generate a little less OR a little more OR the same amount of ATP as a cell that was fermenting. Explain your choice. (2.5 points)

B. Cell Z is able to carry out glycolysis, citric acid cycle and the first few steps of the oxidative phosphorylation pathway. An experiment showed that addition of Inhibitor X prevented the transfer of electrons to the last protein in the electron transfer chain and glycolysis stopped immediately, even before all the ATP was depleted. Explain this observation. (2.5 points)

2. In many cases, cellular signal transduction is mediated by a membrane-associated G-protein complex. Which is not right about this protein complex?

A) The complex is made of Î±-, Î²-, and Î³-subunit.

B) The G_sÎ±-subunit has a GTPase activity.

C) Depending on the receptor types, either G_sÎ±-subunit or G_iÎ±-subunit is used.

D) Signal transduction through G-proteins ultimately regulates protein phosphorylation.

E) None of the above.

3. Which statement is not right about the pyruvate dehydrogenase?

A) This enzyme is located in the mitochondria.

B) This enzyme consists of three different enzymatic subunits (E1, E2, and E3).

C) This enzyme catalyzes the reaction: Pyruvate + CoA + NAD Â® Acetyl-CoA + CO₂ + NADH

D) This enzyme also uses TPP (thiamine pyrophosphate), lipoic acid, and FAD as cofactors.

E) Despite its complexity, this enzyme is not an important regulation point of TCA cycle.

4. To maintain a proper rate of the TCA cycle, oxaloacetate is replenished periodically. To increase [oxaloacetate], ___X____ is turned on but the TCA cycled is turned off by phosphorylation of __Y__.

A) X = Glyoxylate cycle :::::: Y = isocitrate dehydrogenase

B) X = Glyoxylate cycle :::::: Y = isocitrate lyase

C) X = Q cycle :::::: Y = isocitrate dehydrogenase

D) X = Q cycle :::::: Y = isocitrate lyase

E) None of the above.

5. Assume you have three NADH and one FADH₂. Calculate the total numbers of H⁺ pumped into the inter-membrane space and the maximal number of ATP produced inside the matrix.

A) 40 H⁺ and 12 ATP
B) 40 H⁺ and 11 ATP
C) 36 H⁺ and 12 ATP

D) 36 H⁺ and 11 ATP
E) None of the above.

5. Almost all of the oxygen (O2) one consumes in breathing is converted to: a. acetyl-CoA. b. carbon dioxide (CO2). c. carbon monoxide and then to carbon dioxide. d. none of the above. e. water.

6. A new compound isolated from mitochondria is claimed to represent a previously unrecognized carrier in the electron transfer chain. It is given the name coenzyme Z. Which line of evidence do you feel is the least conclusive in assigning this compound a position in the electron transfer chain? a. Alternate oxidation and reduction of the mitochondrion-bound coenzyme Z can be readily demonstrated. b. Removal of coenzyme Z from the mitochondria results in a decreased rate of oxygen consumption. c. The rate of oxidation and reduction of mitochondrion-bound coenzyme is of the same order of magnitude as the overall rate of electron transfer in mitochondria as measured by oxygen consumption. d. The reduction potential of Z is between that of two compounds known to participate in the electron transport chain e. When added to a mitochondrial suspension, coenzyme Z is taken up very rapidly and specifically by the mitochondria.

7. Which of the following is not true of the citric acid cycle? a. All enzymes of the cycle are located in the cytoplasm, except succinate dehydrogenase, which is bound to the inner mitochondrial membrane. b. In the presence of malonate, one would expect succinate to accumulate. c. Oxaloacetate is used as a substrate but is not consumed in the cycle. d. Succinate dehydrogenase channels electrons directly into the electron transfer chain. e. The condensing enzyme is subject to allosteric regulation by ATP and NADH.

8. Conversion of 1 mol of acetyl-CoA to 2 mol of CO2 and CoA via the citric acid cycle results in the net production of: a. 1 mol of citrate. b. 1 mol of FADH2. c. 1 mol of NADH. d. 1 mol of oxaloacetate. e. 7 mol of ATP.
