Document Summary
9:09 am mitochondrion intermembrane matrix glucose has alternate fates (other than pyruvate) -> make pentoses (e. g. d-ribose for nucleic acids) -> make other intermediates as well (e. g. g3p) Beta oxidation some atp used to prime the fat molecules (just like for glucose metabolism) is amp supposed to be adp? you generate acetyl coa that can go into citric acid cycle n = # carbons. Example: some yeast growing on glucose can mix aerobic and anaerobic metabolism. They consume oxygen and produce ethanol simu ltaneously when oxygen supply is restricted. A cell population consumes 5 mmol/l/h glucose and 20 mmol/l/h of o 2. Calculate the rates of ethanol and atp production. In reality, approximating fadh2 to have same efficiency as nadh, even though it really is less efficient. Aa = acetaldehyde just tracking which molecules are directly relevant to our processbut writing them all out reaction 1: P, aa reaction 3: aa + nadh+h+ --> etoh + nad+
