Summary Introduction

To predict:

The sequence of electron carriers such as ubiquinone, cytochrome aa3, cytochrome b, NADH, cytochrome c, and FAD in the membrane of an organism growing aerobically by using the data of Figure 3.10 in the text book.

Concept introduction:

An oxidation is a process in which electrons are removed from a substance whereas, in reduction process, electrons are added to the substance. The combination of these processes is termed as redox (oxidation-reduction) reaction.

Explanation of Solution

The electron transport chain consists of carriers of protons and electrons, which facilitate their transfer from a primary electron donor to a molecule that acts as the terminal acceptor.

The differences in the redox reaction can be identified by comparing the standard reduction potential (E0). If E0 of the substance is more negative than the other, it is identified that it undergoes reduction and if E0 of the substance is more positive, that means it accepts electron and undergoes an oxidation process.

The sequence of electron carriers in the membrane of an organism growing aerobically and the following electron carriers produced as follows:

TOM A given enzyme is able to utilize five different substrates. The Km's have measured for each substrate. Which substrate is most likely the biochemi relevant one in the cell? In other words, which one is most likely the pred vivo substrate for this enzyme? (Choose the one best answer). Substrate 1 with KM= 4.7 × 10-1 M. Substrate 2 with Km = 1.5 × 10-2 M. Substrate 3 with KM = 1.5 x 10-8 M. × Substrate 4 with Km= 4.7 × 10-³ M Substrate 5 with KM = 4. 7 × 10-5 M
Photosynthesis and aerobic cellular respiration both rely on electron transport chains to generate ATP. Which of the following does not correctly identify similarities and differences in the ETCs of these processes?    a) Electrons delivered to the ETC are used to generate a proton gradient across the membrane b) In photosynthesis, the facilitated diffusion of protons across the membrane generates ATP and glucose molecules; in cellular respiration, this process generates ATP c) In photosynthesis, electrons are delivered to the ETC by NADPH; in cellular respiration, electrons are delivered to the ETC by NADH and FADH2 d) In prokaryotes, active transport moves protons across the cell’s plasma membrane during photosynthesis and cellular respiration
Indicate whether the statement is true for aerobic respiration, photosynthesis or both: The transfer of electrons via redox reactions is coupled to the movement of protons from one side of the membrane to the other a)Aerobic Respiration b)Photosynthesis c)Both
