Answer #1

the equation for the oxidation of glucose is

C6H12O6+ 6O2 \rightarrow 6CO2+ 6 H2O+ 36ATP+ heat

the oxygen is final electron acceptor, at the complex IV ( part of electron transport chain) oxygen is reduced to water using the electrons from the electron transport chain and H+ from the matrix, so the 18O will be used as the final electron acceptor and it is reduced to water so the 18O will be found in the water.

    Oxidative energy generation occurs in three stages: 1. glycolysis 2. TCA cycle 3. electron transport chain. Stage 3 is where most ATP is generated. This process is done by multi-enzyme complexes in the mitochondria (Complex I, Complex II, Complex III, Complex IV and Complex V). If a frame-shift mutation occurred in the gene encoding a protein in one of these complex, identify the one that would cause the most harm and the least harm to the function of the electron...

    a. The metabolism of glucose by glycolysis to acetyl-coenzyme A, followed by the TCA cycle, releases CO2 molecules by oxidative decarboxylation reactions. Write down the oxidative decarboxylation reactions that result in CO2 production. Name the enzyme involved in each reaction and give the names and complete structures of all reactants and products. Only abbreviated names of enzyme cofactors are required. (b) From the steps drawn in part (a) above, how many total ATP molecules would be produced from oxidative phosphorylation?
