How can you determine whether glucose added to a
suspension of isolated mitochondria is metabolized to CO2 and
H2O?
For this you have to add something which can differentiate themselves when they are releasing. For this you can add radioactive elements in the initial substrate.
Experiment 1- you can add radioactive glucose having radioactive carbon- 14 . And look for Carbon dioxide evolved. You will found that CO2 evolved during carbon dioxide is radioactively bound which will helps in determination of carbon dioxide during mitochondrial respiration. If radioactive CO2 is released, it means glucose release this CO2.
Experiment 2- For water determination, you should use radioactive oxygen -26 in glucose and then look after respiration. Whether radioactive oxygen is evolved or not. If radioactive H2O is evolved means glucose release Water
Experiment 3- Use both radioactive element in one glucose sugar. Then find results. In this way, you can find whether glucose is responsible for H2O and CO2 emission or not. If both have radioactive nature then it means glucose take participate in releasing H2O and CO2.

If 14C-labeled acetyl CoA is added to isolated mitochondria, is 14C-labeled CO2 released in the first full cycle of the citric acid cycle? Explain your answer.
In an experiment, a suspension of mitochondria was added to a phosphate-buffered solution containing B-hyrdroxybutyrate, which can be oxidized by mitochondria to generate NADH+H+. After an initial rapid burst, O2 consumption slowed to a background rate. When the rate of O2 consumption stabilized, ADP was added, causing a rapid increase in O2 consumption, until all ADP was converted to ATP, at which point O2 consumption slowed to background rate. Why is there an initial rapid burst of O2 consumption? Why...
3. Glucose, CaHi20%, is readily metabolized in the body. a. Write a balanced equation for the mctabolism of C&H1z0s to CO2 and H:O b. Calculate AG metabolism for glucose. Given AGP kJ mol Substance CO2(g) 394.4 -237.2 0.00 -917 c. If AH for this process is -2801.3 kJ, calculate AS" at 25 °C. d. One step in the utilization of encrgy in cells is the synthesis of ATP from ADP AG 30.5 kJ/mol and HaPO i. Calculate the cquilibrium constant,...
How much glucose (in g) must be metabolized to completely evaporate 1.00 g of water at 37 °C, given that ∆cHglucose = -2803.00 kJ mol-1? In other words how much glucose is needed to evaporate water at 37 °C where the vapour is at 37 °C too. For H2O(l) at 100 °C ∆vH = 40.67 kJ mol-1; Cp(H2O(l)) = 75.3 J mol-1 K-1; Cp(H2O(g)) = 33.6 J mol-1 K-1. (Previous post are wrong, please specify step by step) 5.89g 6.47g...
1. You are studying an in vitro suspension of mitochondria that does not contain any NADH. You run the experiment in a closed system with a set amount of oxygen; no new oxygen is introduced. (15pts) On the graph below, show the effect of adding fixed amounts of the following compounds at various times: • Time 1: ADP + Pi • Time 2: succinate (or any oxidizable substrate) • Time 3: oligomycin, an inhibitor of ATP synthase • Time 4:...
Compare/contrast how you think these sugars below would be metabolized by yeast. Be sure to explain your reasoning refering to their MOLECULAR STRUCTURES (talk about functional groups). Glucose Sucrose Maltose Lactose Starch
transformed eukaryotic cells utilize glucose at a higher rater than normal cells. you have isolated two transformed cell lines (a and b) and incubate cell homogenates with glucose labeled with C14 in the 1,3,4, or 6 positions to measure the initial rates of the radioactive labeled CO2 production. If cell line A metabolizes glucose primarily by the HMP shunt, and cell line B metabolizes glucose primarily by glycolysis, what will be the pattern of the radimetrically labeled CO2 formation from...
A prominent scientist claims to have isolated mutant cells that can convert 1 molecule of glucose into 57 molecules of ATP. Should this discovery be celebrated, or do you suppose that something might be wrong with it?
In a "pulse chase" experiment under anaerobic conditions, 14C glucose is added to an ethanol-producing yeast cell extract just long enough that each intermediate in the ethanol fermentation is labeled with a 14C (pulse). The 14C label is then diluted so that no additional radioactivity is incorporated into the intermediates (chase). 1. What position in ethanol will be labeled with 14C if 14C-glucose labeled at position C-1 is used? 2. Where should the 14C label sit in glucose for it...
