The standard free energy change for ATP hydrolysis is -7.3kcal/mol. The free energy change under typical cellular conditions is about -12kcal/mol. Why is there a difference? O The hydrolysis of ATP must be more difficult in the cellular environment O There is more ATP and less ADP in the cell O The cellular environment is anaerobic so O2 levels are reduced O The enzymes involved in the reaction are trapped in organelles

(V) H₂O 2 +0.82 FADH2 2 -0.22 Faraday's constant is 96.48 kJ mol-1 V-1. Electron transfer from NADH or FADH2 to oxygen generates a proton gradient across the mitochondrial membrane. Electrons from NADH result in more protons being pumped across to form the gradient than electrons from FADH2. Calculate the free energy change, AG", for the reduction of O2 with FADH2. Round your answer to the nearest whole number. AG° = kJ mol-1

Propose that you have discovered a new ATP synthase from the mitochondrion of an organism onthe planet X. You found that the mitochondrion from this newly discovered organism has exactly thesame electron transport chain as human beings. In addition, this newly discovered ATP synthase hassimilar subunit composition and arrangements as human beings, excepting that such newlydiscovered ATP synthase contain 6 c-subunits. Theoretically, the P/O ratio for the oxidation of FADH2 to water in this organism is: 1 1.5 2 2.5 3 3.5 None of the above Need more information Which statement is NOT true about the transport of ATP across the inner mitochondrial membraneon its way to the cytosol? The transport causes the loss of a net charge of -1 in the matrix. It is accomplished by adenine nucleotide translocase. The same enzyme that transports ATP also transport ADP in the opposite direction. It is complexed with Mg2+ to reduce the draw on the electrical part of the protonmotive force.
The standard free energy of hydrolysis of inorganic polyphosphate (polyP) is about −20 kJ/mol for each Pi released.
