ANSWERS FOR FINAL EXAM REVIEW

1 Fats are more reduced. They have more H's on carbons and less oxygen and so can produce more reduced coenzymes per molecule of fat.

2. 130

3. H2PO4 - and HPO4 2 -

4 O2 + 4 H+ + 4 e - ---> 2 H2O

5. Saturated fat has more hydrogen, produces more NADH. 6. 12

7. Breakdown vs. buildup; e.g., glycolysis/glycogen formation

8. ATP is synthesized in the mitochondrion from ADP and Pi .

9. The final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain is O2 .

10. Glycolysis. Lactic acid accumulation.

11. ATP, NADH, FAD, DNA, RNA

12. ATP > ADP; NADH > NAD+

13. Metabolism is too dependent on fats. Possible impairment of glucose utilization as in diabetes

14. Broken membrane prevents existence of H+ gradient which ios the driving force in ATP synthesis.

15. It can still produce limited amounts of ATP
