Answer the following questions using you book, the slides or any other source you would like.1) Make as much ATP as you can with one molecule of glucose (complete breakdown)a) Where in the cell did these reactions occur?In the Mitochondria. ATP synthesis occurs in cellular respiration within the mitochondrial matrix.Generating approximately 32 ATP molecules per molecule of glucose that is oxidized.b) Which reactions used ATP and what kind of reactions are they?HexokinasePhosphofructokinasec) Which specific reactions produced ATP and what kind of reactions are these?PhosphoglyceratePyruvate Kinased)What powers the formation of ATP by the enzyme ATP synthase?This is the difference between H+ on opposite sides of the inner mitochondrial membrane.e)How does ATP synthase make ATP? I.e. What is the mechanism of this motor enzymeATP synthase forms ATP from adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and an inorganic phosphate (Pi)through oxidative phosphorylation. This is the process in which enzymes oxidize nutrients toform ATP.f) How efficient was the process?i) How efficient would it be if you stopped at the end of glycolysis?It is not efficient, because all of cellular respiration is only about 38% efficient when 36molecules of ATP are generated from each molecule of glucose. Since there is a net gain ofonly 2 molecules of ATP during glycolysis the efficiency is hypothetically only
