Complex I Complex II Complex III Complex IV ATP synthase
ATP SYNTHASE
The following processes result in either the “Production of ATP" or in the “Consumption of ATP”. Put each of the following into the appropriate category.
- Fructose-6-phosphate forms Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate Consumption of ATP
- Oxidative phosphorylation Production of ATP
- Glucose forms two pyruvates Production of ATP
- Pyruvate forms acetyl-CoA Production of ATP
- NH4+ is made into urea Consumption of ATP
In human cells, amino acids are degraded to ammonium NH4+ and carbon skeletons. How is the nitrogen then further processed and excreted from these cells?
Nitrogen is processed separately from carbon and oxygen, in the urea cycle. The urea cycle is a four-step cyclic process that converts NH4+ to urea, which is then excreted from the body. Once the NH4+ is removed, it

is acted upon in the mitochondria by an enzyme, carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 1, that synthesizes carbamoyl-phosphate. The carbamoyl phosphate enters the cytosol and continue through the three further steps of the urea cycle producing urea. The urea, containing two atoms of nitrogen, is then excreted.
Describe at least three properties of carbon that permit it to be the basis of life.
**1. Carbon can form sable covalent bonds with a variety of different elements.
- Besides, carbon can form double and triple bonds with other carbon atoms and other elements (N and o).
- Carbon can form long chains by forming numerous carbon-carbon bonds; we call these large molecules polymer.
- Lastly, carbon can form cyclic structures, which are also called ring compounds.**
Which types of molecules are most likely to be present in membranes?
Phosphoglycerides, sphingolipids, cholesterol, and proteins are all found in the membrane. These molecules are all loosely associated with each other as described by the fluid mosaic model of the cellular membrane. They form a membrane bilayer.
A group of molecules forms a clathrate in water. What is a clathrate and why does it form?
