ATP is a molecule that helps supply enough energy to perform active transport. Without it, the molecules in the cell cannot diffuse across the cell because there isn't enough energy.

What if the mitochondria no longer functioned?

Even if the mitochondria is gone, the cell still can make energy. However, the cell can only make 2 ATPs at a time by going through glycolysis, while the mitochondria can make 36 or sometimes 38 ATPs. Because the number can drastically drop, your energy level will fall sharply.


Calculate the number of atps generateed from one saturated 16-carbon fatty acid assume that each nadh molecule generates 2.5 atps and that each fadh2 molecule generates 1.5 atps?

From one saturated 16-carbon fatty acid, beta-oxidation produces 7 NADH and 7 FADH2 molecules. Therefore, 7 NADH x 2.5 ATPs/NADH = 17.5 ATPs and 7 FADH2 x 1.5 ATPs/FADH2 = 10.5 ATPs, resulting in a total of 28 ATPs generated.


How many atps are released in respiration?

A net total of 36-38 ATPs are released during aerobic respiration, while only 2 ATPs are released during anaerobic respiration.


What do you invest in glycolysis?

2 ATPs


Why is lactic acid fermentation important to the cell when oxygen is scared?

It allows for the production of two ATPs without the use of oxygen, and it restores NAD+ so it can be used during glycolysis.
