3.Respiration is related to how cells balance redox reactions in the metabolic pathway. It can be aerobic if thereis plenty of oxygen present or anaerobic if not. In class, we discussed the respiratory quotient for triolein as acarbon source.A. Calculate the respiratory quotient (RQ) for aerobic oxidation of the triglyceride formed by glycerin and threestearic acids (tristearin). Draw the structure and write the stoichiometrically balanced equation for thecomplete breakdown of the triglyceride by oxidation to CO₂ and water.B. As in part A, draw the structure of sucrose, write the stoichiometrically balanced equation and determine theRQ for it's metabolic breakdown to CO₂ and water.C. Anaerobic respiration occurs when cells operate without dissolved oxygen. List at least 4 different chemicalsthat act as electron acceptors when oxygen is not present.

The respiratory quotient (RQ) is a measure of the ratio of carbon dioxide produced to oxygen…

. Because of the position of arsenic in the periodic table, arsenate (AsO}-) is chemically similar to inorganic phosphate and is used by phosphate-requiring enzymes as an alternative substrate. However, organic arsenates are quite unstable and spontaneously hydrolyze. Arsenate is known to inhibit ATP production in glycolysis. Identify the target enzyme, and explain the mechanism of inhibition.
