Question

east, ethanol is produced from glucose under anaerobic conditions. What is the maximum amount of etnanol (in millimoles) that could theoretically be produced under the following conditions? A cell-free yeast extract is placed in a solution that contains 275 mmol glucose, 0.40 mmol ADP 0.40 mmol Pi, 0.80 mmol ATP, 0.20 mmol NAD and 0.20 mmol NADH. It is kept under anaerobic conditions Number mmol Under the same conditions, what is the theoretical minimum amount of glucose (in millimoles) required in solution form the maximum amount ethanol? Number mmol Tools x 10

Explanation / Answer

Maximum amount of ethanol that could be theoretically produced would be,

= 0.4 mmol

theretical minimum amount of glucose required in the solution to form the maximum amount of ethanol is,

= 0.2 mmol
