Imаgine thаt the Cаlvin cycle оf phоtоsynthesis and the Krebs cycle of cellular respiration were merged into a single metabolic pathway inside one organelle (we’ll call it the "metaboplast"). In this system, the stroma and matrix are fused into one compartment, and the enzymes of both cycles share the same pool of substrates. Design a theoretical model of how this "metaboplast" could function. In your response, consider: 1) How carbon atoms would move through the combined cycle, and whether intermediates like RuBP and oxaloacetate could coexist or compete. 2) How ATP and NADPH/NADH requirements would be balanced, and whether one cycle could drive the other. 3) How reducing power (NADPH vs. NADH vs. FADH₂) would be allocated, and whether electron transport chains would need to be modified. 4) How membranes and compartments would need to be arranged to prevent conflicting gradients or futile cycles. 5) Evaluate whether such a hybrid organelle could theoretically sustain both anabolic (glucose synthesis) and catabolic (glucose breakdown) processes without self-canceling.
