At which step, glycolysis reaches the break-even point: 2
molecules of ATP consumed, and 2 new molecules synthesized?
1. | Splitting of fructose-6-phosphate into two trioses |
2. | Conversion of 1,3 bi-phosphoglycerate to 3 phosphoglycerate |
3. | Conversion of GADP to 1,3 biphosphoglycerate |
4. | Conversion of DHAP to GADP |
Under which condition would you expect the mitochondrial proton gradient to be highest and therefore ATP synthesis to proceed?
1. pyruvate (present)-oxygen (present)-ATP levels (high)
2. pyruvate (present)-oxygen (present)-ATP levels (low)
3. pyruvate (present)-oxygen (absent)-ATP levels (high)
4. pyruvate (absent)-oxygen (present)-ATP levels (low)
Plants can get along without respiratory organs because of the following except:
1. | Each plant part takes care of its own gas exchange needs |
2. | Plants do not present great demands for gas exchange. |
3. | Gas diffusion in plants occurs easily over long distances in plants. |
4. | Each living cell in a plant is located quite close to the surface of the plant. |
Sucrose is converted into glucose and fructose by the enzyme:
1. Maltase
2. Zymase
3. Isomerase
4. Invertase
The maximum concentration of alcohol in beverages that are naturally fermented is:
1. 5 - 10%
2. 10 - 15%
3. 20 - 25%
4. 45 - 50%
The co-factor required for the activity of pyruvate dehydrogenase is:
1. Zinc
2. Magnesium
3. Manganese
4. Copper
In the mitochondrial electron transport system, the term Complex III refers to:
1. NADH dehydrogenase
2. Cytochrome c
3. FADH2
4. Cytochrome bc1 complex
For each ATP produced, how many H passes through F0 from the intermembrane space to the matrix down the electrochemical proton gradient?
1. 1
2. 2
3. 3
4. 4
If fatty acids were to be respired, they would first be degraded to:
1. Glucose-6 phosphate
2. Pyruvate
3. Acetyl-CoA
4. Alpha ketoglutarate
In the absence of oxygen, the primary purpose of fermentation is to:
1. | produce amino acids for protein synthesis |
2. | generate a proton gradient for ATP synthesis |
3. | oxidize glucose to generate reduce electron carriers |
4. | regenerate NAD+ from NADH allowing glycolysis to continue |
