What is the metabolic fate of pyruvate?
1. It is the end product of glycolytic pathway
2. It is reduced to acetyl CoA in the presence of oxygen
3. It depends on the cellular needs
4. It is decarboxylated in the cytosol
Based on the information given in Section 14.3 of your NCERT textbook, can you identify the chemical reaction catalyzed by the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase?
1.
2.
3.
4. None of these
The maximum concentration of alcohol in beverages that are naturally fermented is about:
1. 5 – 8 % | 2. 13 – 15 % |
3. 33 – 34 % | 4. 47 – 49 % |
Pyruvate is transported into the mitochondria by:
1. Simple diffusion
2. Facilitated diffusion
3. Active transport
4. Either 2 or 3, depending on the availability of oxygen
The continued oxidation of acetyl CoA via the TCA cycle requires the continued replenishment of:
I. Oxaloacetic acid | II. NAD+ | III. FAD |
1. | I and II only | 2. | I and III only |
3. | II and III only | 4. | I, II and III |
At how many points in the TCA cycle is reduced to NADH + ?
1. | 2 | 2. | 3 |
3. | 4 | 4. | 6 |
During the conversion of succinyl CoA to succinic acid in TCA cycle:
1. One molecule of ATP is directly synthesized
2. is reduced
3. FAD is reduced
4. One molecule of GTP is synthesized
The electron transport system in mitochondria is located in the:
1. Inner mitochondrial membrane
2. Outer mitochondrial membrane
3. Inter membrane space
4. Matrix
Ubiquinone receives reducing equivalents via:
I. Complex I | II. Complex II | III. Complex III |
1. | Only I | 2. | Only I and II |
3. | Only I and III | 4. | I, II and III |
Cytochrome c is found:
1. | attached to outer surface of the inner mitochondrial membrane |
2. | attached to inner surface of the inner mitochondrial membrane |
3. | in the inter membrane space |
4. | in the mitochondrial matrix |
