What is the number of ATP molecules produced when pyruvate is converted to lactate by fermentation?
1. 0 | 2. 2 |
3. 4 | 4. 38 |
If fatty acids were to enter the respiratory pathway, they must be converted to a molecule with:
1. | Two carbons | 2. | Three carbons |
3. | Five carbons | 4. | Six carbons |
The respiratory pathway is best described as:
1. | Catabolic | 2. | Anabolic |
3. | Amphibolic | 4. | Amphipathic |
The correct descending order of the RQ value, when carbohydrates, proteins and fats are used as respiratory substrate would be:
1. Protein ˃ Fats ˃ Carbohydrates
2. Protein ˃ Carbohydrates ˃ Fats
3. Carbohydrates ˃ Protein ˃ Fats
4. Fats ˃ Carbohydrates ˃ Protein

3. Hexokinase | 4. Phosphorylase |
Pyruvic acid, the key product of glycolysis can have many metabolic fates. Under aerobic condition, it forms
