By the end of glycolysis, most of the original energy in the glucose molecule is:
1. utilized to form ATP.
2. retained in the pyruvate.
3. stored in the NADH produced.
4. lost as heat.
Krebs cycle is also called as:
1. | glycolysis | 2. | fermentation |
3. | Calvin cycle | 4. | the citric acid cycle |
Only two molecules of NADH are formed during glycolysis because:
1. | The amount of energy in glucose is sufficient only to make two NADH. |
2. | Most of the energy of glucose is diverted to ATP during Glycolysis. |
3. | Most of the free energy available from the oxidation of glucose remains in pyruvate. |
4. | The availability of NAD+ is enough to make only two NADH. |
The ʺnetʺ products of glycolysis are:
1. , , 2 pyruvate, 2 ATP, and .
2. , , 2 ATP, and 2 pyruvate
3. , 2 pyruvate, 4 ATP, and .
4.2 NADH, , 2 pyruvate, 2 ATP, and .
Glycolysis will be most adversely affected by a toxin:
1. | that reacts with oxygen and reduces its availability |
2. | that binds to pyruvate and inactivates it |
3. | that closely mimics the structure of glucose but is not metabolized |
4. | that regenerates from NADH |
Consider the latter half of glycolytic pathway given below:
In reaction 6
I. The enzyme involved is an oxidoreductase
II. Arsenate may uncouple the pathway at this stage
1. Only I is true
2. Only II is true
3. Both I and II are true
4. Both I and II are false
Consider the latter half of glycolytic pathway given below:
Regarding reaction 7:
I. Glycolysis has reached the break-even point.
II. When the cell has plenty of ATP (and little ADP), this reaction does not occur.
1. Only I is true
2. Only II is true
3. Both I and II are true
4. Both I and II are false
Refer to the schematic diagram of Krebs citric acid cycle given below:
How many of the enzymes involved in the pathway are dehydrogenases?
1. 2
2. 3
3. 4
4. 5
Refer to the given schematic diagram of Krebs cycle :
The step where substrate level phosphorylation takes place is catalyzed by the enzyme:
1. Aconitase
2. Isocitrate dehydrogenase
3. Succinyl-CoA synthetase
4. Succinate dehydrogenase
When pyruvic acid is converted to acetyl CoA, the former is:
1. | Oxidized | 2. | Reduced |
3. | Isomerized | 4. | Caboxylated |
