Coenzyme A, formed in part from one of the B vitamins, functions to:
1. | Oxidize pyruvate | 2. | Reduce pyruvate |
3. | Activate the acetyl group | 4. | Facilitate electron flow |
In lactate fermentation, the final electron acceptor is:
1. | NAD+ | 2. | pyruvate |
3. | O2 | 4. | lactic acid |
The glycolytic pathway occurs in:
1. cytoplasm
2. chloroplasts
3. matrix of the mitochondrion
4. cristae of the mitochondrion
Maximum energy can be released during the oxidation of:
1. | proteins | 2. | glucose |
3. | fatty acids | 4. | nucleic acids |
In the ETS in mitochondria, identify the product that is not correctly matched with its number:
1. | NAD+ = 10 | 2. | FAD = 2 |
3. | ATP = 26 | 4. | H2O = 12 |
Direct use of oxygen is in:
1. | Glycolysis | 2. | Fermentation |
3. | Krebs cycle | 4. | Electron transport |
In the glycolytic pathway, ATP formation:
1. does not occur
2. requires presence of oxygen
3. needs a proton gradient across a membrane
4. involves substrate-level phosphorylation
Yeast cells are able to regenerate regenerated from NADH during the :
1. reduction of acetaldehyde to ethyl alcohol
2. oxidation of pyruvate to acetyl CoA
3. reduction of pyruvate to form lactate
4. oxidation of NAD+ in the citric acid cycle
Fats and proteins can also provide us energy. For this to happen:
1. | Fats and proteins must first be converted to glucose |
2. | Fats and proteins must enter separate catabolic pathways of their own |
3. | Fats and proteins must be modified to forms that can enter the glucose metabolic pathway |
4. | Fats must first be converted to proteins that can enter the glucose metabolic pathway |
All the following will normally occur during the electron flow in ETS in mitochondria except:
1. NADH and are oxidized.
2. the pH of the matrix decreases.
3. the electrons lose free energy.
4. an electrochemical gradient is formed.
