The overall goal of glycolysis, Krebs cycle and the electron transport system is the formation of:
1. ATP in small stepwise units
2. ATP in one large oxidation reaction
3. Sugars
4. Nucleic acids
Pyruvate dehydrogenase activity during aerobic respiration requires:
1. | Calcium | 2. | Iron |
3. | Cobalt | 4. | Magnesium |
How many ATP molecules could maximally be generated from one molecule of glucose, if the complete oxidation of one mole of glucose to and yields 686 kcal and the useful chemical energy available in the high energy phosphate bond of one mole of ATP is 12 Kcal?
1. | Two | 2. | Thirty |
3. | Fifty-seven | 4. | One |
Which of the following is the connecting link between glycolysis and Kreb's cycle?
1. | Acetyl Co-A | 2. | Oxalosuccinic acid |
3. | Pyruvic acid | 4. | Citric acid |
Glycolysis is found in the cytoplasm of virtually all types of aerobic/anaerobic cells. In this process, glucose is converted into :
1. | PEP | 2. | acetyl CoA |
3. | pyruvic acid | 4. | citric acid |
Which one of the following mammalian cells are not capable of metabolising glucose to carbon dioxide aerobically?
1. | White blood cells | 2. | Unstriated muscle cells |
3. | Liver cells | 4. | Red blood cells |
The three boxes in this diagram represent the three major biosynthetic pathways in aerobic respiration. Arrows represent net reactants or products.
Arrows numbered 4, 8, 12 can all be
1. | NADH | 2. | ATP |
3. | H2O | 4. | FAD+ or FADH2 |
