In the citric acid cycle:
1. | oxygen is used to oxidise the acetyl group carbons of acetyl-CoA in the citric acid cycle. |
2. | three molecules of NADH and one molecule of FADH2 are produced in one turn. |
3. | oxygen is not used, so the cycle can occur in anaerobic conditions. |
4. | water is formed during the complete oxidation of glucose. |
Pyruvate dehydrogenase activity during aerobic respiration requires:
1. | Calcium | 2. | Iron |
3. | Cobalt | 4. | Magnesium |
In lactate fermentation, the final electron acceptor is:
1. | NAD+ | 2. | pyruvate |
3. | O2 | 4. | lactic acid |
Ubiquinone is:
1. | a protein in the mitochondrial electron transport chain |
2. | a substrate for synthesis of FADH |
3. | a vitamin used as coenzyme in Krebs cycle |
4. | a small hydrophobic coenzyme |
The correct chronological sequence of the stages of the glycolytic pathway is:
1. | glucose priming, cleavage and rearrangement, oxidation, ATP generation |
2. | cleavage and rearrangement, glucose priming, ATP generation, oxidation |
3. | glucose priming, oxidation, cleavage and rearrangement, ATP generation |
4. | ATP generation, oxidation, glucose priming, cleavage and rearrangement |
Identify the incorrectly matched pair:
Component of ETC | Name | |
1. | Complex I | NADH dehydrogenase |
2. | Complex II | Succinate dehydrogenase |
3. | Complex III | Cytochrome b6f complex |
4. | Complex IV | Cytochrome c oxidase |
ATP synthesis during oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria is directly driven by:
1. | oxidation of glucose. |
2. | electron transport downhill in the ETC. |
3. | terminal transfer of electrons to oxygen. |
4. | chemiosmosis. |
When electron pass downhill in the ETC, the energy released is used to pump protons into:
1. matrix of mitochondria
2. cytosol
3. mitochondrial inner membrane
4. mitochondrial intermembrane space
The correct sequence of flow of electrons downhill in the mitochondrial electron transport chain would be:
1. ubiquinone, cytochromes, FMN, Fe-S
2. cytochromes, FMN, ubiquinone, Fe-S
3. Fe-S, FMN, cytochromes, ubiquinone
4. FMN, Fe-S, ubiquinone, cytochromes
Krebs cycle is also called as:
1. | glycolysis | 2. | fermentation |
3. | Calvin cycle | 4. | the citric acid cycle |
