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.

Identify the correct statements regarding the mitochondrial electron transport system.

I: Electrons from NADH in mitochondrial matrix are first transferred to [Fe-S] and then to FMN in complex I.
II: Complex II is not a proton pump.
III: Cytochrome c is located on the outer surface of the inner membrane.
IV: Ubiquinone, located within the inner mitochondrial membrane, is oxidized with the transfer of electrons to cytochrome c via complex III.

1. Only II and III 2. Only II, III and IV
3. Only IV 4. Only I and III

When oxygen is not available to a cell, NADH formed during glycolysis:

1. does not undergo any change as there is no need for the cell to regenerate NAD+
2. passes electrons to the electron transport system
3. passes hydrogen atoms to pyruvic acid
4. passes electrons and hydrogen atoms to acetyl coA

The ratio of the volume of CO2 evolved to the volume of O2 consumed in respiration is called as the respiratory quotient [RQ]. Calculate RQ when albumin is used as a respiratory substrate[see the given equation]:
C77H112N2O22S + 77O2 → 63 CO2 + 38 H2O + SO2 + 9 CO(NH2)2
1. 0.70 2. 0.82
