Pyruvate dehydrogenase activity during aerobic respiration requires:
1. | Calcium | 2. | Iron |
3. | Cobalt | 4. | Magnesium |
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. |
With respect to the steps of glycolysis at which utilization or synthesis of ATP or NADH takes place, Identify the incorrect match:
1. |
Production of ATP |
BPGA to 3-PGA |
2. |
Utilization of ATP |
Fructose-6-phosphate to Fructose-1,6-biphosphate |
3. |
Production of NADH |
PGAL to BPGA |
4. |
Utilization of NADH |
3-PGA to 2-PGA |
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 |
In the electron transport system in the mitochondria, oxygen acts as a:
I: final acceptor of electrons
II: final acceptor of protons
1. | Only I | 2. | Only II |
3. | Both I and II | 4. | Neither I nor II |
1. | 0.70 | 2. | 0.82 |
3. | 0.90 | 4. | 1.00 |
I: | is the ratio of the volume of carbon dioxide evolved to the volume of oxygen evolved |
II: | is 1, if carbohydrates are used as respiratory substrates and are completely oxidized |
1. | Only I is correct |
2. | Only II is correct |
3. | Both I and II are correct |
4. | Both I and II are incorrect |
I: | ATP is used as the energy currency of the cell. |
II: | ATP molecule has two high energy bonds. |
I: | Transport of gases from the respiratory surface to the cells |
II: | Breakdown of food material within the cell to release energy |
III: | Trapping of energy released during the breakdown of food material within the cell for synthesis of ATP |
1. | Only I and II | 2. | Only I and III |
3. | Only II and III | 4. | I, II and III |
