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 |
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 |
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 |
Consider the two statements:
Statement I: | Inside a cell, the glucose molecule is oxidised not in one step but in several small steps. |
Statement II: | Some steps will be just large enough such that energy liberated can be coupled to ATP synthesis. |
1. | Both Statement I and Statement II are correct and Statement II explains Statement I |
2. | Both Statement I and Statement II are correct but Statement II does not explain Statement I |
3. | Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect |
4. | Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct |
The number of metabolic steps in EMP pathway where glucose undergoes partial oxidation to form two molecules of pyruvic acid is:
1. 8 | 2. 9 |
3. 10 | 4. 11 |
1. | during conversion of 1,3 biphosphoglyceric acid to 3-phosphoglyceric acid and during conversion of phosphoenolpuruvate to pyruvic acid |
2. | during conversion of glucose to glucose-6-phospate and during conversion of fructose-6-phosphate to fructose – 1,6- biphosphate |
3. | during conversion of glucose to glucose-6-phospate and during conversion of glucose-6-phosphate to fructose-6- phosphate |
4. | during conversion of 3-phosphoglyceric acid to 2-phosphoglycerate and during conversion of 2-phosphoglycerate to phosphoenolpuruvate |
The net gain of number of ATP molecules during glycolysis will be:
1. 2 | 2. 4 |
3. 6 | 4. 8 |
