Energy released by oxidation in respiration:
1. can use only carbohydrates as respiratory substrate
2. is all released free into the cell
3. is all released in a single step
4. cannot be used directly
Sucrose is converted into glucose and fructose by the enzyme:
1. Sucrase | 2. Aldolase |
3. Invertase | 4. Zymase |
The maximum concentration of alcohol in beverages that are naturally fermented is about:
1. 5 – 8 % | 2. 13 – 15 % |
3. 33 – 34 % | 4. 47 – 49 % |
The continued oxidation of acetyl CoA via the TCA cycle requires the continued replenishment of:
I. Oxaloacetic acid | II. NAD+ | III. FAD |
1. | I and II only | 2. | I and III only |
3. | II and III only | 4. | I, II and III |
At how many points in the TCA cycle is reduced to NADH + ?
1. | 2 | 2. | 3 |
3. | 4 | 4. | 6 |
During the conversion of succinyl CoA to succinic acid in TCA cycle:
1. One molecule of ATP is directly synthesized
2. is reduced
3. FAD is reduced
4. One molecule of GTP is synthesized
Ubiquinone receives reducing equivalents via:
I. Complex I | II. Complex II | III. Complex III |
1. | Only I | 2. | Only I and II |
3. | Only I and III | 4. | I, II and III |
Cytochrome c is found:
1. | attached to outer surface of the inner mitochondrial membrane |
2. | attached to inner surface of the inner mitochondrial membrane |
3. | in the inter membrane space |
4. | in the mitochondrial matrix |
The number of ATP molecules synthesized from oxidation of one molecule of NADH and one molecule of are respectively:
1. | 3 and 2 | 2. | 2 and 3 |
3. | 1 and 1 | 4. | 2 and 1 |
Oxygen drives the process of ATP production via ETS. The best explanation for this would be that oxygen:
1. is needed at the end of the aerobic respiration
2. is the terminal electron donor
3. is not required in the glycolytic pathway
4. acts as the final hydrogen acceptor
