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
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.
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 |
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 |
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
In lactate fermentation, the final electron acceptor is:
1. | NAD+ | 2. | pyruvate |
3. | O2 | 4. | lactic acid |
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 |
is produced in
1. | glycolysis | 2. | the oxidation of pyruvate |
3. | the Krebs cycle | 4. | the electron transport chain |
What process in aerobic respiration generates maximum ATP?
1. | substrate-level phosphorylation | 2. | chemiosmosis |
3. | Krebs cycle | 4. | Pyruvate decarboxylation |
