Question

Question #1:Oxygen, as part of the ETC, is responsible for regeneration of FAD and NADP+, which are required to keep the oxidative TCA cycle functioning

a.) True

b.) False

Question #2:Conversion of oxaloacetate + acetyl-CoA to citrate:

a.) requires NAD+

b.) requires FAD

c.) produces carbon dioxide

d.) utilizes GTP as an energy source

e.) produces free CoA-SH

a.) True

b.) False

Question #4: How many CO2 molecules are produced by pyruvate dehydrogenase and the TCA cycle per molecule of glyceraldehydes-3-phosphate that goes through glycolysis, pyruvate dehydrogenase, and the TCA cycle?

a.) 1

b.) 2

c.) 3

d.) 4

e.) 6

Question #5:How many NADPH molecules are produced by pyruvate dehydrogenase and the TCA cycle per molecule of phosphoenolpyruvate that goes through glycolysis, pyruvate dehydrogenase, and the TCA cycle? a.)3

b.) 4

c.) 6

d.) 8

e.) 0

Explanation / Answer

Q 1). Oxygen, as part of the ETC, is responsible for regeneration of FAD and NADP+, which are required to keep the oxidative TCA cycle functioning ----------------> TRUE

Q 2). e.) produces free CoA-SH

Conversion of oxaloacetate + acetyl-CoA (in the presence of water) to citrate produces free CoA-SH and proton.

Q 3). The TCA cycle itself is an anaerobic process that requires FAD and NAD+ but does not directly require oxygen. ----------> TRUE.

The TCA cycle do not directly require oxygen, but it is considered as aerobic process.
