Question

Question #1: (0.8 point) 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: (0.8 point) 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

Question #3: (0.8 point) The TCA cycle itself is an anaerobic process that requires FAD and NAD+ but does not directly require oxygen.

a.) True b.) False

Question #4: (0.8 point) 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: (0.8 point) 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

1. The answer is False, The regeneration of NADP and FAD takes place by donation of electrons to complex I in ETC.

2. The answer is produces free CoA-SH.

3. The answer is False, Krebs cycle is a aerobic process as it can only take place in presence of oxygen because it relies on the by-products of ETC which requires oxygen

4. The answer is 3. For each molecule of Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate after passing through pyruvate dehydrogenase and TCA cycle 3 molecules of CO2 are produced.

5. The answer is Zero, NADPH molecules are produced in Pentose phosphate shunt pathway.
