Question

Which one of the following equations does NOT represent a reaction or group of reactions that function in the complete oxidation of pyruvate by the mitochondria? (Do not be concerned about missing H+ or H2O) fumarate + H2O rightarrow malate alpha-ketoglutarate + NAD+ + CoA-SH rightarrow succinyl CoA + NADH + CO2 pyruvate + NADH lactate + NAD+ acetyl CoA + 3 NAD+ + FAD + GDP + Pi rightarrow 2 CO2 + 3 NADH + FADH2 + GTP Which product of the aldolase reaction in glycolysis continues in the glycolytic pathway to pyruvate? Glucose 6-phosphate 3-phosphogylcerate Fructose 1, 6-bisphosphate Phosphoenolpyruvate Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate

Explanation / Answer

(1) pyruvate+NADH --> lactate + NAD+ (Pyruvate is converted to lactate under anaerobic conditions.)

(2) phosphoenolpyruvate is the product of aldolase reaction in glycolysis continuing in the glycolytic pathway to pyruvate
