Which of these statements is incorrect?
1. | Enzymes of TCA cycle are present in mitochondrial matrix. |
2. | Glycolysis occurs in cytosol. |
3. | Glycolysis operates as long as it is supplied with NAD that can pick up hydrogen atoms. |
4. | Oxidative phosphorylation takes place in outer mitochondrial membrane. |
1. | It combines with lactate, forming pyruvate. |
2. | It acts as an acceptor for electrons and hydrogen, forming water. |
3. | It combines with carbon, forming \(\text {CO}_2\). |
4. | It yields energy in the form of ATP as it is passed down the respiratory chain. |
Consider the given two statements regarding the electron transport system in mitochondria:
Statement I: | NADH dehydrogenase is complex I. |
Statement II: | ATP synthase is complex IV. |
1. Only Statement I is correct.
2. Only Statement II is correct.
3. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
4. Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.
I: | Ubiquinone is an electron carrier located within the inner mitochondrial membrane. |
II: | Cytochrome c is an electron carrier located on the outer surface of the inner mitochondrial membrane. |
1. | The electron transport chain is located in the inner mitochondrial membrane. |
2. | Oxygen serves as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain. |
3. | The electron transport chain generates a proton gradient that drives the synthesis of ATP. |
4. | NADH and FADH2 donate their electrons directly to oxygen in the first step of the electron transport chain. |
1. | Oxygen is necessary to regenerate NAD+ from NADH. |
2. | Oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor, forming water. |
3. | Oxygen directly participates in the synthesis of ATP. |
4. | Oxygen initiates the breakdown of glucose in glycolysis |
