At which step, glycolysis reaches the break-even point where 2 molecules of ATP are consumed, and 2 new molecules are synthesized?
1. | Splitting of fructose-6-phosphate to two trioses |
2. | Conversion of 1,3 biphosphoglycerate to 3 - phosphoglycerate |
3. | Conversion of GADP to 1,3 biphosphogycerate |
4. | Conversion of DHAP to GADP |
Glycolysis is a sequence of ________ reactions involving ___________ intermediate compounds:
1. 10, 5
2. 10, 9
3. 10, 10
4. 9, 10
Pyruvic acid, the key product of glycolysis, can have many metabolic fates. Under aerobic condition, it forms
1. lactic acid
2. CO2 + H2O
3. acetyl Co-A+ CO2
4. ethanol + CO2
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. |
When oxygen is not available to a cell, NADH formed during glycolysis:
1. | does not undergo any change as there is no need for the cell to regenerate NAD+ |
2. | passes electrons to the electron transport system |
3. | passes hydrogen atoms to pyruvic acid |
4. | passes electrons and hydrogen atoms to acetyl coA |
Electrons carried by NADH enter the electron transport system when they are transferred to:
1. | FMN | 2. | Ubiquinone |
3. | Fe-S | 4. | FAD |
I: | Glucose |
II: | Fructose |
1. | Only I | 2. | Only II |
3. | Both I and II | 4. | Neither I nor II |
1. | Conversion of Glucose into Glucose-6-phospahte |
2. | Conversion of Fructose-6-phosphate into Fructose 1,6-biphospahte |
3. | Conversion of 1,3 biphoshoglyceric acid into 3-phosphoglyceric acid |
4. | Conversion of Phosphoenol pyruvate into Pyruvic acid |
Assertion (A): | It is better to consider the respiratory pathway as an amphibolic pathway rather than only as a catabolic one. |
Reason (R): | Breaking down processes within the living organism is catabolism, and synthesis is anabolism. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A) |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explains (A) |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False |
4. | (A) is False but (R) is True |
